SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegation of work across agents often suffers from unclear goals, missing constraints, and ineffective follow-ups, leading to miscommunication and delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines when to delegate, how to craft actionable instruction with Goal, Constraints, Evidence, and Output locations, and how to track outcomes.
  • Provides an async task lifecycle: delegation, status checks, and automatic ledger updates when results arrive.
  • Includes governance patterns for follow-ups, triggers, and multi-agent coordination to prevent task drift or loss.

Quick Start

Delegate a short task to a colleague agent and pair it with a one-time follow-up trigger to verify completion.

Frequently Asked Questions about Delegation Guide

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate async tasks to multiple agents without losing track of progress?▼

Multi-agent delegation requires explicit goals, constraints, evidence, and output locations in instructions, paired with status checks and a ledger to track async task lifecycles and prevent loss.

What is the best way to write instructions for multi-agent delegation?▼

Instruction-writing for multi-agent delegation requires explicitly defining the goal, constraints, evidence, and output location to ensure actionable communication and prevent task drift.

How does async task governance work for background agent workflows?▼

Async task governance uses triggers and follow-up patterns to manage background agent workflows, automatically updating a task ledger when results arrive to ensure completion.

When should I use multi-agent delegation for a software engineering workflow?▼

Multi-agent delegation is ideal for software engineering workflows needing quick consults, background processing, or file and channel communications that require coordinated follow-ups.

Can I set automatic triggers for follow-ups on delegated agent tasks?▼

Yes, you can set one-time follow-up triggers using the set_trigger workflow to automatically verify completion and manage the async task lifecycle across multiple agents.
