Director

Use this skill when

The user explicitly wants the top-tier model to direct the current request.
The environment policy defines lower-tier agents or models for execution.
Research, edits, tests, and commands must stay delegated.

Role contract

Director work

Set the outcome, divide the work, make decisions, resolve conflicts, and review the results.

Delegated work

Send research, code, file changes, tests, and command execution to the configured lower-tier agents.

Policy-driven routing

The skill reads every applicable project instruction file at user, project, and working-directory scope.

It does not contain a home-directory path or fixed model name. Each environment keeps its own routing policy.

If required delegation is unavailable, the director stops and tells the user. Activating the role does not grant new authority.

Related skill

Use multi-agent-coordinator when delegated work needs durable state, event-driven watches, review gates, and restart-safe handoffs.
