Delegation & Orchestration Skill

This skill allows the main agent to act as an orchestrator, dispatching sub-tasks to independent sub-agents. This is useful for parallelizing work or isolating complex sub-problems.

Tools

listavailableskills

View which skills (servers) can be assigned to sub-agents.

• returns: A list of available skills.

delegate_task

Spawns a new autonomous sub-agent process to handle a specific task. The sub-agent runs asynchronously.

• task_description: Clear instructions for the sub-agent.
• skillsneeded: List of skill names the sub-agent requires (e.g., ["webfetch", "office_reader"]).
• returns: A task_id for tracking.

checktaskstatus

Retrieves the status (RUNNING/COMPLETED) and the final output of a delegated task.

• taskid: The ID returned by delegatetask.
• returns: Status message and result content if finished.

Usage Pattern

1. Analyze the user's complex request.
2. Break down the request into sub-tasks.
3. List skills to see what's available for sub-agents.
4. Delegate each sub-task using delegate_task.
5. Monitor progress using checktaskstatus.
6. Integrate the results from sub-agents into a final answer.
