FAQPage Schema
How do I lint sub-agent prompts before dispatching a Task?

To lint sub-agent prompts before dispatch, use a prompt linter to review drafts against a 10-slot skeleton, positive framing, and absolute paths. It returns a scored audit and a revised, ready-to-dispatch prompt.

What is the 10-slot skeleton structure for AI agent delegation?

The 10-slot skeleton structure is a mandatory compliance framework for AI agent delegation prompts. It enforces specific sections, schemas, verification checklists, and positive framing to ensure sub-agents receive clear, executable instructions.

Why do my sub-agent prompts fail during parallel fan-out orchestration?

Sub-agent prompts fail during parallel fan-out orchestration due to missing schemas, negative phrasing, relative paths, or absent step budgets. Pre-flight linting catches these weak delegation issues before dispatch.

How do I check if an orchestrator prompt is ready for high-stakes delegation?

To check if an orchestrator prompt is ready for high-stakes delegation, run a pre-flight linting check. This flags missing schemas and negative phrasing, returning a compact audit and a skeleton-compliant revised draft.

What is the best way to enforce positive framing in AI workflow prompts?

The best way to enforce positive framing in AI workflow prompts is to lint draft instructions before dispatch. A prompt linter flags negative phrasing and returns a revised draft with positive, actionable instructions.

When should I run a pre-flight check on agent orchestration prompts?

Run a pre-flight check on agent orchestration prompts when preparing complex Task prompts, reviewing parallel fan-out, or handling high-stakes delegation. It ensures instructions have absolute paths and verification checklists.
