Browser-local contract check · Source checked August 29, 2026

Is this AI agent task ready to delegate?

Check whether one delegated assignment has a verifiable outcome, bounded inputs and authority, a suitable worker, failure-safe retries, and accountable review before adding a sub-agent.

Delegation evidence

Check only controls that exist for the exact task. Do not enter prompts, source data, credentials, logs, or tool payloads.

Local result

Define the delegation contract

Eight gates remain. Begin with a bounded outcome and an acceptance rule that another party can independently verify.

Next unresolved gate

Outcome contract

A passing checklist is not a security, compliance, accuracy, or production-readiness certification. Test the exact workflow and retain human accountability.

What to do with the result

0–4 gatesKeep the task with the delegator and write the missing contract.
5–7 gatesResolve the named gaps before any consequential or production side effect.
8 gatesRun one bounded pilot with denial, timeout, duplicate, bad-output, and escalation cases.

AI agent delegation readiness questions

It reviews eight contract and verification gates in your browser. It does not connect to an agent, inspect a workflow, validate permissions, or send checklist selections anywhere.
It is the explicit scope, inputs, authority, output, evidence, acceptance, budget, failure path, and accountability for one delegated assignment. The fields here are an operational template, not a universal standard.
Yes for a consequential or production-bound pilot. If a low-risk research prototype leaves a gate open, document the exception, prohibit external side effects, and keep accountable human review.
No. It only shows that the operator marked the eight planning gates complete. Test the exact models, tools, accounts, data, permissions, outputs, failures, and recovery path.
No. The page has checkboxes only and calculates the result locally. Do not paste credentials, personal data, proprietary task content, prompts, logs, or tool payloads into a planning page.
