## Description

Use when explicitly asked to deliver an approved GitHub or local spec through a reviewed pull request, or when a Project controller delegates one claimed implementation ticket.

# Deliver spec

## Core principle

Deliver one approved outcome with proportional validation and independent final
review. The lead owns architecture, integration and delivery, and implements
tightly coupled or sequential work directly by default. Delegate only when
independent work, isolation or specialist investigation justifies the
overhead; available worker capacity alone does not. Preserve explicit ownership,
external-action permissions, execution budgets and invocation-specific merge
authority. Never select work from a Project queue.

## Select the mode

For an active `run-github-project` controller's verified ticket handoff, read
[Project controller handoff](references/project-handoff.md) and apply its
procedure instead of the standalone approval, merge, and timeout rules below.
The Project controller retains all shared state and merge authority.
For a direct named-spec request, use the standalone procedure below; if a
Project run already owns that issue, return it to that controller.
