Level 4
Delegator
You hand off multi-step tasks, like deep research or an agent that browses or edits files, and review the result.
Signs you're here
- You've run a deep research report
- You've let an agent take actions for you
- You review rather than do
The judgment habit
Define done first: say what success looks like, name the plan's two biggest assumptions, and preview anything irreversible.
The trap
You approve work you didn't actually read.
Quest to move up
Make it run without you
Take a task you hand off repeatedly and set it to run on a trigger or schedule.
Help me automate this: [task]. It should run when [trigger]. Walk me through a no-code setup step by step, and list the 3 ways it could go wrong and how I'd notice.
It worked when: It runs correctly for 2 weeks and you caught at least one issue.
When to move up
Move up when you hand off the same kind of task over and over.
