cnb-npc-delegate

First search for a suitable NPC using the cnb knowledge-base search-npc command with relevant keywords, then summon it using the @{slug}({name}) mention format. Provide complete context including task background, related files, constraints, and expected deliverables.

Summon another NPC when the task needs domain expertise outside your scope, when subtasks can run in parallel, when work spans multiple repositories, or when another NPC is simply more efficient. Always evaluate capability fit before delegating.

Use the format @{slug}({name}), for example @npc/hok(π) for the NPC named π in repository npc/hok. If you only want to reference an NPC without summoning it, remove the @ symbol or wrap the mention in backticks.

Three modes are supported: division of labor where each NPC handles part of the task, sequential review where one NPC refines another's output, and parallel processing where multiple NPCs handle independent tasks simultaneously.

Include the task background describing the problem, relevant files or code paths, constraints such as tech stack and coding standards, and the expected deliverable format. Providing full context upfront avoids repeated back-and-forth clarification.
