delegate-to-jazz

delegate-to-jazz is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lvndry/jazz. It costs 102 tokens per session (2,059 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for sending a self-contained task to one of your local Jazz agents through the Jazz command-line tool. It helps choose an agent based on cost, location, model ability, or specialty, then returns the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for listing available Jazz agents, preparing a task prompt, dispatching the task, and relaying the response.
Why use it?
It keeps the current coding agent from doing every task itself and lets you match simple or difficult work to a suitable agent.

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

delegate-to-jazz 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 15d 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.

Delegate to Jazz

Hand a self-contained task to one of the user's local Jazz agents through the jazz CLI. The point of delegation is choosing a different model per task: a local agent for free offline work, a nano/mini agent for high-volume mechanical work, a frontier agent for hard problems, a specialist persona for the tone the job needs.

The current agent (Claude Code, Codex, or any other harness) only picks the agent and relays the result. It does not do the delegated work itself.

Workflow

  • 1. Enumerate agents
  • 2. Let the user pick (or confirm your pick)
  • 3. Draft a self-contained prompt
  • 4. Dispatch with jazz run
  • 5. Relate the result back

1. Enumerate agents

Always re-enumerate at delegation time — the local agent config changes, and a name that worked yesterday may not exist today.

jazz agent list --json

Build a compact table from the agents array (fields: name, id, provider, model, persona, reasoning). Report entries under problems — those agents exist but have broken config (unknown provider or reasoning level) and cannot be delegated to.

2. Pick the agent

The user picks. Present the table with a one-line hint per candidate: what the provider/model is, local (free, offline) vs hosted (costs tokens), persona, and reasoning level. Then ask the user to choose by name.

Only skip the question when the user already named a specific agent or gave a clear preference ("use the cheapest", "use something local"). In that case make your pick, state it and why in one line, and proceed — a wrong pick costs one run, a blocking question costs a round trip.

Heuristics for suggesting candidates:

  • Free / offline / air-gapped → agents with provider of vllm, llamacpp, or ollama.
  • Cheap, mechanical, high-volume (rename files, summarize, extract, format) → nano/mini-class models, *openrouter/free* or orcarouter/free models.
  • Hard reasoning, long context, high stakes → frontier models, higher reasoning levels (high, xhigh).
  • Tone or role matters → match persona to the job.
  • eval-* agents exist for the eval harness; suggest them only if the user means eval work.
  • Duplicate names (two agents can share a name): disambiguate by provider/model, and always dispatch by the agent's id when names collide.

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.

delegate-to-jazz is a skill published in the GitHub repository lvndry/jazz (54 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 2,059 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-10-02.
