I — 📜 THE OMNINOUN MANIFESTO
1. 🚀 Introduction & Vision: The Era of Execution
Artificial intelligence is no longer just a chatbot answering questions like ChatGPT or Claude. We are entering the era of execution.
⚙️
AI becomes operational.
It no longer just advises, it acts. We are developing systems capable of making decisions, executing complex tasks, and learning from their mistakes.
The goal is to free humans from repetitive tasks to focus them on strategy and creation.
2. 🔍 Market Analysis: Moving Beyond Isolated AI
Most companies use AI in an isolated way: an employee copies and pastes text into an LLM, retrieves the result, and processes it manually. This is a waste of time and efficiency.

II — UNDERSTANDING THE LANDSCAPE
Before choosing a model, it must be understood that there is no universal "best model." There are profiles adapted to specific uses. Here is the taxonomy that structures this guide.
The 6 AI Model Profiles
1. UI-first — The Visual Creatives
These models excel in generating interfaces: React components, Tailwind, animations, landing pages, clean HTML/CSS. They have a good sense of visual rhythm and produce quickly usable frontend code.
Less reliable on backend architecture, sometimes generic on designs.
Typical Examples
Gemini Flash, Kimi K2.5
2. Reasoning-first — The Architects
These models think before they act. They break down problems, identify edge cases, and propose solid structures. Excellent for complex debugging, refactoring, and architectural decisions.
Strengths
Logic, debugging, architecture, consistency over long contexts.
Limitations
Sometimes slower, more verbose, less "creative" on the frontend.
Typical Examples
Claude Sonnet, GPT-5, GLM-5
3. Agent-first — The Autonomous Workers
These models are optimized for agentic flows: tool calling, execution loops, task chains. They know how to use tools, self-correct, and progress through several steps without constant supervision.
Strengths
Tool calling, orchestration, pipelines, autonomy.
Limitations
Sometimes less refined on creative tasks or deep one-off reasoning.
Typical Examples
DeepSeek V4, Claude (via API), Qwen with agents
4. Coding-first — The Reliable Developers
These models have been massively trained on code. They understand the nuances of frameworks, produce correct and consistent code, and handle multi-file projects well.
These models offer an exceptional quality/cost ratio. Perfect for repetitive tasks, high-volume pipelines, secondary agents, and data preprocessing.
Strengths
Very low cost, speed, good general level.
Typical Examples
DeepSeek, Gemini Flash, Claude Haiku
6. Long-context — The Large Document Readers
These models handle contexts of several hundred thousand tokens. Essential for analyzing large codebases, long documents, or maintaining consistency over very long sessions.
Strengths
Extended context, consistency over long sessions.
Typical Examples
Gemini (1M tokens), Claude (200k tokens)
Evaluating a Model: The 5 Axes
For each model or use case, evaluate it on these 5 axes:
Axis
What it Measures
Questions to Ask
Speed
Generation rapidity
Do I need immediate results?
Depth
Reasoning quality
Is the problem complex or simple?
Cost
Price per token/request
What is the frequency of use?
Autonomy
Agentic capability
Should it act alone or just answer?
Creativity
Originality of outputs
Is it creative or technical work?
The 3 Classic Pitfalls
1. The Single Model
Using the same model for everything — because it's simple, because it's what you know — is the most common pitfall. It's also the most costly and least efficient in the long run.
Using GPT-5 to generate simple CSS is like taking a taxi to go buy bread.
2. Blind Benchmarking
Benchmarks measure performance under controlled conditions. They don't measure what matters: quality on your specific task, in your context, with your constraints. The best model is the one that finishes your work quickly, cleanly, with few retries.
3. "More Expensive = Better"
False. Modern low-cost models (Gemini Flash, DeepSeek, Haiku) do 80% of the work of a premium model for 10% of the price. The real skill is knowing when to pay for power and when to save.
III — CHOOSING YOUR MODELS BY USE CASE
This section is the operational guide. For each work context, you will find: real needs, recommended models with their precise roles, their strengths and limitations, and a synthetic verdict.
Important: These recommendations are based on a specific criterion — quality/cost/speed ratio for web projects and AI agents, not on general benchmarks.
80 to 90% of the work can be done by two models: Gemini 2.5 Flash + Qwen 3.6 Plus. The rest is specialization.

Critical cases, architecture, final validation
V — AGENTIC THINKING
What is an agent? (Not the marketing definition)
The word "agent" is everywhere. It is often misused. Here is the definition that matters operationally:
An AI agent is a model that can take actions in the real world — calling APIs, reading files, writing code, browsing the web, sending messages — and chain these actions autonomously to achieve a goal.
What distinguishes an agent from a simple chatbot:
It has access to tools (tools / function calling)
It can act in several steps without human intervention at each step
It can self-correct based on intermediate results
It maintains state and memory over the duration of a task
An agent doesn't "answer" — it "does".
