SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a repeatable, safety-conscious protocol for coordinating and delegating work to specialist sub-agents so complex, multi-step engineering tasks are broken into clear, verifiable units of work and avoid context gaps that cause failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Invocation Template & Requirements: Enforces four mandatory prompt components (complete context, explicit instructions, context references, performance directives) to ensure every sub-agent receives what it needs to act effectively.
  • Routing & Auto-Invocation: Decides between direct delegation, blueprint planning, single-agent implementation, or multi-agent team implementations and supports auto-invoking blueprint → impl or team-impl flows when tasks meet complexity thresholds.
  • Coordination Patterns & Validation: Provides monitoring, background task patterns, parallel vs serial dispatch rules, resume semantics, and specialist + quality-engineer validation workflows for high-reliability deployments.
  • Use Case: Break a cross-domain feature into a blueprint, spawn domain specialists in parallel, and run a quality-engineer validation pass before merge.

Quick Start

Load the sub-agent-invocation skill, assemble a comprehensive blueprint with full context and acceptance criteria, then request "blueprint" followed by user approval to run "impl" or "team-impl" for execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate sub-agents for complex multi-step engineering workflows?

Orchestrate sub-agents by delegating tasks to specialized agents using enforced invocation templates with complete context, explicit instructions, context references, and performance directives. This ensures complex cross-domain features are broken into clear, verifiable units of work.

What is the best way to delegate cross-domain feature work to multiple agents in parallel?

Delegate cross-domain feature work by auto-invoking a blueprint planning flow, then spawning domain specialists in parallel. You assemble a comprehensive blueprint with full context and acceptance criteria, followed by user approval to run team-impl execution.

How does sub-agent validation work for high-reliability deployments?

Sub-agent validation applies monitoring and quality-engineer validation workflows to verify delegated work. It enforces coordination patterns including background task monitoring, parallel versus serial dispatch rules, and resume semantics to ensure high-reliability deployments before merge.

When do I need blueprint planning for multi-file feature development?

Blueprint planning is needed when multi-file feature work meets complexity thresholds requiring structured delegation. The routing mechanism decides between direct delegation, single-agent implementation, or multi-agent team implementations based on the task's complexity and validation requirements.

Can I use sub-agent invocation for serial and parallel task dispatch?

Sub-agent invocation supports both parallel and serial dispatch rules for task coordination. You can route work to specialist sub-agents using background task patterns, monitoring semantics, and resume capabilities to manage complex engineering workflows safely.

Why do sub-agents fail to complete delegated engineering tasks correctly?

Sub-agents fail when invocation prompts lack complete context, explicit instructions, context references, or performance directives. Enforcing these four mandatory prompt components ensures every specialist sub-agent receives the necessary information to act effectively.
