Prerequisites

• I will write this issue in English (see our Language Policy)
• I have searched existing issues and discussions
• I have read the documentation or asked an AI coding agent with this project's GitHub URL loaded and couldn't find the answer
• This is a question (not a bug report or feature request)

Question

1. I’d like to know: When I use Prometheus to generate a plan and then directly run /start-work to summon Atlas to begin work, versus running in Hephaestus mode and explicitly specifying the plan.md file to execute the plan, which approach produces better results?
2. I’m curious: If the ulw command is introduced, how would that change the differences between the two approaches mentioned above?
3. Another question is this: If I don’t use the Prometheus + Atlas combination but instead define my requirements using OpenSpec, when I want to start implementing the task, should I choose Hephaestus, or should I go straight to Sisyphus?

agreed - I've been having issues running /start-work so I switch to prometheus and run the plan there atm. However, Atlas or Hephaestus are probably what I'm supposed to switch to!
