Like what did Lenin or Marx have to say about worker agency? Is it all assigned by the state? Based on skill? Endless battery of tests to place people? Loyalty?

First of all, there is no state in a socialist utopia. Unless you mean socialist in the sense of having a dictatorship of the proletariat, but would not call that a utopia.
Usually Marxists find speculating about the specifics of the far future communist society pretty pointless. No one can really know how it will look. I would assume there would be some system to measure the society's needs and arrange what work is necessary to fulfill them to be done.
"In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly – only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!" -Marx, Critique of the Gotha Programme
so on specialization of labour, what about hyper skilled fields that require extensive of accumulation of skills or knowledge? like idk nuclear engineer (idk just curious)
