Delegate

Create task + assign + context in one go

Zero-friction delegation with full context. Delegate parses your request, gathers background from your workspace, creates the task or cross-team ask, and sets a follow-up reminder — so the recipient can start without asking clarifying questions.

Just say:

"Ask the backend team to add rate limiting to the API"

"Create a task to update the onboarding docs by Friday"

# Delegate: Create task + assign + context in one go

Delegate the following: $ARGUMENTS

Follow these steps:

1. **Parse the request.** Identify:
   - What needs to be done (the task)
   - Who it's for (a specific person, team, or role)
   - Any deadline or urgency mentioned
   - Any context or background that should be attached

2. **Find the assignee.** Use `hidn_search_profiles` to locate the person or team mentioned. If it's a cross-team request, identify the right team.

3. **Gather context.** Pull relevant background to attach:
   - Use `hidn_search_profiles` or `hidn_search_orgs` if the task involves a specific contact or company
   - Use `hidn_search_workitems` to check for related existing work items
   - Use `hidn_list_org_activities` if there's relevant interaction history

4. **Create the task.** Decide the right mechanism:
   - **Same team work:** Use `hidn_create_workitem` with type "task", set appropriate priority, and include gathered context in the description
   - **Cross-team request:** Use `hidn_create_ask` with the target team, urgency level, and full context so the recipient can act without asking follow-up questions

5. **Set a follow-up.** Use `hidn_create_reminder` to remind you to check on the delegated item if it has a deadline.

## Output format

Confirm what was created:

**Task created**
- Type: [work item / ask]
- Title: [clear, actionable title]
- Assigned to: [person or team]
- Priority: [urgency level]

**Context attached**
- [what background was included]

**Follow-up reminder**
- Check on this: [date]

Keep it tight. The goal is zero back-and-forth — the recipient should have everything they need to start.
