Excerpt

Delegate Task

HARD GATE — HARD GATE — Delegated work must have clear success criteria and verification commands. The delegate must be able to verify completion independently.

Delegate a single complex task to a subagent with a two-stage review gate before accepting the result. Use when oversight of a single task matters more than speed.

Distinct from dispatch-agents: This skill runs one subagent sequentially with a mandatory review. dispatch-agents runs multiple subagents in parallel without inter-task review gates.
