Delegate tasks to a background agent
Hand off small GitHub tasks and review the PR later.
Starter prompt
Task: <goal>. Likely files: <files>. Done when tests pass and <check>. Open a PR with a summary of what you changed and why.
Config
task-template.md
Goal:
Files likely involved:
Done when: tests pass and <check>
Out of scope:Setup steps
- Connect your GitHub repo.
- Write tasks with a clear 'done when'.
- Review PRs like a teammate's.
Why this works
Parallel background work while you do something else.
Watch out
Small, well-specified tasks only. Vague tasks produce big, hard-to-review PRs.
