Snapshots the full current context — open file, conversation history, project memory files, decisions made, and what's left — then hands the task off to a specialized subagent (preferred) or general-purpose subagent (fallback) that drives to completion autonomously. Use when you need to offload work without losing context, when a task spans files or domains that don't fit a focused specialist, or when you want a subagent to own a task end-to-end while you stay free to work on other things. Also useful for keeping the main context window clean during long multi-step sessions. The subagent receives a structured briefing and works independently — no further prompting required. Check Agency catalog for named specialists first.

# delegate Delegates the current task to a `general-purpose` subagent with enough context to complete it independently. Unlike a focused specialist, this subagent has full tool access and drives the task to completion — no further prompting needed. ## When to Use - You want a subagent to own a task end-to-end - You need to offload work without losing context - A focused skill agent isn't the right tool shape — the task spans files, tools, or domains ## Workflow ### Step 1 — Detect the Task File The user has a file open in the IDE. Read it first — it's the anchor for context. **Read the file from `ide_opened_file`** (already provided in the prompt as a system-reminder). Extract: - The file path - Any relevant content (look for task descriptions, TODOs, comments about what needs doing) ### Step 2 — Find Project Memory Determine the project directory. Common patterns: - `~/.claude/agents/{slug}/` — Agent/PD project - Current working directory or parent `CLAUDE.md` Read the following files if they exist (in order of priority): ``` memory/next-session.md ← session-start briefing, carries forward context memory/decisions.md ← decisions made so far memory/heartbeat.md ← recent status / what's been worked on memory/state.md ← machine-readable state snapshot memory/TODOS.md ← outstanding tasks CLAUDE.md ← project-level instructions and constraints PROJECT.md ← project overview and goals ``` ### Step 3
