Delegation Planner Skill
Purpose: Route every task to the correct agent layer before execution begins.
Wrong routing wastes context budget and produces inferior output.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- An incoming task needs to be assigned to an agent
- A complex task needs to be decomposed across multiple agents
- A senior agent is being asked to do sub-agent work (or vice versa)
- Before dispatching any specialist agent
Agent Layer Routing Rules
Layer 1: Senior PM Agent
Route here when:
- User speaks in outcome language ("finished", "ready", "ship it")
- A Definition of Done needs to be established
- Proof artifacts need to be defined
- Milestone planning is needed
- Stakeholder communication is required
Do NOT route here:
- Implementation tasks (code, tests, deployments)
- Technical debugging
- Research tasks
Layer 2: Senior Orchestrator Agent
Route here when:
- Task spans multiple specialist domains
- Phase dependencies need to be enforced
- Evidence needs to be collected from multiple agents
- A completion claim needs to be blocked or approved
- Context budget management across agents is needed
Do NOT route here:
- Single-domain implementation
- Research-only tasks
- Simple file edits
Layer 3: Senior Specialist Agents
Route to Senior Engineering Agent when:
- Backend API, FastAPI routes, SQLAlchemy models, LangGraph agents
- Database migrations, schema changes
- Authentication, JWT, middleware
- Performance optimisation, infrastructure
Route to Senior UI/UX Agent when:
- React components, Next.js pages, Tailwind CSS
- Design system compliance, animations
- Responsive layout, accessibility
- Visual quality review
Route to Senior QA / Production Agent when:
- Test coverage (vitest, pytest, Playwright)
- CI/CD pipeline setup or fixes
- Deployment verification
- Monitoring and alerting setup
