m5-delegate

m5-delegate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Magnus-Gille/claude-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (877 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper for sending a self-contained task to an M5 local model, meaning an AI model running on the user's own server or computer. It selects suitable bounded work and avoids tasks needing broad context or high-risk judgement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for summarising, classifying, extracting information, rewriting, drafting, short reasoning, simple code generation, or local batch jobs.
Why use it?
It can keep suitable work local and reduce use of the main model for short, approximate tasks. It also identifies cases where local delegation is unsafe or unsuitable.

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

m5-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 5d 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.

M5 Local Delegation

Use this skill when local inference is requested or an applicable delegation policy calls for a self-contained leaf. The goal is to save frontier tokens and produce useful real delegation data for the home-server project.

When To Use It

Once activated, suitable leaves include:

  • Summarize, classify, extract, rewrite, draft.
  • Short, bounded reasoning where an approximate answer is acceptable.
  • Single-shot code generation with a clear spec.
  • Batch harnesses that can run on the M5 box itself.

Avoid it:

  • Work needing the full current repo or conversation context.
  • Security-critical reasoning or tasks where a wrong answer is costly to detect.
  • Multi-step code edits unless a caged code-loop style tool is explicitly available.
  • Private content unless it will stay on a local-only path.

Model/Runtime Guidance

  • Prefer a fast non-thinking model such as mellum for short classify/extract/summarize/simple-codegen.
  • Use qwen3-coder-next-80b for harder coding or agentic-coding leaves.
  • Use gemma4 for general or multimodal tasks when relevant.
  • Discover available models and current tool schemas before choosing; the names above are examples, not an availability guarantee. Size output budgets to the task and detect truncated or empty results.
  • Batch independent same-model calls when supported to avoid unnecessary model swaps; measure runtime rather than assuming fixed latency.

Access Paths

Prefer purpose-built MCP tools if they are available in the current agent session, such as list_models, ask, or code_loop_*.

Always pass the cloud delegator model when you know it:

  • MCP ask: include delegator_model_id, for example "delegator_model_id": "openai/gpt-5.5".
  • Direct /delegate: include delegatorModelId, for example "delegatorModelId": "openai/gpt-5.5".
  • Homeserver CLI: pass --delegator <cloud-model-id>.

Use the actual frontier/conductor model for the current task, not a generic default. This is what lets the M5 ledger measure actual savings rather than only premium-baseline savings. If the cloud delegator is unknown, omit the field instead of guessing.

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.

m5-delegate is a skill published in the GitHub repository Magnus-Gille/claude-skills (5 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 877 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-06.
