What this adds

This PR adds a small, additive proposal note for DELEGATION.md and a sample DELEGATION.md file.

The idea is simple:

  • AGENTS.md tells an agent how to work
  • DELEGATION.md would describe what authority it has

Why

One thing that still feels under-specified in agent workflows is authority:

  • which actions are allowed
  • which actions are forbidden
  • which delegatees or tools are in scope
  • when fresh human approval is required
  • where read-only turns into write access
  • where drafting turns into sending or executing

This PR does not try to redefine AGENTS.md.
It just adds a short note in the README and a sample file in the fork to make the adjacent idea concrete.

Scope

This is intentionally small:

  • add DELEGATION.md sample file
  • add a short README section describing the concept
  • include HDP references as one possible runtime provenance/enforcement layer

No site components or existing project messaging are changed.

References

Feedback I’d love

  • whether this feels like a useful sibling concept to AGENTS.md
  • whether DELEGATION.md is the right name
  • whether this belongs as a separate proposal/repo rather than as a note here
