context-aware-delegation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common challenge of spawned agents not inheriting the parent agent's context, leading to incomplete information and failed tasks. It provides clear guidelines on how to properly pass necessary context to subagents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Context Isolation Explained: Clearly illustrates that spawned agents start with an empty context and do not share conversation history.
• L3 Minimal Context Pattern: Defines a prompt template for efficient context transfer, enabling agents to perform tasks with minimal explicit information.
• Prompting Best Practices: Offers detailed guidance on what to include and what to avoid in prompts for spawned agents, including anti-patterns.
• Use Case: When orchestrating a multi-agent workflow to debug an issue, this Skill ensures that each subagent receives precisely the information it needs (e.g., relevant code snippets, error messages, previous decisions) without being overwhelmed or missing critical details.

Quick Start

Use the context-aware-delegation skill to understand how to pass context to spawned agents by providing them with the mission, relevant files, and key parameters.
