What is 'context rot' in agent delegation?

Context rot occurs when an orchestrator pre-gathers data that becomes outdated or redundant by the time a sub-agent receives it; this skill prevents it by letting sub-agents collect fresh data.

When should I invoke the delegation framework?

You should use it whenever you are preparing to use the Agent tool to assign a task to a specialist sub-agent, especially for investigative or architectural work.

How does this skill improve agent performance?

By defining the 'What' and 'Why' rather than the 'How', it allows specialist agents to use their domain expertise and 200k context windows to find optimal solutions.

What is the primary purpose of the How-to-Delegate skill?

It provides a standardized framework for orchestrator agents to assign tasks to sub-agents effectively, ensuring high-quality context and clear objectives.

Orchestrates autonomous sub-agents using a rigorous 10-step framework that defines success criteria while preserving agent autonomy.

The How-to-Delegate skill provides a comprehensive worksheet for orchestrator agents to manage complex tasks through specialized sub-agents. By following a scientific 10-step protocol, it ensures that delegations include critical observations, 'world-building' context, and measurable success criteria without micromanaging the implementation steps. This approach leverages the large context windows of modern LLMs effectively, preventing context rot and work duplication by allowing specialist agents to gather their own data and choose the best tools for the job.
