delegate-coding-agent

delegate-coding-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manishiitg/llm-provider-mcp. It costs 52 tokens per session (913 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for sending coding tasks to another locally available coding-agent program. It matches the task with a model suited to difficult reasoning, ordinary implementation, or small bounded jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture work, debugging, security-sensitive changes, feature implementation, tests, focused edits, repository searches, and reviews.
Why use it?
It helps decide which available agent and model should handle a task, while requiring the main agent to check the result afterward. Model availability can change.

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-coding-agent 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 7d 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 — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Delegate Coding Agent

Choose the smallest capable model, delegate a precise task, and verify the result in the host session.

Choose a Route

Call list_coding_agents, then call list_coding_agent_models for the selected provider. Treat the live catalog and the user's preference as authoritative; model names and account availability can change.

Route Use for Current examples
Powerful Ambiguous architecture, cross-module debugging, security-sensitive work, difficult planning, or final review of high-risk changes Codex gpt-5.5; Claude claude-opus-5; Pi google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview or zai/glm-5.3
Balanced Normal feature work, refactors, tool-heavy implementation, bug investigation, and tests Codex gpt-5.4; Claude claude-sonnet-5; Cursor composer-2.5; Pi google/gemini-3.7-flash, minimax/MiniMax-M3, or moonshotai/kimi-k3
Fast Mechanical edits, focused UI iteration, simple test fixes, repository search, summaries, and other bounded work with objective checks Codex gpt-5.3-codex-spark; Claude claude-haiku-4-5-20251001; Pi google/gemini-3.5-flash-lite

Use these as routing hints, not benchmark rankings. Prefer auto when the user has no model preference and provider-native routing is more useful than a fixed model.

Delegate

  1. Decide whether delegation is worth the startup and verification overhead. Keep tiny tasks in the host session.
  2. Select a provider and model from the live tools. Use a powerful route when requirements or correctness are uncertain; use a balanced or fast route only when the task is bounded and independently verifiable.
  3. Give delegate_coding_agent one clear outcome. Include the allowed scope, constraints, non-goals, relevant verification commands, and the expected response.
  4. Pass the current trusted project root as working_dir automatically. Do not ask the user to enter it.
  5. Record the returned job_id. The delegation is asynchronous.
  6. Call get_coding_agent_job only after poll_after_seconds. Continue until the status is completed, failed, cancelled, or timed_out.
  7. Keep ordinary polling lightweight. When the user asks what is happening or progress appears stale, call get_coding_agent_job with include_terminal_output: true to receive the bounded plain-text tmux tail. Use tmux_capture_command only for deeper history.
  8. Read the terminal result, inspect the actual diff, and run relevant tests before reporting completion.

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-coding-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository manishiitg/llm-provider-mcp (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 913 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
