delegate-task

To delegate tasks between agents asynchronously, you assign a task to another agent via a centralized inbox queue, allowing sender/recipient selection, task details, priority, and context without blocking active sessions.

Coordinating inter-agent work without blocking sessions is best achieved by using an asynchronous inbox queue to delegate tasks, allowing agents to process assignments on their next heartbeat tick.

An async inbox queue handles task delegation by validating inputs against a message schema, enforcing non-self-delegation, and attaching priority and context metadata to ensure full traceability for the recipient agent.

No, an agent cannot delegate a task to itself using the inbox queue, as the system enforces non-self-delegation rules to prevent circular dependencies and ensure proper inter-agent collaboration.

No, you do not need to write inbox files directly to assign cross-agent tasks, because the delegation process validates inputs against the inbox schema and executes the task automatically through the internal skill module.

You should use asynchronous task delegation for your workflow when multiple agents need to collaborate on cross-agent work in aweek, allowing tasks to be queued and processed on the recipient's next available heartbeat tick.
