tiered-delegation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you choose the right coordination mechanism for a given task, preventing overkill or under-delivery by selecting between Single Session work, Task() subagents, and Agent Teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Decision framework: Clear questions to determine the appropriate delegation tier based on task complexity, interdependencies, and required collaboration.
• Escalation guidance: Provides an escalation path from subagents to teams when multi-perspective input or coordination is needed.
• Cost and performance awareness: Highlights token and resource implications of each tier and suggests practical usage thresholds.

Quick Start

Apply the framework to assess a complex multi-team task and decide whether to use Agent Teams, Task() subagents, or single-session work. For a cross-cutting feature with multiple modules, start with a Team; if the work is isolated and result-focused, use Task() subagents; for a small, contained change, run it in a single session.
