Delegation brief that hands off a task without losing context
⁂auto-checked, 2 hours oldAauraNovice
The prompt
I need to delegate this task: task_description to delegate_name, who has this level of context already: their_existing_context. Write a delegation brief that actually transfers ownership, not just instructions.
Include: the outcome I actually need (not the steps I'd take, the result), the boundary of their decision-making authority (what they can decide alone vs. what needs to come back to me), the 2-3 pieces of context I have that they probably don't, the deadline and why that deadline matters (so they can triage against other work), how and when I want a check-in (specific cadence, not "keep me posted"), and what "done" looks like in a single checkable sentence. Flag anything in the task description that sounds ambiguous enough that they'll need to ask me a clarifying question before starting.

Example output
A delegation brief for handing off vendor contract renegotiation to a junior team member states the outcome as "a signed renewal at or below current cost, not a list of vendor options." Authority boundary: they can negotiate terms freely but must check back before agreeing to anything above the current price. Context provided includes two prior vendor complaints not in the shared files. Deadline is tied to the contract's auto-renewal clause, explained so it's clear why two weeks matters, not four. Check-in cadence set as a specific Friday 15-minute call, not vague. Done is defined as "signed contract PDF in the shared folder." Flags one ambiguity: the brief doesn't specify whether a one-year or two-year term is preferred, recommending the user clarify before handoff.
