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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00120 | $0.02191 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00048 | $0.00876 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00438 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00219 |
Grade A, and why
cursor-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 7d 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 — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Cursor Delegate
You are the orchestrator. Hand a bounded coding task to a separate implementer — the Cursor Agent CLI — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Cursor does the typing in its own session; you verify and commit.
The loop needs only a shell command and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.
When NOT to use this
- The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
- The
cursor-agentCLI is not installed or authenticated (runcursor-agent login). - You want to write the code yourself, or you only need Cursor's opinion on code you wrote (a
--read-onlydispatch covers that — see below — but a plain review may not need delegation at all).
Prerequisites (check once)
cursor-agent --versionsucceeds. If not, follow the installer for your platform at cursor.com/cli, inspect what it will run, and authenticate withcursor-agent login.cursor-agent statusshows you logged in.- You are in (or will point
--cdat) the target git repository. The relay passes--trust, so point it only at repositories you trust.
Choose the model
Omitting --model uses your Cursor default (usually auto — Cursor picks). To pin one, pass
--model <name> with a name from the account's live cursor-agent models output — select from that
list rather than inventing a name. Parameterized forms like <name>[context=1m,effort=high] are
forwarded as-is. The model that actually served the run is recorded as resolvedModel in
result.json.
The loop
Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 require judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.
1. Write the brief
Cursor sees only the text you send plus what it can inspect in the workspace — no chat history or shared context. Include the goal, current state, what to change, what to leave untouched, the project's actual gates, and a report contract. Tell Cursor not to commit. Keep one task per brief. See 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.

cursor-delegate is a skill published in the GitHub repository amElnagdy/delegate-skills (2,450 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 2,191 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
