Alfred Delegate

Delegate tasks to other agents via their inbox folders.

Available Agents

Phase 1: Parse Request

Extract from Master's request:

1. Target agent — Which agent should handle this?
2. Task — What needs to be done?
3. Context — Any relevant background, links, files
4. Priority — high | medium | low (default: medium)
5. Expected output — Where should results go? What format?

If any of these are unclear, ask Master for clarification.

Phase 2: Create Inbox Request

Generate a request document and write it to the target agent's inbox:

{agent-path}/inbox/YYYY-MM-DD-HHmm-{brief-description}.md

Use local time for the timestamp.

Request Document Format

# Request: [Brief title]

From: alfred
Date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
Priority: [high|medium|low]

## Task
[Clear description of what needs to be done]

## Context
[Relevant background, references, links, constraints]

## Expected Output
[Where to write output, what format is expected]

## Notes
[Any additional information that might help]

Phase 3: Track Delegation

Update /Users/tiwen/Code/agent-alfred/context/DELEGATIONS.md:

| Date | Agent | Task | Status | Notes |
|------|-------|------|--------|-------|
| YYYY-MM-DD | agent-cmo | [brief task] | pending | inbox/file.md |

If DELEGATIONS.md doesn't exist, create it with the header.

Phase 4: Confirm

Tell Master:

"Delegated to {agent}: {brief task}. Request written to {inbox-path}."

Optionally ask:

"Want me to spawn {agent} to process it now?"

If yes, inform Master how to invoke the target agent (e.g., cd /Users/tiwen/Code/agent-cmo && claude "/cmo-process-inbox").

Example
