What This Does

Creates a pattern kind prose contract defining when Mumuni (the manager) must delegate work to worker profiles instead of executing it directly. Addresses the iteration exhaustion issue where Mumuni blew through the 60-call budget on single-turn tasks.

Mumuni-specific — other agents have different architectures and worker profiles, so this contract only applies to Mumuni.

Contents

• Trigger conditions — When delegation is mandatory (2+ tool calls, >5K token output, cross-domain, infra changes, code builds)
• Worker selection matrix — All 6 Mumuni profiles with model, toolsets, role mapping
• Delegation protocol — Decompose → Dispatch → Verify → Deliver
• Kanban board — ~/.hermes/kanban/kanban.json with status tracking
• Failure handling — 900s timeout, retry with narrower scope
• Anti-patterns — No pretending-to-delegate, no skipping verification, max 3 parallel
• Emergency exception — Delegate diagnosis, execute fix, verify after

Approved Rules (from Kwame)

• Triggers when context will fill up
• Use worker profiles for their designed roles
• Single tool stays at manager level
• Max 3 parallel workers
• Verify infra changes, code builds, research findings
• Emergency tasks still delegated for separation of concerns
• Kanban board at ~/.hermes/kanban/kanban.json

Lint

✅ Lint passed — no new warnings introduced.

feat: add delegation-prose-contract pattern — manager operating doctrine for worker delegation ... 548e421fa1

Defines when to delegate, worker selection matrix, verification protocol,
kanban board, and failure handling. Addresses the context overflow and
iteration exhaustion issues where the manager was doing all work itself
instead of delegating to the 6 worker profiles.

fix: add topology section to satisfy lint checks ... 98d8ce6772

Added cluster/node topology section referencing all 5 Proxmox nodes and
clarifying that the contract is infrastructure-agnostic — defines the who
and when, not the where.

rename: delegation-prose-contract → mumuni-delegation-prose-contract ... a8354e88bc

Contract is Mumuni-specific operating doctrine — different agents have
different architectures and don't need this. Renamed file and frontmatter
to reflect that.
