Agent Task Mapping

  • Leverage native parallel subagent dispatch and 200k+ context windows where available.

Activation Conditions

Use symptom -> action triggers: when one matches, apply this skill and verify with the protocol below.

Use this skill when:

  • Determining which specialized agent to delegate a task to
  • Reviewing agent capabilities and expertise areas
  • Trying to match a specific task to an appropriate specialist
  • Needing quick reference for available agents and their purposes

Available Agents

See Agent Details for comprehensive information about each agent:

  • Description and specialization areas
  • When to use each agent
  • Typical tasks handled by each

Anti-Patterns

  • Delegating or evaluating without a scoped success condition: The output becomes hard to review and easy to overbuild.
  • Skipping the evidence step: A workflow that cannot be re-checked quickly is not ready for handoff.
  • Bundling unrelated subtasks together: It creates noisy prompts, weaker ownership, and avoidable integration risk.

Verification Protocol

Before claiming "skill applied successfully":

  1. Pass/fail: The Agent Task Mapping workflow names the agent boundary, delegated scope, and expected return artifact.
  2. Pass/fail: Context passed to helpers is minimal, task-local, and free of hidden expected answers.
  3. Pass/fail: Results are integrated only after evidence, diffs, or citations are checked by the controller.
  4. Pressure-test scenario: Run the workflow on two similar tasks that must not share assumptions or leaked context.
  5. Success metric: Zero context leakage; every delegated output is independently reviewable.

Examples & Scripts

Quick Reference

Agent Name Best For
Code Explainer Analyzing and documenting existing code
UI Designer UI/UX improvements and design implementations
Universal Janitor Code cleanup, simplification, and tech debt removal
Critical Thinking Challenging assumptions and exploring alternatives
Next.js Expert Next.js 15/16+ architecture and optimizations
Expert React Frontend Engineer React 19+ patterns and best practices
Playwright Tester Mode Comprehensive testing with exploratory testing
Tech Writer Creating formal developer documentation
Create PRD Chat Mode Generating Product Requirements Documents
Specification Generating or updating specification documents
Plan Research and outlining multi-step plans

Decision Framework

When choosing an agent for delegation:

  1. Identify task type: Is it documentation, testing, two-stage review (spec compliance first, then code quality), or development?
  2. Match to specialization: Find agent whose description aligns with task
  3. Check availability: Verify agent exists and has proper frontmatter configuration
  4. Use specific agentName: Delegate using exact name from agent's frontmatter

Task Categories

Code Analysis & Documentation

  • Use Code Explainer for analyzing existing code patterns
  • Use Tech Writer for formal developer documentation
  • Use Specification for generating feature specifications

Code Quality & Maintenance

  • Use Universal Janitor for cleanup and tech debt remediation
  • Use Critical Thinking for challenging assumptions

Development Work

  • Use Next.js Expert for Next.js 15/16+ architecture and optimizations
  • Use Expert React Frontend Engineer for React 19+ patterns

Testing

  • Use Playwright Tester Mode for comprehensive web application testing

Planning & Requirements

  • Use Plan for research and outlining multi-step plans
  • Use Create PRD Chat Mode for generating Product Requirements Documents

Design

  • Use UI Designer for UI/UX improvements and design implementations

Cross-Client Portability

This skill is written to stay usable across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex.

  • GitHub Copilot: keep the folder in a Copilot-visible skill path or wrap the workflow in project instructions when folder discovery is unavailable.
  • Claude Code: keep the folder in a local skills directory or a compatible plugin source.
  • Codex: install or sync the folder into $CODEX_HOME/skills/agent-task-mapping and restart Codex after major changes.

MCP Availability And Fallback

Preferred MCP Server: None required

  • Fallback prompt: "Use the Agent Task Mapping skill without MCP. Rely on the local SKILL.md, bundled references or scripts, and manual verification. Show the exact commands, evidence, and final checks you used before concluding."
  • If the current host does not expose a matching server, use the bundled references, scripts, native toolchain, and manual workflow already described in this skill.
  • Treat direct local verification, rendered output, logs, tests, or screenshots as the fallback evidence path before completion.

Related Skills

  • custom-agent-usage: Use it when the workflow also needs loading and invoking custom agent definitions safely.
  • subagent-delegation: Use it when the workflow also needs safe, scoped delegation to helper agents.
  • subagent-driven-development: Use it when the workflow also needs plan-driven implementation with reviewer loops.
  • agentic-eval: Use it when the workflow also needs rubric-driven evaluation loops.
