subagent-delegation

subagent-delegation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alkindivv/MCPishCode. It costs 19 tokens per session (845 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of subagent-delegation, MIT.

A guide for handing coding tasks to other configured coding agents, called subagents. It describes commands for listing, starting, following up with, and inspecting those agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate coding tasks, ask a named subagent for a second opinion, compare approaches, and check subagent responses.
Why use it?
It helps split work or obtain another agent's opinion when a task benefits from delegation or comparison.

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

subagent-delegation 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Subagent Delegation

Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to delegate work to another coding agent, use a named subagent, get a second opinion, compare approaches, or run a subagent-like workflow.

Do not use subagents silently. Tell the user when another subagent is being used.

Core commands

Use only these commands for normal delegation:

mcpishcode agents ls
mcpishcode agents run <profile-or-provider-or-id> "<prompt>"
mcpishcode agents show <id>

ls shows existing subagent sessions for the current workspace. MCPishCode scopes it automatically from the shell environment injected by the workspace tool.

run <profile> "<prompt>" starts a new configured profile and prints a MCPishCode agent id.

run <provider> "<prompt>" starts a raw built-in provider when no configured profile is needed. Built-in providers are listed by open_workspace.

run <id> "<prompt>" sends a follow-up to an existing agent.

show <id> prints status and the latest response. If the agent is still running, show waits briefly. If there is still no final response, call show again later.

Do not run provider CLIs such as codex, claude, opencode, pi, cursor-agent, or copilot directly unless you are explicitly debugging MCPishCode agent integration.

Choosing a profile

Choose profiles from the compact subagent profile catalog returned by open_workspace. Use the profile name with mcpishcode agents run. If no profile fits and delegation is still appropriate, use a built-in provider name from open_workspace.

Profiles may declare a model and optional thinking level. To override the configured/default provider model or thinking level for a run, pass --model or --thinking:

mcpishcode agents run <profile-or-provider> --model <model> "<prompt>"
mcpishcode agents run <profile-or-provider> --thinking <level> "<prompt>"

Use --thinking only when the user asks for a specific reasoning depth or when the task clearly needs a different effort than the configured profile default. Thinking values are provider-specific passthrough values. Use names supported by the selected local agent harness; MCPishCode does not translate values between providers.

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.
