send-to-minionlisted

Use this skill only when the user explicitly invokes $send-to-minion, /send-to-minion, or explicitly asks to delegate a prompt to one minion, helper, worker, child agent, spawned agent, subagent, Claude Code agent, or other single delegated agent. It sends the user's prompt to exactly one subagent using the current runtime's delegation tools, coordinates follow-up with the runtime's messaging/resume tools, verifies the result, and returns the parent agent's final answer.

# Send to Minion Delegate the user's prompt to exactly one helper agent, called the minion, then supervise it until completion. Treat explicit invocation of `$send-to-minion` or `/send-to-minion` as explicit user permission to spawn one subagent. Do not use this skill implicitly for ordinary requests that merely need research, depth, or careful execution. ## Contract - Spawn exactly one subagent for the user's task. - Do not spawn multiple agents, use CSV fan-out, or ask the minion to spawn nested agents. - Keep the parent agent responsible for orchestration, verification, cleanup, and the final user response. - Let the minion do the substantive delegated work. - Preserve the user's original goal, constraints, language, and requested output format. - Close the minion after completion, failure, or cancellation unless the runtime has already closed it. - Do not silently downgrade to parent-only execution. If no subagent mechanism is available, say so. ## Runtime Selection Use the native subagent mechanism for the current runtime. Do not mix runtimes in one invocation. Prefer this order: 1. Codex multi-agent tools when `spawn_agent` is available. 2. Claude Code subagents when the `Agent` tool is available. 3. A legacy/adapted subagent runner such as `Task` only when neither of the above names is exposed but the runtime clearly documents it as the subagent tool. If no subagent mechanism exists, follow Failure Handling. ## Codex Tool Setup Use Codex multi-agent tools wh
