delegation-principle

What problem does it solve?

Prevents the main agent from performing implementation work directly and enforces a coordination-only role so changes are made by specialized subagents with clear responsibilities and traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Coordinator-only workflow: The agent parses intent, reads state, and issues Tasks rather than editing files or running commands.
• Delegation enforcement: Requires use of the Task tool with appropriate subagent_type and full context to ensure subagents perform implementation, research, or design.
• Auditability and safety: Keeps a clean separation of responsibilities so every change traces to a Task and subagent, supporting review and guardrails.
• Use Case: In CURDX pipelines, use this Skill when converting user requests into actionable Tasks for product-manager, architect-reviewer, task-planner, or spec-executor subagents.

Quick Start

Delegate the implementation by creating a Task for a spec-executor subagent that includes the full state context and wait for the subagent to complete before reporting results.
