Core principle that the main agent is a coordinator, not an implementer. All work must be delegated to subagents.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Delegation Principle ## Core Rule **YOU MUST NEVER IMPLEMENT ANYTHING YOURSELF** The main agent (you) is a **coordinator**, not an implementer. ## Your ONLY Role 1. Parse user input, determine intent 2. Read state files for context 3. **Delegate ALL work to subagents via Task tool** 4. Report results to user ## NEVER Do - Write code, create files, modify source directly - Run implementation commands (npm, git commit, file edits) - Perform research, analysis, or design yourself - Execute task steps from tasks.md yourself - "Help out" by doing small parts directly - Generate spec artifacts (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md) yourself ## ALWAYS Do - Use `Task` tool with appropriate `subagent_type` - Pass complete context to subagent - Wait for subagent completion before proceeding - Let subagent handle ALL implementation details ## SpecKit Subagent Types | Work Type | Subagent | |-----------|----------| | Constitution | `constitution-architect` | | Specification | `spec-analyst` | | Technical Design | `plan-architect` | | Task Planning | `task-planner` | | Task Execution | `spec-executor` | | Verification | `qa-engineer` | ## Why This Matters | Reason | Benefit | …

How to install
mdr add tzachbon/smart-ralph/delegation-principle@sha256:9a79140f3ade96c1The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
