delegate

delegate is a skill for Claude Code from mifunedev/openharness. It costs 81 tokens per session (3,696 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coordinator for splitting a larger coding plan into dependent tasks and assigning them to separate worker agents. It runs independent tasks in parallel, then checks and reports the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute an existing plan, delegate coding work, or run several independent tasks in parallel while respecting their dependencies.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually break up work and manage which tasks can run at the same time. It also keeps one failed task from stopping unrelated tasks.

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 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 1mo 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 — 323 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Delegate

Parallel execution coordinator. Read a plan or conversation context, decompose it into a dependency-ordered task graph, and spawn worker sub-agents in parallel waves. Each wave completes before the next begins. Results are collected, validated, and reported.

Core principle: maximize parallelism while respecting dependencies absolutely.

When a worker is justified

Use a worker only when the task is self-contained and gains from parallelism, isolated context, restricted tools, or containment of verbose disposable output. Keep work in the active session when phases share substantial context or require iterative refinement.

A worker is a bounded execution context, not a project role. The active coding agent is the runtime and stays the owner of the work; skills — /architect, /spec, /audit, /retro — are how it adopts a role. Delegation buys isolation or parallelism and nothing else.

Delegate it Keep it in the active session
Independent parallel research or source sweeps Planning, implementation, and testing that share one evolving picture
Verbose disposable output — logs, search dumps, test runs Work that needs iterative refinement against operator feedback
Disjoint file ownership with no shared mutable state Two tasks that touch the same file
A deliberate tool or permission restriction Anything whose result you would have to re-derive to use

Do not invent named architectural roles for workers. /delegate owns fan-out policy; other skills must not grow a competing worker hierarchy beside it.

Worker model and thinking policy

Apply this policy to every worker:

  1. Inherit the parent/session model by default. Omit the Agent tool's model argument. Do not route routine or simple work to a weaker model tier.
  2. Set the Agent tool's thinking parameter from task complexity: simple/mechanical → low, standard → medium, complex → high, and architecture or debugging with substantial uncertainty → xhigh. Supported levels are off, minimal, low, medium, high, and xhigh; never use max.
  3. If the selected thinking level is unsupported by the inherited model/provider, use the nearest supported level. Do not switch models merely to obtain a thinking level.
  4. Override model only with an explicit task-specific reason: an operator request, an unavailable required capability/context, a strict latency or budget constraint, or local benchmark evidence. Record that reason in the task graph and pass the override only for that worker.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository mifunedev/openharness (37 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 3,696 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
