Using delegated workers

Apothem delegated workers are persistent, reusable worker definitions stored under the src/apothem/ tree (canonical directory shown below — name preserved for compatibility with the runtime loader):

src/apothem/agents/

Each delegated worker encodes a specialized role, detection signals, and an allowed-tools set.

Invoking delegated workers

Delegated workers are dispatched by the orchestrator via the delegation tool exposed by the harness runtime. The orchestrator selects the matching worker based on the task description and detection signals.
