delegating-with-context
SolidDelegates work to a subagent or spawned session by writing only the task, while a PreToolUse hook pages the parent transcript through Jev and appends the chunks that task needs. Use before writing any Agent tool prompt or create_session prompt, and when asked to delegate this, hand this off, use a subagent, spawn an agent, run agents in parallel, or brief a subagent on what we have done so far.

delegate
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.
subagent-delegation
Split work across subagents so each has a focused context, and combine their results deliberately. Use when a task is too large for one context or has independent parallel parts.
delegation-handoff
Use when handing work to a background agent or subprocess, or when one comes back reporting success. Covers verifying the premise before dispatch, writing a brief the worker can finish inside its budget, and checking the artifact yourself afterward. Prevents acting on a self-reported success, since a worker claiming "uploaded" or "file written" is a claim, not evidence.
