Multi-Agent Task Delegation FAQs

Question 1

How does the skill handle task priorities?

Accepted Answer

You can assign priority levels from 1 to 5. Level 3 is the default, while levels 4 and 5 are reserved for urgent follow-ups and critical emergency tasks.

Question 2

What is the difference between Orchestrator and Passthrough mode?

Accepted Answer

Orchestrator mode allows Claude to analyze the task, delegate it, and integrate the results, while Passthrough mode directly forwards the task to the target agent for immediate execution.

Question 3

Can I manually delegate tasks to specific agents?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the @agent syntax (e.g., @codex) in your natural language prompts or use the 'synapse send' command for programmatic delegation.

Question 4

What happens if a task doesn't match any delegation rules?

Accepted Answer

The skill uses a fallback configuration where you can set the action to 'manual' (user handles it), 'ask' (prompt for direction), or route it to a 'default_agent'.

Question 5

How do I define which agent handles a specific task?

Accepted Answer

Rules are defined in the .synapse/delegate.md file using YAML frontmatter, where you specify keywords and file patterns to match tasks to specific agents like Codex or Gemini.
