What problem does it solve? Delegating coding work to sub-agents often produces duplicated effort, conflicting decisions, unreviewed code, and runaway token costs. This Skill imposes a disciplined six-phase orchestration process so multi-agent work stays controlled, verified, and cost-aware. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Delegation Gate: Decides upfront whether to do the work directly, dispatch one sub-agent, or enter full orchestrator mode where the main agent never writes code. - Approved Work Plans: Requires an explicit user-approved plan with decomposition, agent assignment, quality loops, abort criteria, and a confirmed storage location before any dispatch. - Delegation Contracts & Status Protocol: Ships templates for implementer, reviewer, and explorer sub-agents with a mandatory DONE / DONE_WITH_CONCERNS / BLOCKED / NEEDS_CONTEXT status contract plus report files. - Quality Loops: Enforces independent code review after every implementation, conditional security review, and a maximum of three fix iterations before escalation. - Use Case: When asked to add OAuth login with Google and GitHub providers, the Skill decomposes the work into a shared config task, two parallel-safe provider adapters, and a UI integration task, each dispatched with a contract and independently reviewed. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to implement a multi-file feature using the using-subagents skill and approve the work plan it presents before dispatching.
