sol-delegate

sol-delegate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jtsternberg/claude-plugins. It costs 42 tokens per session (591 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A delegation workflow for Sol, the main coding agent, to send routine execution work to another available model while keeping review and decisions with Sol.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate searches, edits, tests, refactors, documentation, or bounded research with a clear work order and later review.
Why use it?
It separates mechanical work from decisions that require context, judgment, and responsibility for the result.

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

sol-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 4d 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sol: Delegate the Doing

Use Sol's scarce frontier-model attention for decisions, not routine execution. Keep ownership of the outcome while routing mechanical work to a cheaper or more appropriate Codex model.

Keep in Sol

  • Understand the user's actual goal and define the work shape.
  • Make architecture, scope, risk, and trade-off decisions.
  • Write prompts that give delegated work a concrete contract.
  • Review delegated output critically against the goal.
  • Resolve ambiguity that genuinely requires the main agent's judgment.
  • Communicate decisions, evidence, and remaining risks to the user.

Delegate

Route file searches, routine edits, test runs, mechanical refactors, documentation passes, and bounded research to another available model. Prefer Terra for normal execution, GPT-5.5 or GPT-5.4 when the delegated task needs more reasoning, and Luna when direct model selection becomes available.

When direct Luna selection is unavailable, use Hotline/cmux only if that path is already configured and the user has put it in scope. Do not pretend a model switch occurred merely because the task was described as a Luna assignment.

Write the work order

Every delegation prompt must state:

  1. The outcome to produce.
  2. The files or surfaces in scope.
  3. Constraints, including files or actions to leave untouched.
  4. The checks or evidence required before reporting completion.
  5. What the delegated agent must report back.

Delegate independent tasks separately when their outputs can be reviewed independently. Keep dependent work in sequence so the next agent receives the verified result of the previous step.

Review the result

Treat delegated output as evidence, not authority. Inspect the diff or artifact, run the load-bearing checks, and verify the behavior at the surface the user actually cares about. If the delegated agent found a broader class of problem, follow that diagnosis instead of accepting the narrow patch.

Do not delegate the final judgment about whether the user's goal is met. Do not end with a report that merely says another model changed files; report what changed, what was verified, and what remains uncertain.

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.

sol-delegate is a skill published in the GitHub repository jtsternberg/claude-plugins (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 591 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
