delegate

Task delegation to specialist agents is triggered when a workflow requires domain-specific knowledge exceeding generalist capabilities, such as during architecture reviews, complex planning, or implementation handoffs requiring specialized expertise.

Context is handed off by selecting a delegation method that preserves workflow state, either by spawning a sub-agent or initializing directly as the chosen specialist, ensuring domain-specific tasks continue seamlessly without losing prior context.

Yes, this approach supports complex planning and architecture reviews by identifying delegation triggers and selecting the appropriate specialist agents to handle domain knowledge that exceeds generalist capabilities.

Spawning a sub-agent creates a parallel instance to handle the delegated task, while initializing as a specialist transforms the current agent's mode, with both methods preserving context for the domain-specific handoff.

You select the right specialist agent by evaluating the specific delegation triggers and domain knowledge required, matching the implementation handoff to the appropriate planning, architecture, or backend specialist.
