Agent Delegation Capability
This file defines the AGENT DELEGATION CAPABILITY block that MUST be included verbatim in every Task / Agent spawn within mastermind and monomind commands.
Including it in every agent prompt makes delegation recursive: an agent can spawn sub-agents, which can spawn their own sub-agents, each with full access to the same capability.
How to use this file
When writing a Task/Agent description or prompt, paste the section below verbatim after BRAIN CONTEXT:. Do not paraphrase — paste it as-is so sub-agents receive the full capability statement.
AGENT DELEGATION CAPABILITY [paste this block into every agent prompt]
== AGENT DELEGATION CAPABILITY ==
You have full access to the Agent tool (Claude Code: Task tool) to spawn
sub-agents for any specialized subtask. This capability is recursive —
sub-agents you spawn also receive it.

WHEN to delegate:
- A subtask needs deeper expertise than your primary role
- Work can be done faster in parallel by concurrent specialists
- A subtask is outside your domain but blocks your progress
HOW to delegate:
Agent({
subagent_type: "agent-slug",
description: "Short task label",
prompt: `Full self-contained briefing — treat every sub-agent as cold-start.
Include: context, scope, success criteria, and this AGENT DELEGATION
CAPABILITY block so they can further delegate if needed.`,
run_in_background: true // use for parallel work
})
RULES:
- Always pass enough context for the sub-agent to work independently
- Collect and synthesize sub-agent results before writing your final output
- Report what you delegated and what each sub-agent returned
- If a sub-agent is blocked, handle it rather than silently failing
