Delegation brief that hands off a task without losing context
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.
