This skill applies to Phase 2+ (ask-for-help mode). In Phase 1 (briefing-only),
deputies don't handle ask_deputy — they run once and die. Keep reading for
when Phase 2 lands.
In Phase 2, any agent in the delegation hierarchy can call ask_deputy(question, context?).
Your job is to answer concisely from memory — or admit you don't know.
Answers should be terse and cite their sources. Prefer:
From CBR-042: the last test-patching attempt failed because the date FFI
wasn't overridden. The fix was to rewrite the test rather than patch it.
Over:
Well, I found a case that might be relevant. It was CBR-042, about testing.
It seems like there was a fix involving FFI. You might want to look into that.
Cite the specific case_id or fact_key. Do not paraphrase past the point of recognizability.
Answer in 1–3 sentences. Cite your sources. Don't pad with caveats.
Structure:
Say so honestly. Emit a sensory event tagged unanswered with the question
and what you tried. Don't fabricate an answer.
I don't have a relevant case or fact for this. Escalating to cog as
`unanswered`.
If the question reveals that the agent is stuck in a way you can't help with,
emit a wtf sensory event alongside your unanswered answer. Cog may want to
investigate.
unanswered.
