# Delegation

> This skill configures automatic task delegation between agents in Synapse A2A. Use /delegate to set up rules for routing coding tasks to Codex, research to Gemini, etc. Supports orchestrator mode (Claude coordinates) and passthrough mode (direct forwarding). Includes agent status verification, priority levels, error handling, and File Safety integration.

# Delegation Skill

Configure automatic task delegation to other agents based on natural language rules.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/delegate` | Show current settings or start interactive setup |
| `/delegate orchestrator` | Set orchestrator mode (Claude coordinates) |
| `/delegate passthrough` | Set passthrough mode (direct forwarding) |
| `/delegate off` | Disable delegation |
| `/delegate status` | Show current configuration and agent status |

## Modes

### Orchestrator Mode (Recommended)

Claude analyzes tasks, delegates to appropriate agent, waits for response, integrates results.

```text
User → Claude (analyze) → @codex/@gemini → Claude (integrate) → User
```

### Passthrough Mode

Direct forwarding without processing.

```text
User → Claude (route) → @codex/@gemini → User
```

### Manual Mode (Default)

No automatic delegation. User explicitly uses @agent patterns.

## Pre-Delegation Checklist

Before delegating any task:

1. **Verify agent is READY**: `synapse list`
2. **Check file locks**: `synapse file-safety locks` (for file edits)
3. **Verify branch**: `git branch --show-current` (for coding tasks)

## Priority Levels

| Priority | Use Case |
|----------|----------|
| 1-2 | Low priority, background tasks |
| 3 | Normal tasks (default) |
| 4 | Urgent follow-ups |
| 5 | Critical/emergency tasks |

## Available Agents

| Agent | Strengths | Port Range |
|-------|-----------|------------|
| codex | Coding, file editing, refactoring | 8120-8129 |
| gemini | Research, web search, documentation | 8110-8119 |
| claude | Code review, analysis, planning | 8100-8109 |
