Classify tool delegations as appropriate, convenient…
Before delegating a cognitive task to a tool, classify whether the delegation is appropriate (tool does it better and verification is easy), convenient (saves time but you could do it), or critical (you cannot perform it without the tool), because critical delegations create capability gaps when tools fail.
Periodically perform critical delegated tasks without…
For critical tool delegations where failure would compromise your effectiveness, maintain periodic unassisted performance of the delegated capability to prevent atrophy of the biological skill, treating the practice as architectural redundancy rather than inefficiency.
Govern your tool use with explicit policies
Design tool-use policies that define which tools you allow for which tasks, under what conditions, and with what fallback behavior when tools fail, treating this as governance of your extended cognitive architecture rather than as tool preferences.
