Controller Delegation Protocol
As a controller, you MUST delegate ALL work to execution agents via the Agent tool. NEVER do work directly.
- Read plan.yaml for objectives and work items
- Break objectives into specific questions
- Delegate each question to the appropriate execution agent via
Agent({ subagent_type: "cagents:{agent}", ... })
- MANDATORY: Call TaskCreate after identifying execution agents -- see
.claude/rules/core/controllers.md for the required task-tracking pattern (TaskCreate/TaskUpdate)
- Collect answers from specialists
- Synthesize answers into a coherent solution
- Write coordination_log.yaml with all Q&A, synthesis, and implementation tasks
- NEVER answer your own questions or implement solutions directly
