project-delegation

project-delegation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from netdata/ai-viewer. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using helper AI agents during software work. It limits them to focused, read-only investigation or summaries while the main assistant keeps ownership of plans, code, tests, and commits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect files, investigate separate questions in parallel, or produce concise summaries before implementation.
Why use it?
It avoids splitting implementation across agents in ways that make ownership and verification unclear. It helps gather information from many files or parallel questions without giving up control of the 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

project-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 4d 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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Delegation

The Rule

The CTO owns implementation. Helper subagents are optional tools for bounded investigation or summarization. They do not own code, tests, plans, commits, or reviews.

Use helpers when:

  • many files need read-only inspection;
  • independent investigations can run in parallel;
  • a concise evidence summary would preserve master context;
  • the task is exploratory and has a clear, bounded question.

Do not use helpers when:

  • the CTO has not yet done the core thinking;
  • the task is normal implementation work;
  • the output would be accepted without local verification;
  • the job is an external reviewer gate. Use project-second-opinions for that.

What "Production Code" Means Here

Files that go into a release artifact or affect runtime behavior:

  • cmd/**/*.go
  • internal/**/*.go
  • frontend/src/**
  • frontend/tests/**
  • scripts/*.sh once they are used in CI
  • .github/workflows/**
  • Any SQL migration

The CTO may edit production code directly after the spec/test/code workflow allows it. This skill is not a restriction on direct implementation.

Available Subagent Types

The Agent tool exposes specialized subagent types. For ai-viewer work:

Subagent type When to use
general-purpose Broad read-only investigation or summarization when specialized helpers are not needed. Not the default code producer.
Explore read-only search; "where is X defined", "which files reference Y", quick file-by-pattern lookups. Bounded; doesn't read whole files.
Plan Optional plan critique or decomposition input. CTO owns the plan.
code-reviewer Local helper review for quick feedback. This does not replace external reviewer gates.
code-simplifier Optional readability suggestions. CTO verifies before editing.
typescript-pro Optional TypeScript/type-system advice for frontend/. CTO owns any edits.
deep-research multi-source research (online docs, mirrored repos, RFCs) when planning a new feature or adapter.

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.

project-delegation is a skill published in the GitHub repository netdata/ai-viewer (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,307 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.
