Problem or Use Case

There should be option to completely disable agent delegation and remove it from all prompts. Why have specific soul.md and skill.md which then gets completely ruined when agent delegates tasks?

The performance on delegated tasks is drastically reduced. We should have an option to not rely on AI to make this type of decision.

Proposed Solution

delegation: orchestrator_enabled: false

doesnt remove delegation fully. There should be a flag to rip it out.

Feature Type

Configuration option

Scope

Small (single file, < 50 lines)

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by introducing a new configuration flag to completely disable agent delegation.

Guidance

  • Introduce a new configuration option, e.g., delegation_enabled: false, to explicitly control agent delegation.
  • Verify the effectiveness of this flag by checking if delegation is fully removed from all prompts and performance on tasks is improved.
  • Consider modifying the orchestrator_enabled flag to also disable delegation or create a separate flag for more granular control.
  • Review the impact of this change on the overall system, particularly on soul.md and skill.md files.

Example

delegation:
  enabled: false

This example illustrates a potential configuration change to disable delegation.

Notes

The introduction of a new flag may require updates to the documentation and user interface to reflect the changed configuration options.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce a new configuration flag to disable agent delegation, as it provides a direct solution to the problem and allows for more control over the system's behavior.
