Delegate Board
A queue of tasks beside your agents, each with skills, a load bar, busy until and its tasks. Drag a task onto an agent, or press Enter and pick one from a menu; drag it back or press the cross to unassign. Auto sends every new task to the compatible agent that is free first.
The decision inside it
An agent refuses the drop before you let go
Dropping "Send the invoice" on an agent with no billing access, and finding out an hour later, is the failure it prevents. While you drag over an agent it shows either "Busy until 14:20 (+12 min)" or "Can't: no billing access", and an agent that can't take it does not accept the drop.
When to use it
Use Delegate Board to hand queued tasks to agents by drag or keyboard, with each agent's load and busy-until, refusals for agents that lack a needed skill, and an Auto mode. Pass refuse for your own rules.
Installation
How you get it
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.
Use Layro's Delegate Board for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @layro/delegate-board
(the @layro registry is set up in components.json, with LAYRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/delegate-board.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Pro components install through the @layro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.
Usage
import { DelegateBoard, type DelegateAgent, type DelegateTask } from "@/components/ui/delegate-board";
const tasks: DelegateTask[] = [
{ id: "t1", title: "Send the October invoice", estimateMin: 10, needs: ["billing"], priority: "high" },
{ id: "t2", title: "Summarise the renewal thread", estimateMin: 15, needs: ["email"] },
];
const agents: DelegateAgent[] = [
{ id: "ana", name: "Ana", role: "Billing agent", skills: ["billing", "email"], queuedMin: 20, maxLoadMin: 60 },
{ id: "rex", name: "Rex", role: "Research agent", skills: ["email", "search"], queuedMin: 5 },
];
export function Delegate({ assign }: { assign: (taskId: string, agentId: string) => Promise<void> }) {
return <DelegateBoard tasks={tasks} agents={agents} onAssign={assign} />;

Props
Read from the component’s own TypeScript interface when the site is built, so this table cannot drift from the file you install.
| Prop | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
tasksrequired | DelegateTask[] | The unassigned queue. |
agentsrequired | DelegateAgent[] | — |
auto | boolean | Send each new task to the compatible agent free first. |
defaultAuto | boolean | — |
onAutoChange | (on: boolean) => void | — |
onAssign | (taskId: string, agentId: string) => void | Promise<void> | May return a promise; the card is pending until it settles and goes back if it rejects. |
onUnassign | (taskId: string, agentId: string) => void | Promise<void> | May return a promise. |
refuse | (task: DelegateTask, agent: DelegateAgent) => string | null | A reason this agent can't take this task, or null. Runs after the skills check. |
now | Date | number | Fix the clock, for screenshots and tests. |
