What problem does it solve?
The Delegation skill solves the problem of efficiently managing parallel work across various agent patterns and workloads, optimizing agent orchestration to prevent overcoordination and ensure efficient resource utilization.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parallel Work Management: Parallelizes work across six patterns: built-in agents, isolated agents, background agents, custom inline agents, agent teams, and parallel task dispatch.
- Effort-Level Scaling: Adjusts delegation to match task complexity, from lightweight one-shot workers to full agents iterating with tools.
- Ideal-State Prompts: Uses ideal-state prompting for inline briefs and subagents to encourage diverse perspectives and effective outcomes.
- Decision Rules: Provides clear rules for lightweight vs full delegation and when to use teams vs subagents, based on communication, context, coordination, duration, and overhead.
Quick Start
Use the Delegation skill to create an agent team for a complex project by executing 'TeamCreate' to spawn teammates, then coordinate tasks using 'SendMessage'.
