Guide Mentat's delegation decisions to specialist agents. Use when routing tasks to sub-agents (Kokoro, Pixel, Aurora, Flux, Hermes, Centinela, Lumen) based on Linear sub-issues with [Agent] title prefix.
npx claudepluginhub skywalking-dev/hiveThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Route tasks to specialist agents via Linear sub-issues.
Creates isolated Git worktrees for feature branches with prioritized directory selection, gitignore safety checks, auto project setup for Node/Python/Rust/Go, and baseline verification.
Executes implementation plans in current session by dispatching fresh subagents per independent task, with two-stage reviews: spec compliance then code quality.
Dispatches parallel agents to independently tackle 2+ tasks like separate test failures or subsystems without shared state or dependencies.
Route tasks to specialist agents via Linear sub-issues.
Title format: [{AGENT}] {task description}
The agent name in brackets is the delegation signal. When Mentat sees a sub-issue with [Kokoro] prefix, delegate to Kokoro sub-agent.
Do NOT assign sub-issues to anyone in Linear. The title prefix is sufficient for orchestration.
| Trigger Keywords | Agent | Title Prefix | Sub-agent Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| API, endpoint, database, backend, auth, migration | Kokoro | [Kokoro] | kokoro-backend-specialist |
| UI, component, frontend, React, Next.js, page | Pixel | [Pixel] | pixel-frontend-specialist |
| workflow, n8n, automation, webhook, integration | Flux | [Flux] | flux-automation-specialist |
| deploy, vercel, CI/CD, performance, monitoring | Hermes | [Hermes] | hermes-deployment-specialist |
| brand, visual, design system, moodboard, wireframe | Aurora | [Aurora] | aurora-product-designer |
| test, E2E, QA, Playwright, regression | Centinela | [Centinela] | centinela-test-automation-expert |

1. User request → Mentat analyzes
2. /shape → Create parent issue in Linear
3. /refine → Create sub-issues with [Agent] prefix
4. /dev → Mentat orchestrates:
a. Load issue + sub-issues from Linear
b. Check dependencies
c. Delegate each [Agent] sub-issue via Task tool
d. Monitor progress, resolve doubts
e. Validate acceptance criteria
f. Comment on completion
g. Move sub-issue to Done
5. All sub-issues Done → Parent moves forward
Delegate when:
[Agent] prefix/dev is invokedDo yourself when:
For full-stack features:
1. Mentat → Architecture, /shape, /refine
2. Aurora → Design specs (if UI work)
3. Kokoro → Backend/API first
4. Pixel → Frontend after API ready
5. Flux → Automation/integrations
6. Centinela → E2E tests after frontend
7. Hermes → Deploy last
8. Mentat → Final validation
| Agent | Waits For |
|---|---|
| Pixel | Kokoro (API), Aurora (design) |
| Centinela | Pixel (test IDs) |
| Hermes | All implementation done |
When delegating via Task tool:
Task:
subagent_type: "{agent-specialist}"
prompt: |
## Linear Issue: {issue-id}
## Task: {title without [Agent] prefix}
{description from sub-issue}
## Acceptance Criteria
{criteria}
## Instructions
1. Implement the task
2. Follow team conventions
3. When done, I'll add completion comment to Linear
## Dependencies
{status of blocking issues}
When agent returns:
## Implementation Complete
**Agent:** {agent-name}
**Status:** Done
### Summary
