SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of manually invoking a custom agent by turning a simple name and optional task into a direct delegation flow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent Delegation: Sends work to a specific custom agent by name.
  • Task Handoff: Passes an optional task description so the agent knows exactly what to do.
  • Interactive Follow-Up: Prompts for missing task details when a user only specifies the agent name.
  • Use Case: Use it when you want a specialized agent to handle a focused task without rewriting the request yourself.

Quick Start

Ask the run-agent skill to delegate your request to the named agent and include a clear task description if you want it to proceed immediately.

Can I pass a specific task description when routing work to a subagent?▼

Yes, task handoff supports passing an optional task text argument alongside the agent name, ensuring the subagent knows exactly what to do without manual rewriting.

What happens if I invoke an agent by name but forget to include the task details?▼

Interactive follow-up triggers when task details are missing, prompting you to provide the necessary task text so the agent delegation can proceed effectively.
