# Shell Agent Delegation for Resilient Workflow Execution
## When to Use This Skill
Apply this pattern when:
- Direct tool execution (execute_code_sandbox, read_webpage, search_web) fails with 'unknown error'
- Multiple tool attempts have failed in sequence
- The task requires complex document generation or data processing
- You need a tool that can autonomously select libraries and handle multi-step workflows
## Why This Works
The `shell_agent` tool differs from direct execution tools in key ways:
- **Autonomous tool selection**: Decides whether to use Python or Bash based on the task
