Delegation Core Framework

Overview

A method for deciding when and how to delegate tasks to external LLM services. The core principle: delegate execution, retain high-level reasoning.

When to Use

  • Before invoking any external LLM for task assistance.
  • When operations are token-heavy and exceed local context limits.
  • When batch processing benefits from different model characteristics.
  • When tasks require routing between models.

Philosophy

Delegate execution, retain reasoning:

  • Claude handles: Architecture, strategy, design, and review.
  • External LLMs perform: Data processing, pattern extraction, bulk operations, summarization.

Delegation Flow

  1. Task Assessment: Classify task by complexity and context size.
  2. Suitability Evaluation: Check prerequisites and service fit.
  3. Handoff Planning: Formulate request and document plan.
  4. Execution & Integration: Run delegation, validate, and integrate results.

Quick Decision Matrix

Complexity Context Recommendation
High Any Keep local
Low Large Delegate
Low Small Either

High Complexity: Architecture, design decisions, trade-offs, creative problem solving.

Low Complexity: Pattern counting, bulk extraction, boilerplate generation, summarization.

Detailed Workflow Steps

1. Task Assessment (delegation-core:task-assessed)

Classify your task:

  • See modules/task-assessment.md for classification criteria.
  • Use token estimates to determine thresholds.
  • Apply the decision matrix.

Exit Criteria: Task classified with complexity level, context size, and delegation recommendation.

2. Suitability Evaluation (delegation-core:delegation-suitability)

Verify prerequisites:

  • See modules/handoff-patterns.md for checklist.
  • Evaluate cost-benefit ratio using modules/cost-estimation.md.
  • Check for red flags (security, real-time iteration).

Exit Criteria: Service authenticated, quotas verified, cost justified.

3. Handoff Planning (delegation-core:handoff-planned)

Create a delegation plan:

  • See modules/handoff-patterns.md for request template.
  • Document service, command, input context, expected output.
  • Define validation method.

Exit Criteria: Delegation plan documented.

4. Execution & Integration (delegation-core:results-integrated)

Execute and validate results:

  • Run delegation and capture output.
  • Validate format and correctness.
  • Integrate only after validation passes.
  • Log usage.

Exit Criteria: Results validated and integrated, usage logged.

Leyline Infrastructure

Conjure uses leyline for shared infrastructure:

Leyline Skill Used For
quota-management Track service quotas and thresholds.
usage-logging Session-aware audit trails.
service-registry Unified service configuration.
error-patterns Consistent error handling.
authentication-patterns Auth verification.

See modules/cost-estimation.md for leyline integration examples.
