What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the inefficiency and errors caused by the orchestrator Hermes attempting to handle implementation tasks directly, which it is not specialized for, by enabling structured delegation to expert Daimons tailored to specific task types.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Task Decomposition: Breaks complex work into atomic, clearly defined task units with assigned Daimons, context, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
- Specialist Daimon Routing: Automatically routes tasks to the correct expert (e.g., Hefesto for code implementation, Athena for security review, Etalides for research) based on task type.
- Pitfall Mitigation: Includes explicit guardrails to avoid common delegation failures like over-investigation by Hefesto, unclosed sessions, and unreliable status reporting.
- Use Case: When building a new feature, you can delegate code implementation to Hefesto, security auditing to Athena, and backend architecture to Ictinus, with Hermes coordinating all steps and reporting consolidated results without manual intervention for each subtask.
Quick Start
Use the task-delegation skill to delegate the implementation of the new user profile API endpoint to Hefesto, with requirements for REST compliance and 90% unit test coverage.
