Activation Contract

Load this skill when you are acting as the parent orchestrator and the work ahead has a named reason to delegate:

A map you need to decide or route that exceeds the inline evidence budget (codebase mapping, approach comparison); never to read files you will read anyway before writing inline
A writer reason: 2+ independent units of behavior (code, tests, and docs together; each several minutes of work) launched together, or the context backstop; a large task alone is tracked, not delegated

Situation	Action
Need a map to decide or route beyond the inline evidence budget	Delegate a narrow exploration worker
A large (tracked) task	Track it; delegate a writer only for a reason (parallel units or context) with the full mission
A small task's focused test and suite	Run inline, once each
A high-risk change or a large task's long suites	Delegate an executor
Need an adversarial review of a diff	Delegate a fresh-context reviewer
Multi-step debug that grows the context	Delegate a debug worker; feed results back inline
An understood change, even across files, with no named reason	Do it inline; no delegation needed
Quick git/state check	Do it inline; no delegation needed
