delegate-skills is a toolkit for assigning coding tasks to separate agent command-line tools while keeping control of review and commits. It is for developers who want to organize installed implementers into lanes for work such as features, tests, or UI, then delegate tasks by lane or directly. The catalogue entries define the setup and delegation workflows.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00155 | $0.02810 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00062 | $0.01124 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.00562 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00281 |
Grade A, and why
codex-delegate scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
# network inside the sandbox (gh, curl, installs): add --network-access (on resume: --sandbox workspace-write --network-access) How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Codex Delegate
You are the orchestrator. This skill lets you hand a bounded coding task to a separate implementer — the OpenAI Codex CLI — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Codex does the typing in its own sandbox; you verify and commit.
Nothing here is specific to one orchestrating agent. The loop needs only the ability to run a shell command and read a file, so it works the same whether you are Claude Code, OpenCode with a selected model, or any comparable agent. (It is designed for and run on Claude Code; treat other orchestrators as designed-for, not yet proven.)
When NOT to use this
- The task is small enough to just do inline — delegation overhead is not worth it.
- The
codexCLI is not installed or not authenticated (runcodex login). - You want to write the code yourself, or you only need a review (use Codex's own
reviewcommand).
Prerequisites (check once)
codex --versionsucceeds. If not, install (npm i -g @openai/codex) andcodex login.- Confirm which
codexis on PATH. Multiple installs are common (e.g. a current npm/nvm copy and a stale Homebrew one).command -v codexshows the active one andcodex --versionits version — an old binary predates flags this skill relies on (codex exec --json,-o,exec resume). The relay also records the version it ran intoresult.json, so a stale binary is visible after the fact. - You are in (or will point
--cdat) the target git repository.
The loop
Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 are your judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.
1. Write the brief
Codex sees only the text you send — no repo memory, no chat history, no shared context. Everything the task needs goes in the brief: the goal, the current state, what to change, what to leave untouched, the project's actual gate commands (discover them from the repo's CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/Makefile — do not assume), and a report contract. Tell Codex it will not commit (you will). Keep one task per brief. Full guidance and a template: references/writing-the-brief.md.
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

codex-delegate is a skill published in the GitHub repository amElnagdy/delegate-skills (2,441 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 155 tokens to every session and 2,810 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
