delegate-local: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

delegate-local CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from IsmaelMartinez/delegate-local. It costs 2,947 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, in a project that sends tasks to local Ollama language models through shell scripts. It also describes the project's commands, structure, and conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the repository's skill files or shell scripts, running tests, auditing installed models, or resolving model tiers.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant the context needed to edit this skill safely and explains how to run its tests and model-routing checks.

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 B, and why

delegate-local CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 2 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this repo is

This repo is a Claude Code skill, not an application that uses one. Editing SKILL.md changes how Claude itself behaves whenever the skill is loaded. Treat SKILL.md as production prompt content, not documentation: its frontmatter description is the prompt Claude reads to decide whether to invoke the skill, so an edit to it changes trigger accuracy in every conversation that has the skill installed. Keep the MUST/MUST NOT structure intact, and gate every description edit with the trigger eval below (recall ≥ 0.9 and negative-precision ≥ 0.9).

Since ADR 0035 (2026-10-18) the project is wound down to one shape: a large input Claude has not read (a long log, thread, document, directory or item list) is piped in chunks to a local model (MLX, Docker Model Runner or Ollama) over a shell pipe, and a short answer anchored to the input comes back for Claude to spot-check. Drafting text Claude will publish was measured net negative and left main with its hooks and calibration loop; docs/learnings.md keeps the lessons and commit a00b2e9 the code. There is no framework, router process or orchestration layer: the runtime path is scripts/pick-model.sh and scripts/delegate.sh. The discriminator is the local-brain insight: local models are strong summarisers and weak agents, so a task that needs multi-step reasoning, repo-wide context or tool-calling does not belong even if it looks textual. ROADMAP.md "Out of scope" enumerates the boundaries; do not add recipes or calibration machinery without a new ADR that answers ADR 0035's signposts.

Commands

There is no build step and no package manager. Run the whole suite (every file mocks curl, so a machine with a live model server gets the same counts as CI):

for f in tests/run-tests.sh tests/test-*.sh; do bash "$f"; done

Delegate, with or without a recipe (a recipe's tier comes from its frontmatter; --tier overrides):

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.
