The prompt
Post-mortem on delegated task failure: Task: {{task_name}} Delegated to: {{delegate}} What went wrong: {{failure_description}} When discovered: {{discovery_time}} Impact: {{impact}} Delegate's experience level: {{experience}} Diagnose: 1. Was it an instruction problem? (unclear success criteria, missing context) 2. Capability problem? (delegate didn't have skills or tools) 3. Capacity problem? (delegate was overloaded) 4. Assumption problem? (you assumed they knew something they didn't) 5. Follow-up problem? (you didn't check in at the right cadence) For each issue found, recommend: - Specific change to your delegation process - Template or checklist to prevent recurrence - Feedback to give the delegate (growth opportunity, not blame) Design a delegation protocol for this role going forward.
