Delegate work

Choose a responsibility with an observable result, such as keeping onboarding instructions accurate or maintaining a particular service.

Define the responsibility

Tell the CoAgent:

• What it is responsible for and why.
• Which existing repositories, conversations or other material it may use for context.
• What it may change independently.
• Which decisions require approval.
• How it should verify and report completed work.

Ask the CoAgent to preserve the responsibility, decisions and reasons in Cortex, with the access and review preference you choose. It can find or create the relevant Modules and maintain their dependencies. You do not need to write them first. The knowledge-maintenance guide explains how normal work keeps that knowledge current.

Begin with a bounded assignment

For example:

Maintain the onboarding guide in this module. Start by checking it against the current setup flow and propose corrections in this issue. Ask before changing pricing or access-policy guidance. Include what you verified and anything you could not check.

Grant the resources needed for that assignment, then expand responsibility as you see reliable results.

Establish a work channel

Use Cortex issues to track work through completion. Use Channels for discussion and decisions. Tell the CoAgent where to report progress and blockers.

For periodic duties, explicitly arrange recurring work; describing a responsibility alone does not create a schedule.

Evaluate the delegation

Review the output, verification, and time you spent intervening. Use the result and the review effort to decide whether to expand the responsibility.
