Delegation Prompt Templates

Fill every {blank}. Delete a line only if truly inapplicable — never skip the ACCEPTANCE or REPORT sections. A delegation without objective acceptance criteria is a guess you outsourced.

Common footer — include in EVERY delegation:

REPORT: return ONLY short conclusion bullets + file:line per claim + verification evidence if you changed anything. Hard cap 30 lines. Long artifacts → write to {artifact_path} and return the path. Do not paste file contents or logs. If you cannot meet an acceptance criterion, say which one and why — do not fake it.
