multi-model-delegation

multi-model-delegation is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,834 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for asking several other language models for design ideas and comparing where their answers disagree. It treats those models as sources of suggestions rather than final decision-makers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to brainstorm designs, gather split answers from other models, compare the differences, and decide between options using the actual project context.
Why use it?
It helps identify design choices that are genuinely uncertain and requires checking them against the codebase instead of trusting a majority vote.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

multi-model-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 2d 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Multi-Model Delegation

Protocol for consulting other models — kimi, glm, gemini, gpt via the PAL MCP gateway (chat, consensus) — on design and judgment work, and for acting on what comes back. The core insight, which inverts the naive approach:

The value is the disagreement, not the union. Two competent models briefed identically converge on the obvious 80% — the part you'd have written anyway. Where they split is a precise pointer at the one decision that is genuinely load-bearing and underdetermined by the prompt. Resolve the split against the codebase — which usually already decided, and which the models structurally cannot see — never by picking the more confident model.

Treat delegated models as idea generators, never as authorities. Taking the majority answer, or the more confident one, launders a coin-flip into a decision that merely looks researched.

You — the orchestrating Claude session — run the whole consult: you dispatch the PAL MCP calls, collect the replies, and do the judgment steps (diff, adjudicate, synthesize) yourself in the main loop.

The Tool Prefix Is Derived, Not Fixed

PAL's tools are reachable as mcp__<server-name>__<tool>, where <server-name> is the key the server is registered under — not the product name, and not the binary. That key can live in any registration scope: a project .mcp.json, a user-scope entry in ~/.claude.json (claude mcp add -s user …, which has no .mcp.json at all), or a local one. So read the registration rather than a file — claude mcp list is authoritative in every scope, and claude mcp get names the scope that owns it:

claude mcp list                 # "pal-mcp-server: pal-mcp-server  - ✔ Connected"
claude mcp get pal-mcp-server   # Scope: Project config (shared via .mcp.json)

With the common registration pal-mcp-server, chat is mcp__pal-mcp-server__chat; a repo that registers the same binary under a different key gets that key in the prefix instead. Every mcp__pal-mcp-server__* name below assumes that registration — substitute the key claude mcp list reports.

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.
