SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegated audits are essential for structured, auditable recursion but require clear handoffs, guardrails, and fallback paths when subagents are unavailable. This skill defines when and how to engage analyst, planner, code-reviewer, memory-auditor, tester, and implementer roles while preserving overall ownership and audit rigor.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prioritizes bounded delegation for audit, review, and bounded implementation within a single active recursive phase.
  • Enforces a mandatory self-audit fallback and explicit handoff contracts to maintain accountability if subagents cannot complete the task.
  • Integrates with routing when available (recursive-router) and provides clear guidance on policy checks before dispatch.

Quick Start

Determine whether delegated subagents should handle the current audit phase and initiate the handoff protocol if approved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate code reviews to subagents in a recursive workflow?

Delegated code reviews use subagents to handle bounded implementation and review tasks. The skill orchestrates analyst, planner, code-reviewer, tester, and implementer roles while enforcing a strict handoff contract to maintain accountability.

What happens to delegated audits when subagents are unavailable?

When subagents are unavailable, the system executes a self-audit fallback. It enforces explicit recovery steps locally to preserve overall ownership and audit rigor without proceeding with delegation.

How do recursive routing policies affect audit delegation?

Recursive routing policies determine if delegation is approved before dispatch. The skill respects routing when enabled by recursive-router and enforces policy checks before engaging subagents for the current audit phase.

When should I use a memory auditor for recursive self-audits?

A memory auditor should be used when structured recursion requires clear handoffs and guardrails. It defines how to engage specific roles during bounded delegation while preserving ownership within a single active recursive phase.

Can I perform bounded implementation within a single recursive phase?

Yes, bounded implementation is supported within a single active recursive phase. The skill prioritizes bounded delegation for audit, review, and implementation tasks while enforcing a mandatory self-audit fallback.
