Cloud Delegation
Use this skill when the task is large enough to benefit from multiple Codex runs, worktrees, or specialized passes.
Workflow
- Separate blocking work from parallel sidecar work.
- Assign each delegated task a narrow objective and write scope.
- Require the delegated worker to report changed files and validation run.
- Integrate results quickly instead of waiting on every branch.
- Keep final synthesis centralized.
Good delegated tasks
- isolated test authoring
- docs updates after implementation
- codebase reconnaissance on a bounded topic
- verification passes that can run while implementation continues
Avoid
- delegating the immediate critical path
- overlapping write scopes
- vague asks like "analyze everything"
Quality Criteria
Verification (4C)
| Check | Question |
|---|
| Correctness | Are all configurations, permissions, and dependencies accurate? |
| Completeness | Does the setup cover dev, staging, and prod environments as needed? |
| Context-fit | Is the solution proportional to the problem (not over/under-engineered)? |
| Consequence | If deployed as-is to production, what is the highest-risk failure mode? |
Edge Cases
- Target environment has pre-existing configuration — Scan for conflicts before applying changes. Document what to preserve.
- Permissions differ between environments — Test in staging first. Document the minimum permissions required.
- Third-party service is unavailable or deprecated — Document fallback or alternative. Include health-check endpoints.
