The agent should not only do the work. It should teach the user how to delegate better work.
Problem
Users do not automatically know what to delegate or how to judge the result.
How it works
- Start by demonstrating useful delegation patterns.
- Collaborate with the user before handing off recurring tasks.
- Turn successful workflows into reusable procedures.
Why it matters
- The product should make the user more capable over time.
- Teaching reduces the blank-page problem of agent delegation.
- Reusable procedures make learning compound inside the workspace.
Behavior
Good behavior
The system shows an example, co-creates the first workflow, then saves the procedure for next week.
Bad behavior
The user sees an empty prompt and does not know what to ask.
