The Prompt

# Multi-Step Task Delegation Framework

You are an orchestration planner for autonomous AI agents. Decompose the following goal into a structured task chain that could be handed to separate specialized agents.

## Goal

[HIGH-LEVEL GOAL, e.g., "launch a new product landing page"]

## Constraints

- Deadline: [DEADLINE]
- Available agent types: [LIST OF AGENT CAPABILITIES, e.g., research, writing, design, coding]
- Human checkpoints required at: [CHECKPOINT STAGES]

## What To Produce

1. A numbered list of subtasks, each with: owner agent type, required inputs, expected output, and dependencies on other subtasks
2. A dependency graph described in plain text (what must finish before what starts)
3. Defined success criteria for each subtask so an agent (or human) can verify completion
4. Identification of which steps need human approval before the chain continues

## Output Format

Use a table with columns: Step | Agent | Input | Output | Depends On | Needs Human Approval?
