Task Delegation
TL;DR
The practice of describing a desired outcome to Cowork rather than specifying individual steps.
Definition
The practice of describing a desired outcome to Cowork rather than specifying individual steps. Effective delegation means telling Claude what "done" looks like — the output format, naming conventions, folder structure, and quality criteria — and letting it plan the route. This is the opposite of step-by-step micromanaging, which often produces worse results.
Exam Context
Questions test whether you can distinguish outcome-oriented prompts from step-by-step instructions. Look for the prompt that describes the end-state rather than prescribing every action.
