SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams using Sixth Sense need a consistent, project-level way to control which AI models subagents use and how much reasoning effort they spend, instead of re-deciding on every task dispatch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Setup Interview: Walks the user through five questions covering authorized models (Sonnet, Haiku), default effort level, Haiku batching, Opus second-opinion review, and Opus routing for the hardest tasks. - Persistent Configuration File: Generates a .sixth-sense/model-preferences.md file with YAML frontmatter that is read automatically by dispatching-parallel-agents on every dispatch. - Cost vs. Capability Control: Lets teams trade off cost (Haiku batching, Sonnet-only mode) against reasoning depth (Opus review passes, opus-high escalation tier). - Use Case: A team lead starting a new project runs the setup once, answers the five questions with recommended defaults, and every subsequent parallel agent dispatch in that project respects the saved model and effort preferences. ## Quick Start Run the configuring-sixth-sense skill once in your project and answer the five setup questions to generate the model preferences file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure model preferences for Sixth Sense subagents?

Run the configuring-sixth-sense skill once per project. It asks five questions about authorized models, default effort, Haiku batching, and Opus usage, then writes a .sixth-sense/model-preferences.md file that dispatching-parallel-agents reads automatically.

How do I change the default effort level for Sonnet subagents?

Re-run the configuring-sixth-sense skill and answer question 2 with low, medium, or high. Medium is recommended for everyday work; the new value is written to the model-preferences.md file and applies to future dispatches.

What is Haiku batching and should I turn it off?

Haiku batching routes trivial tasks (single-file changes under 20 lines with no architectural decisions) to Haiku instead of Sonnet, reducing cost. It is on by default; disable it only if you want every task on Sonnet regardless of cost.

What is the difference between Opus review and Opus routing?

Opus review is a read-only second-opinion pass on finished specs and reviews, benchmarked at about 4% of a full review pipeline's cost. Opus routing is a normal dispatch tier (opus-high) reserved for genuinely architectural work and fix-loop escalation after sonnet-high fails twice.

Where are Sixth Sense model preferences stored?

Preferences are stored in .sixth-sense/model-preferences.md in the project root, with YAML frontmatter covering models, default-effort, haiku-batching, opus-review, opus-routing, and max-parallel-agents. Re-run the skill to regenerate it.
