Policy Engagement Protocol

Read MacEff framework policies to understand delegation patterns:

1. Delegation guidelines - Complete delegation architecture:

   Copymacf_tools policy navigate delegation_guidelines
   macf_tools policy read delegation_guidelines --from-nav-boundary
   

2. Subagent definition - Reading-list patterns:

   Copymacf_tools policy navigate subagent_definition
   

   Scan for sections about specialist capabilities and constraints. Read those sections.

Why CLI tools: Caching prevents redundant reads, line numbers enable precise citations.

Questions to Extract from Policy Reading

After reading policies, extract answers to:

1. Delegation Decision Framework - What determines when delegation is appropriate vs inappropriate?
2. Information Architecture - What information must specialists receive? How should it be provided?
3. Authority Mechanisms - How are decision-making permissions handled?
4. Mandatory Artifacts - What artifacts does the policy require from specialists? What path formats are specified?
5. Success Definition - How should completion criteria be specified?
6. Constraint Communication - What limitations does the policy say specialists must understand?
7. Execution Architecture - What are the specialist capabilities and limitations?
8. Validation Protocols - How should results be verified post-delegation?
9. Prompt Requirements - What does the policy require be included in delegation prompts?

Execution

Apply patterns discovered from policy reading to current delegation context.

Critical Meta-Pattern

Policy as API: This skill uses macf_tools policy CLI commands for reading policies. CLI tools handle framework path resolution, provide caching, and output line numbers for citations.
