Constraints
Requires a ChatGPT account. Paste the prompt into a new ChatGPT conversation to start. No additional tools or configuration needed. The framework concepts (Automation / Augmentation / Agency) come from an Anthropic course; the author turned them into a single usable prompt.
What they did
Author @YangXiaoka, after studying Anthropic's Delegation course, used a Chinese prompt to have ChatGPT review their collaboration through the three categories of Automation, Augmentation, and Agency. ChatGPT re-categorized the author's industry-research project into different delegation strategies.
How it went
ChatGPT's response helped the author re-divide task authority: research purpose as joint decision (Augmentation), information gathering primarily Agency, technical implementation as strong Agency, etc. ChatGPT also proactively identified two shortcomings: ① insufficient Agency on technical details, often returning solvable choices to the user; ② insufficient depth in Augmentation on important judgments, often closing discussion with shallow "Option A/B, do you agree?" prompts.

Worth knowing
Framework source: Automation / Augmentation / Agency comes from an Anthropic course; the YouTube link at the end of the post is a course intro video for background only. This site has not tested the workflow. Five elements of a delegation agreement (summarized from source): goal / autonomy scope / resource boundaries / completion and stop conditions / feedback mechanism. Key limitation: true Agency includes "autonomous stopping" — when leads are low-value or evidence is insufficient, the AI should proactively propose shelving the task instead of continuously generating busywork. Publish authorization requires separate confirmation: "allowed to research" does not automatically imply "allowed to publish on my behalf".
Steps
Send the Delegation review prompt
Open a new ChatGPT conversation and paste the prompt below exactly as written. The prompt asks ChatGPT to review your collaboration through three categories (Automation, Augmentation, Agency) and identify optimizations.

用 Delegation 的框架分类来重新审视我们的协作过程: 一是 Automation,我给具体指令,你负责自动化执行; 二是 Augmentation,增强,需要我们俩一起协作; 三是 Agency,你可以独立自主地发起任务,有了明确的 goal,你就可以往下去推。 告诉我哪些地方可以优化。
Negotiate division of labor and delegation strategy from the output
Read ChatGPT's response. In the source, ChatGPT re-categorized the author's industry-research project and produced the following reference structure: - Research purpose / what deserves attention → Augmentation (joint decision) - Ongoing information gathering → primarily Agency, with deduplication/archiving as Automation - Interpreting changes and forming insights → AI researches autonomously first, then escalates key disagreements for joint discussion - Technical implementation and troubleshooting → strong Agency, routine technical choices need no per-request confirmation - Publishing externally in your name → separate authorization; not automatically derivable from "allowed to research" Adapt this structure to your own projects and confirm delegation boundaries with ChatGPT.
