delegation-brief
Delegate so the work comes back right the first time — the brief that transfers outcome, context, and constraints (not just the task), the autonomy level stated explicitly, and the check-in design that catches drift without hovering. Use when asked hand this off properly, my delegations come back wrong, write a brief for this task I'm giving away, or how much detail do I give. Produces the delegation brief with the outcome and guardrails, the autonomy level, the check-in points, and the questions-welcome contract.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Delegation Brief Skill Delegation fails at the handoff, not the execution: the task transferred without its *outcome* ("send me a draft" — of what, for whom, to achieve what?), without its constraints (discovered as rejections later), without the autonomy level (so the delegate either hovers back with every micro-decision or runs confidently off the map). The brief fixes the transfer: the outcome with its done-test, the context that makes judgment possible (why this matters, who it's for), the guardrails (the true constraints, and *only* the true ones), the stated autonomy level, and check-ins placed where drift is cheapest to catch — at the first artifact, not the final one. ## What This Skill Produces - **The brief** — outcome + done-test, context, guardrails, resources, the deadline with its real/soft nature stated - **The autonomy level, explicit** — decide-and-do / decide-then-tell / propose-then-decide-together — per decision type - **The check-in design** — the early-artifact review that catches drift at 10% cost, and the drop-in-anytime contract - **The receiving-side test** — the brief read back: can the delegate state the outcome and the first step?

What does the delegation-brief skill do?
Delegate so the work comes back right the first time — the brief that transfers outcome, context, and constraints (not just the task), the autonomy level stated explicitly, and the check-in design that catches drift without hovering. Use when asked hand this off properly, my delegations come back wrong, write a brief for this task I'm giving away, or how much detail do I give. Produces the delegation brief with the outcome and guardrails, the autonomy level, the check-in points, and the questions-welcome contract.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill delegation-brief --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
