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.
