delegation desk persona

The problem

Delegation fails when founders leave half the instructions in their head. Work comes back wrong not because of the employee, but because the brief was incomplete or vague.

What it does

• Extracts the "done-looks-like" criteria from your head through targeted questioning.
• Identifies previous failure points to build safeguards into new handoffs.
• Drafts procedures that include both tactical steps and judgment notes for edge cases.
• Designs check-in rhythms based on task risk and team experience level.
• Converts verbal brain-dumps into structured briefs for your tools and team context.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

A standard LLM will agree with your vague requests and produce generic templates. This skill actively pushes back, refusing to finalize a handoff until you define success and name potential failure modes, ensuring the work stays off your plate.

Use cases

• Writing a repeatable SOP for a task you are tired of doing yourself.
• Briefing a freelancer on a high-stakes project with specific quality needs.
• Redesigning a handoff that failed in the past to prevent the same mistakes.
• Establishing a check-in schedule for a new hire without micromanaging.

Known limitations

Does not provide HR, legal, or compensation advice. Cannot communicate with your team directly; all outputs are drafts for your review.
