delegate

A command that delegates a user’s task through the AnyModel runner subagent to a chosen AI engine and model. A subagent is a separate worker handling the delegated request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running implementation, debugging, or analysis tasks through a selected provider/model, either immediately or with background and waiting controls.
Why use it?
It provides one entry point for sending work elsewhere while keeping model, engine, bridge, file-writing, effort, and resume settings intact.

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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Invoke the anymodel:anymodel-runner subagent via the Agent tool (subagent_type: "anymodel:anymodel-runner"), forwarding the raw user request as the prompt. anymodel:anymodel-runner is a subagent, not a skill — do not call Skill(anymodel:anymodel-runner) (no such skill) or Skill(anymodel:delegate) (that re-enters this command and hangs the session). The command runs inline so the Agent tool stays in scope; forked general-purpose subagents do not expose it. The final user-visible response must be the engine's output verbatim.

Raw user request: $ARGUMENTS

Flag reference (these are runtime-selection flags — preserve them for the forwarded delegate call, do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text):

  • --engine codex|claude — selects the executor harness. codex runs the task through codex app-server; claude runs it through claude -p --output-format stream-json. Default is the configured default engine (see /anymodel:setup).
  • --model <provider/model> — selects what the harness thinks with. Provider prefixes supported by the registry: zai/ (Z.AI GLM models), ollama/ (Ollama Cloud gpt-oss / qwen3-coder / minimax), opencode-go/ (glm / kimi / qwen / deepseek). When omitted, the engine's default model is used. Aliases (e.g. spark) resolve via config.
  • --bridge builtin|litellm — selects how non-native providers are translated to the engine's wire format. builtin uses the built-in shim (no external dependency); litellm proxies through a LiteLLM bridge instance. Default is builtin.
  • --write — grants the engine write access to the workspace sandbox (read-only is the default unless the engine has a real sandbox and --write is passed). Never default --write on engines without real sandboxing.

Execution mode:

  • If the request includes --background, run the anymodel:anymodel-runner subagent in the background.
  • If the request includes --wait, run the anymodel:anymodel-runner subagent in the foreground.
  • If neither flag is present, default to foreground.
  • --background and --wait are execution flags for Claude Code. Do not forward them as part of the natural-language task text.
  • If the request includes --resume, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
  • If the request includes --fresh, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
  • Otherwise, before starting the engine, check for a resumable thread from this Claude session by running:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/companion.mjs" delegate --resume-candidate --json
  • If that helper reports available: true, use AskUserQuestion exactly once to ask whether to continue the current engine thread or start a new one.
  • The two choices must be:
    • Continue current engine thread
    • Start a new engine thread
  • If the user is clearly giving a follow-up instruction such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", put Continue current engine thread (Recommended) first.
  • Otherwise put Start a new engine thread (Recommended) first.
  • If the user chooses continue, add --resume before routing to the subagent.
  • If the user chooses a new thread, add --fresh before routing to the subagent.
  • If the helper reports available: false, do not ask. Route normally.

Operating rules:

  • The subagent is a thin forwarder only. It makes exactly one Bash call to invoke node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/companion.mjs" delegate ... and returns that command's stdout as-is.
  • Return the companion stdout verbatim to the user.
  • Do not paraphrase, summarize, rewrite, or add commentary before or after it.
  • Do not ask the subagent to inspect files, monitor progress, poll /anymodel:status, fetch /anymodel:result, call /anymodel:cancel, summarize output, or do follow-up work of its own.
  • If the helper reports that the engine is missing or unauthenticated, stop and tell the user to run /anymodel:setup.
  • If the user did not supply a request, ask what the engine should investigate or fix.

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 pealmeida/anymodel-plugin (0 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,072 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.
