SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders often stay on the critical path because handing off work is unstructured: unclear authority, vague expectations, and no feedback plan. This Skill turns "someone else should own this" into a complete, executable delegation with the right authority level and a written brief. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Authority Level Selection: Assigns a per-task authority level (A–D) using a risk-by-competence matrix, so autonomy matches proven capability. - Instruction Type Matching: Pairs each delegation with the right instruction type (order, request, or suggestion) based on the person's experience. - Delegation Brief Generation: Produces responsibilities, definition of done, decision rights, reporting cadence, feedback plan, and a ladder-progression signal. - Use Case: A founder doing weekly customer status reports asks to hand them off to Maya, who has done them well for two months. The Skill assigns Level D authority, drafts the brief, and stages the authority update for founder approval. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan a delegation for a specific task and team member, describing the task's importance and how proven the person is on that type of work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate a task to an employee effectively?▼

Effective delegation sets five elements before work starts: specific responsibilities, expected results, reporting expectations, a level of authority, and a feedback plan. This Skill builds that brief and matches the authority level to the person's proven competence and the task's risk.

What authority level should I give when delegating?▼

Authority depends on two variables: task risk or novelty, and the person's demonstrated competence on that task type. High-risk or brand-new tasks get Level A or B, while proven performers on routine tasks get Level D with status-report-only oversight.

When should I use orders versus requests versus suggestions?▼

Orders pair with Level A for urgent tasks where the person already knows how. Requests suit everyday delegation at Levels B and C and develop the team. Suggestions fit self-directed people at Level D, but never use them with new or inexperienced people.

When should I not use a delegation planner?▼

Do not use it when no competent person exists to receive the task, since that requires hiring instead. It also does not handle changes to title, employment status, or compensation, which require founder and HR or legal review.

Can delegation include decision rights over money or contracts?▼

Decision rights over money movement, contracts, or legal commitments are capped by the system's always-approve list. The person's delegated authority cannot exceed what the control plane allows without founder sign-off.
