Intelligent Delegation
Analysis
This delegation framework is mostly coherent, but its scoring tool appears to underrate irreversible tasks while recommending autonomy, so users should review it before relying on it.
Findings (5)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Checks for instructions or behavior that redirect the agent, misuse tools, execute unexpected code, cascade across systems, exploit user trust, or continue outside the intended task.
"reversibility": "Can effects be undone? (1=fully reversible, 5=irreversible)" ... risk = (scores["criticality"] + (6 - scores["reversibility"]) + scores["subjectivity"]) / 3
The tool defines higher reversibility scores as more irreversible, but the autonomy/risk formula subtracts that score from 6, making irreversible tasks contribute less risk.
For every background task, schedule a one-shot cron job to check on completion
The skill explicitly recommends a persistence mechanism that can wake the agent later to check background work.
When a task fails, don't just report failure — attempt automatic recovery.
The fallback design intentionally retries, reroutes, or switches methods after failure, which can propagate a bad task or bad assumptions if not bounded.
Checks for exposed credentials, poisoned memory or context, unclear communication boundaries, or sensitive data that could leave the user's control.
Create `memory/agent-performance.md` to track: Success rate per agent ... Known failure modes ... "Best for" / "Avoid for" heuristics
The skill stores persistent performance notes and directs the agent to consult them before future delegations.
- **Delegatee:** agent tier/name ... - **Input:** What the agent receives ... - **Data sensitivity:** Privacy requirements
The framework is designed around sending tasks and inputs to other agents, including fields for data sensitivity and delegation scope.
