Task Routing - Agent Delegation

IMPORTANT: For complex tasks, prefer delegating to specialized agents via the Task tool rather than handling inline. Delegated agents run in dedicated context windows with sustained focus, producing higher quality results.

Routing Table

Task Pattern Delegate To Trigger
Research: web search, tech comparison, multi-source reports dev:researcher 3+ sources or comparison needed
Implementation: creating code, new modules, features, building with tests dev:developer Writing new code, adding features, creating modules - even if they relate to existing codebase
Investigation: READ-ONLY codebase analysis, tracing, understanding code-analysis:detective Only when task is to UNDERSTAND code, not to WRITE new code
Debugging: error analysis, root cause investigation dev:debugger Non-obvious bugs or multi-file root cause
Architecture: system design, trade-off analysis dev:architect New systems or major refactors
Agent/plugin quality review agentdev:reviewer Agent description or plugin assessment

Key Distinction

If the task asks to IMPLEMENT/CREATE/BUILD → dev:developer. If the task asks to UNDERSTAND/ANALYZE/TRACE → code-analysis:detective.

When to Use This Skill

Consult this routing table BEFORE making any delegation decision. If the user's task matches any row in the table above, delegate to the specified agent rather than handling the task inline.
