SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegation of work across agents often suffers from unclear goals, missing constraints, and ineffective follow-ups, leading to miscommunication and delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines when to delegate, how to craft actionable instruction with Goal, Constraints, Evidence, and Output locations, and how to track outcomes.
  • Provides an async task lifecycle: delegation, status checks, and automatic ledger updates when results arrive.
  • Includes governance patterns for follow-ups, triggers, and multi-agent coordination to prevent task drift or loss.

Quick Start

Delegate a short task to a colleague agent and pair it with a one-time follow-up trigger to verify completion.

Frequently Asked Questions about Delegation Guide

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate async tasks to multiple agents without losing track of progress?

Multi-agent delegation requires explicit goals, constraints, evidence, and output locations in instructions, paired with status checks and a ledger to track async task lifecycles and prevent loss.

What is the best way to write instructions for multi-agent delegation?

Instruction-writing for multi-agent delegation requires explicitly defining the goal, constraints, evidence, and output location to ensure actionable communication and prevent task drift.

How does async task governance work for background agent workflows?

Async task governance uses triggers and follow-up patterns to manage background agent workflows, automatically updating a task ledger when results arrive to ensure completion.

When should I use multi-agent delegation for a software engineering workflow?

Multi-agent delegation is ideal for software engineering workflows needing quick consults, background processing, or file and channel communications that require coordinated follow-ups.

Can I set automatic triggers for follow-ups on delegated agent tasks?

Yes, you can set one-time follow-up triggers using the set_trigger workflow to automatically verify completion and manage the async task lifecycle across multiple agents.
