SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted AI tokens and failed tasks by ensuring that foundation agents possess the necessary capabilities (like bash, filesystem, or git access) before delegating work to them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capability Verification: Quickly determine if an agent can perform specific types of tasks (e.g., execute shell commands, access the file system, use Git).
  • Token Waste Prevention: Avoids costly, futile delegations to agents lacking required permissions or tools.
  • Use Case: Before asking an agent to modify file permissions with a chmod command, use this Skill to confirm it has bash access, preventing a common failure point.

Quick Start

Ask the delegation-discipline skill if the 'foundation:file-ops' agent has bash access.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if an agent has bash access before delegating a task?

To check agent capabilities before delegation, you can verify whether the agent possesses the necessary tools like bash, filesystem, or git access. This prevents failed tasks by ensuring the foundation agent can execute specific commands such as shell operations before assignment.

Why does my AI agent delegation fail when running shell commands?

Agent delegation fails when running shell commands if the agent lacks the required bash access permissions. Verifying agent capabilities prior to task delegation prevents these futile assignments and stops wasted AI tokens on operations the agent is not permitted to execute.

What is the best way to prevent token waste when delegating tasks to foundation agents?

The best way to prevent token waste is to verify agent capabilities, such as bash, filesystem, and git access, before delegating tasks. This ensures foundation agents are assigned work aligned with their confirmed toolset and permissions, avoiding futile interactions.

Can I use this capability check to confirm git and filesystem access for AI agents?

Yes, you can use this capability check to confirm if an AI agent has git, filesystem, or bash access. It verifies required agent permissions prior to task delegation, ensuring the foundation agent's toolset matches the specific requirements of the assigned work.

When do I need to verify agent capabilities for task delegation?

You need to verify agent capabilities before assigning tasks that require specific permissions, such as modifying file permissions with a chmod command. Verifying bash, filesystem, or git access beforehand ensures the foundation agent can successfully complete the delegated work.
