delegate

A command for sending a task to another configured model worker and checking the worker’s result before accepting it. A model worker is a separate AI process used to carry out delegated work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write a complete task brief, dispatch the work, inspect the changes, run checks, and request revisions when the result is incomplete.
Why use it?
It can move implementation or other lengthy work to another model while keeping a review step to catch missed requirements.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

delegate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Delegate a task to a model worker per the orchestrating-model-workers skill (read its SKILL.md in this plugin if you haven't this session).

Arguments given: "$ARGUMENTS"

  1. Pick the worker: if the first argument names one (check "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/setup-worker.sh" list), use it; otherwise use the only configured worker, or ask which.
  2. Write a complete, self-contained spec for the task: relevant file paths, acceptance criteria, constraints, and the instruction to return a short summary with pointers (never full file dumps).
  3. Dispatch headlessly: ~/.claude-workers/<name>/run -p "<spec>" --permission-mode acceptEdits (drop --permission-mode for read-only research tasks).
  4. Revision gate — audit the result against the acceptance criteria yourself: read the diff, run the tests or the code. Do not present unverified worker output as done.
  5. If it misses: send the SAME worker back out with specific revision notes. After a second miss, do the task yourself or via a smarter subagent — judge the output, not the price tag.
  6. Report to the user: what was delegated, audit verdict, and the final result.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

delegate is a command published in the GitHub repository divyamrastogi/model-orchestration (4 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 302 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
