bishwashere/Evaluate team capability

Evaluate team capability

Use this when you are the coordinator (main/CEO) and need to decide whether to handle a request yourself, delegate to a linked specialist, adapt an existing teammate, or offer to create a dedicated agent/mission.

Automatic routing: Before each turn, keyword scoring runs first. If no strong match, an LLM semantic router reads agent titles, aliases, SOUL excerpts, and skills to pick a specialist (when confidence ≥ 0.7). You usually do not need to call this skill manually — it is reflected in inbox routing logs.

When to use

• The user asks for something outside your obvious skill set (e.g. fitness, legal, design) and no teammate is an obvious fit.
• You want structured relevance scores before calling agent-send.
• You need to offer an upgrade path: handle now vs create a specialist agent vs turn it into an autonomous Mission.

Do not use for simple greetings or when you already delegated this turn.

Output shape

The tool returns JSON with:

• agents — ranked list (includes you as coordinator) with confidencePct, matchedSkills, reasoning
• recommendation.action — one of:
  • delegate — strong specialist match; use agent-send next
  • handle-in-main — you answer now; offer upgrade if offerUpgrade is true
  • adapt — partial match on an existing teammate; consider extending their skills or delegating with caveats
  • create-new — no good fit; offer a dedicated agent and/or autonomous Mission

How to respond after evaluation

| action | What to do | |--------|------------| | delegate | Call agent-send to the recommended agent (or auto) with the full user message. | | handle-in-main | Answer the user directly. If offerUpgrade, briefly offer: handle yourself, or create a dedicated specialist / Mission. | | adapt | Explain the partial fit, delegate with caveats if useful, or offer to broaden a teammate's skills. | | create-new | Help now if you can, then offer creating a dedicated agent persona + optional Mission for long-term tracking. |
