What problem does it solve? Long research or engineering work units sometimes contain a few independent subtasks that could run in parallel, but delegating them without structure risks overlapping file ownership, unverified results, and lost accountability. This Skill turns one bounded delegation into an auditable plan with explicit approval, disjoint path ownership, and parent-owned integration. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bounded delegation planning: Declares a maximum of three child tasks in a ds-lite.delegation.v1 JSON artifact, each with objective, input refs, allowed paths, validation commands, resource limits, and stop conditions. - Approval gate: Blocks all execution until explicit user or OpenScience approval is recorded, and forbids nested delegation, schedulers, daemons, and automatic retries. - Verified integration: Requires each child to return its declared result ref, re-validates the delegation sidecar, runs declared validation commands, and lets only the parent integration owner accept changes. - Use Case: A research project needs a baseline reproduction, a data audit, and a figure regeneration done concurrently. Use this Skill to draft the delegation plan, wait for approval, dispatch the three tasks with disjoint paths, then integrate and validate their results. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use ds-lite-coordinate to plan a bounded delegation for your independent subtasks and wait for approval before launching anything.