Orchestration vs Execution: The Fundamental Distinction
The most frequent confusion in AI projects is mixing two roles that must remain separate:
Orchestration
Execution
Decides what to do
Does what is decided
Chooses the right agent for each task
Executes a specific task
Handles errors and redirects
Reports errors
Maintains the global vision
Maintains the local focus
Models: Claude Sonnet, GPT-5
Models: DeepSeek, Haiku, Gemini Flash
The classic error: using a powerful and expensive model for simple task execution. Result: exploding bill, unnecessary latency, no quality gain.
The right approach: lightweight model for execution, intelligent model for orchestration — and human for final supervision.
New Agentic Workflows
Flow 1 — Task Decomposition
Before launching anything, you decompose. Practical example:
Goal: "Create a user profile page with photo, bio, and activity history"
A good routing system can automate these decisions. But even manually, developing this reflex changes everything.
Flow 3 — Feedback Loop
Agents don't do everything right the first time. The strength is in the loop:
The agent produces a result
You (or another agent) evaluate the result
If satisfactory: move to the next step
If unsatisfactory: correct the prompt, relaunch, or change model
This loop short-circuits the "I send a prompt and hope" mental model. It replaces hope with control.
Flow 4 — Context Memory
A major problem with agents: they forget. Most models do not have persistent memory between sessions.
Practical solutions:
Pass the relevant context at each call ("here is where we are")
Maintain a state file that the agent can read and update
Use memory tools (vector databases, automatic summaries)
Structure short sessions with explicit checkpoints
Humans in the Loop: When to Supervise, When to Let Go
Human supervision has a cost: your time and attention. It must be reserved for moments when it adds value.
Supervise Actively
Let It Run
Irreversible decisions
Repetitive and tested tasks
First execution of a flow
Stable pipelines with logs
Public or client outputs
Internal preprocessing
Large amounts / sensitive data
Low-value classification / extraction
New agents / tools
Agents already validated on hundreds of cases
The golden rule: supervise until you have confidence. Let go as soon as you have reliable quality metrics.
Agentic Anti-patterns: Errors to Avoid
Anti-pattern 1 — Too Much Autonomy Too Soon
Giving an agent access to critical systems before validating its behavior on simple cases. Result: poorly executed irreversible actions.
Rule: always start in "read-only" mode, then grant permissions progressively.
Anti-pattern 2 — Poorly Managed Context
Launching an agent on a long task without passing it the relevant history. It "forgets" the beginning, producing inconsistent outputs.
Rule: always include the minimum necessary context — neither too much (context pollution) nor too little (loss of consistency).
Anti-pattern 3 — Exploding Cost
Using a premium model for all steps of a pipeline, including the simplest ones. Result: bill ×10 without quality gain.
Rule: profile each step, assign the cheapest model that does the work well.
Anti-pattern 4 — Too Vague Prompt
"Do something interesting with this data." Agents don't handle ambiguity as well as humans. Result: random outputs, looping retries.
Rule: be as precise as you would be with a junior collaborator — expected format, constraints, examples if possible.
Anti-pattern 5 — No Error Handling
A pipeline that doesn't foresee what happens when an agent fails. It crashes, nothing continues.
Rule: always provide a fallback — another model, a degraded output, a human alert.
V — 💭 AGENTIC THINKING
To move from theory to production without obstacles, implementing agentic thinking on your machine
(via your configuration files like CLAUDE.md or .clauderc) must follow a strict 6-step protocol.
This workflow transforms a simple chatbot into an autonomous and reliable software engineer.
1. Plan Node Default (Planning Mode)
Before any modification, the agent isolates itself in a planning node.
It maps the tree structure, inspects dependencies, and lists impacted files.
A written action plan is produced and submitted for validation before execution.
Before writing or modifying a single line of code, you must mandatorily open a planning phase.
Analyze the existing tree, read the necessary files, and write a structured action plan in list form.
Wait for my explicit validation before moving to execution.
2. Subagent Strategy
To avoid context overload, the main agent delegates to specialized subagents.
Each subagent handles a targeted task (tests, parsing, UI), ensuring precision and modularity.
For any complex task involving more than 3 files or distinct technologies (e.g., Frontend + Backend),
behave like an orchestrator. Decompose the work and generate ultra-targeted instructions (micro-prompts)
to guide your subagents or your own future iterations in an isolated way.
3. Self-Improvement Loop
The agent rereads and critiques its own code before submitting it.
It looks for security flaws, duplications, unnecessary complexity, and missing typings.
Corrections are automatically applied in this short loop.
Once the code is written, apply an automatic critical review before presenting it to me.
Analyze your own proposal for: security flaws, duplication (DRY), unnecessary complexity (KISS), and missing typings.
