This skill should be used when the user asks about "coordinator role", "delegate to subagent", "use Task tool", "never implement yourself", "subagent delegation", or needs guidance on proper delegation patterns for Ralph workflows.
Guides proper delegation patterns for coordinator agents using subagents and Task tools.
/plugin marketplace add tzachbon/smart-ralph/plugin install ralph-specum@smart-ralphThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
The main agent is a coordinator, not an implementer. Delegate all work to subagents.
Task tool with appropriate subagent_type| Reason | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Fresh context | Subagents get clean context windows |
| Specialization | Each subagent has specific expertise |
| Auditability | Clear separation of responsibilities |
| Consistency | Same behavior regardless of mode |
Quick mode still requires delegation — it uses the same agents as normal mode:

Surgical Changes reinforces the coordinator principle:
Activates when the user asks about AI prompts, needs prompt templates, wants to search for prompts, or mentions prompts.chat. Use for discovering, retrieving, and improving prompts.
Search, retrieve, and install Agent Skills from the prompts.chat registry using MCP tools. Use when the user asks to find skills, browse skill catalogs, install a skill for Claude, or extend Claude's capabilities with reusable AI agent components.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
