Reserve Capacity for the Work That Cannot Wait

When every task draws on one shared pool, a burst of ordinary work can consume the room that a task which cannot wait needs, and the critical task is delayed by traffic that matters far less. Capacity reservation sets aside a slice of the pool for a named class of work so it is never crowded out. This skill covers reservation for agent systems: name the work that cannot wait, hold a slice back for it, allow others to borrow the slice only while it is idle, reclaim borrowed slots when the named work arrives, and alert when the reserved slice is spent on work it was not set aside for.
