Delegation Framework Claude Skill — Authority Levels Template

Delegate without dropping balls: 5 levels of authority, briefing templates, decision-rights docs, and the trust calibration that lets founders actually let go.

What this Claude Skill does

• Use 5 levels of authority — from 'wait until told' to 'decide and act'
• Brief delegated work with outcome, scope, resources, constraints
• Build per-role decision rights documents
• Calibrate trust per task per person — explicitly

Built for

• Founders stuck doing too much personally
• New managers transitioning from IC to delegation
• Coaches working with leaders on leverage

What's inside

• SKILL.md — the full skill file with frontmatter, methodology, phases, examples, anti-patterns, and recovery
• Step-by-step phases Claude follows to produce a senior-level output every time
• Worked examples with realistic detail you can adapt to your situation
• Anti-patterns + recovery playbook so the work survives edge cases
• Delivery file tree so outputs land organized for you or your client

How a Claude Skill works

This is a Claude Skill — a single SKILL.md file Claude reads as instructions for a specific kind of work. Drop it in your Claude Project, your /mnt/skills/user/ folder, or wherever Claude can read it. Claude triggers the skill automatically when your prompt matches its description, then follows the methodology end to end.
