opencode-delegate

A rule for sending coding tasks directly to OpenCode, another coding agent, without first making a plan for approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a request says to delegate work to OpenCode, use OpenCode, or run the task through OpenCode. Do not use it when the user asks to plan first.
Why use it?
It removes the planning-and-approval step when the user explicitly asks for direct delegation, while the surrounding agent still handles model choice, permissions, and checking 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

opencode-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 yesterday.

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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

opencode-delegate

Run a coding task through OpenCode immediately, without writing a plan first. Claude still handles model selection, permissions, and verification — but skips the plan-then-approve gate.

This skill is for direct delegation. If the user wants Claude to plan the work first and get approval before delegating, use opencode-implement instead.

When to use this skill

  • The user uses a direct delegation verb: "delegate to opencode", "use opencode to X", "have opencode do X", "run this through opencode", "ask opencode to X", "hand this to opencode", "just use opencode".
  • Task size doesn't matter for this decision. "Delegate to opencode and add 12 features" still triggers this skill, because the user said "delegate." Trust the user's verb.
  • The user names a specific OpenCode model and gives a concrete task.
  • The user phrases the task as a direct command rather than a planning request.

When NOT to use this skill

  • The user explicitly asks to plan first: "plan and implement", "plan and delegate", "design first", "think through the approach" → use opencode-implement.
  • The task has no clear scope and the user is asking what to do, not how to do it → that's a conversation, not a delegation.
  • When opencode isn't installed — stop and direct the user to install.

Note on large tasks: If the user says "delegate" but the work seems substantial enough that planning would help, you can briefly mention this once after triggering — "this is a sizable task; would you prefer to plan first via opencode-implement?" — but only as an optional suggestion. If the user confirms direct delegation or doesn't address the suggestion, proceed with this skill. Don't override the user's verb.


Interaction rules

Use AskUserQuestion for every decision point. One decision per call. Do not batch questions as prose.

Decision points, in order:

  1. Model selection — authed models as options plus "Other".
  2. Permission selection — "Read-only", "Implement", "Implement, no shell".

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.

opencode-delegate is a skill published in the GitHub repository khaledzag/claude-opencode (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 250 tokens to every session and 2,002 once invoked, about $0.0013 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.
