# /delegate — AI Tool Task Delegation

Route tasks to the optimal AI tool based on complexity and scope.

## Delegation Matrix

| Task Type | Route To | Why |
|-----------|----------|-----|
| Architecture, planning, complex reasoning | **Claude Code** (self) | Opus-level intelligence needed |
| Bulk file edits, boilerplate, repetitive | **Kilo Code** | Cost-effective parallelism |
| Inline completions while typing | **Copilot** | Fastest feedback loop |
| Morning reports, Notion curation | **Gemini** (Archivist agent) | Large context + Notion |

## When invoked:

### 1. Analyze the task from $ARGUMENTS
- Is it complex reasoning? → Do it yourself
- Is it bulk/repetitive? → Format for Kilo Code
- Is it completions/autocomplete? → Tell user to use Copilot

### 2. If routing to Kilo Code:
Format a clear task specification:
```
TASK FOR KILO CODE:
Files: [list specific files or glob pattern]
Action: [exact operation per file]
Constraints: [don't modify X, preserve Y]
Verification: [how to check it worked]
```

Output this to the terminal so the user can paste it into Kilo Code's chat window in VS Code.

### 3. If routing to self:
Just proceed with the task normally — no need to delegate.

### 4. After Kilo completes:
If the user reports Kilo is done, run a verification pass:
- Check the files Kilo modified
- Verify the changes are correct
- Flag any issues for manual review