Correct your own errors invisibly in this phase.
4. Verification Before Done (Systematic Verification)
A task is only validated after executing unit tests and the production build.
Without complete success, the task remains open.
You are formally prohibited from declaring a task as finished or asking me to test if you have not yourself executed
the project's tests and the production build in the terminal.
The success of these commands is the only acceptable validation criterion.
Code must remain simple, robust, and readable.
No over-engineering or heavy frameworks if a native solution suffices.
Elegance takes precedence over gratuitous complexity.
Constantly strive for elegance and architectural simplicity.
Never propose over-engineering or heavy frameworks if a native or simple solution is suitable.
The code must be minimal, modern, documented on the 'why', and human-readable.
6. Autonomous Bug Fixing
In case of test or build failure, the agent analyzes the logs, isolates the bug, and proposes a fix.
It restarts the modification loop without requesting human help, except for persistent blocking.
If a test or build command fails at step 4, do not interrupt your execution to ask me for help.
Immediately analyze the terminal's error logs, locate the faulty line, issue a new hypothesis,
and correct the course autonomously.
VI — READING LEVELS
This guide is designed to be read and reread as you progress. Here is how to approach it based on your current level.
🟢 Beginner Level — Where to Start
You are discovering AI models or have just started using them in your workflow.
What to Remember
There is no single "best model" — there are models adapted to specific uses
Start with Gemini 2.5 Flash for the majority of your coding tasks
Add Qwen 3.6 Plus as soon as you work on Python/Django backend
Use Claude Sonnet when you are stuck on something really difficult
Minimal Setup to Get Started
Gemini Flash → your default daily model
Qwen → your backend model
A premium model (Claude Sonnet or GPT-5) → your safety net
What You Don't Need to Understand Yet
Multi-agent orchestration — that will come later
Automatic routing — start by doing it manually
Complex pipelines — first validate simple cases
🟡 Intermediate Level — Combining Models
You already use several models but intuitively, not yet systematically.
What to Integrate
Develop the "which model for this specific task" reflex before each session
Apply stack patterns (IV) rather than choosing case by case
Start decomposing large tasks into assignable sub-tasks
Set up short feedback loops
Key Skills to Develop
Write precise prompts with context, expected format, and constraints
Recognize when a model should be changed (disappointing results → change model)
Manage context manually between sessions
First Agent to Build
A simple agent that takes a React component specification, breaks it down into steps, and generates each part with the right model. Nothing complex — but it forces thinking in flows.
🔴 Advanced Level — Orchestration and Architectures
You master the basics and want to build robust agentic systems.
What to Build
An automatic routing system based on task type and complexity
Pipelines with error management, fallbacks, and logs
A persistent memory layer (vector database or structured state file)
Automated quality metrics to evaluate agent outputs
Architectures to Explore
Hierarchical agents: an orchestrator + specialized workers
Parallel agents: several agents on independent sub-tasks simultaneously
Self-correcting agents: validation loop integrated into each agent
Human-in-the-loop: supervision points automatically triggered on uncertain cases

ANNEXES
A. Glossary
Key terms in this guide, defined without unnecessary jargon.
AI Agent
AI model capable of taking autonomous actions in the real world using tools, chaining several steps, and self-correcting.
Context window
The maximum amount of text a model can process at once. A 1M token context can analyze an entire novel at once. Important for long projects.
Fine-tuning
The process of additional training of a model on specific data to improve its performance in a precise field.
Hallucination
When a model produces false information with confidence. Frequent on precise facts, dates, and names. Always check for critical content.
Orchestration
The coordination of several agents or models to accomplish a complex task. The orchestrator decides who does what, and in what order.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
A technique that allows a model to fetch information from a database before answering. Reduces hallucinations and allows using recent data.
Routing
The decision to send a task to a specific model according to its characteristics. Can be manual (you decide) or automatic (a system decides).
System prompt
Instruction given to the model upstream of the conversation to define its role, tone, and constraints. Very powerful for customizing behavior.
Temperature
A parameter that controls the model's level of creativity/randomness. 0 = deterministic and predictable. 1+ = creative and varied. For code: keep low. For creativity: increase.
Token
The basic unit that models process. About 0.75 words in English. Model cost is calculated in tokens. 1000 tokens ≈ 750 words.
Tool calling (function calling)
A model's ability to call external functions or APIs — search the web, read a file, send an email. The fundamental building block of agents.

C. This Guide is Alive
The AI model market is evolving fast. A model recommended today may be outdated in six months. A new competitor can emerge overnight.
This guide must be updated regularly. The principles (agentic thinking, orchestration, routing, stack patterns) remain stable. Specific model recommendations evolve.
Treat it as a living system: note your own observations, add your use cases, and invalidate what no longer corresponds to your reality.
The best guide is the one you adapt to your reality.
