delegate

delegate is a skill for Claude Code from PyModel/claude-architect. It costs 47 tokens per session (5,563 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled way to send a versioned coding specification to Claude Architect, have the result independently checked, and accept only the approved changes. A producer is the worker that writes the code; its output remains a candidate until reviewed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate an implementation task, choose or manage a producer, and review the exact code candidate before it crosses the acceptance boundary.
Why use it?
It separates writing code from checking and accepting it, reducing the chance that unverified changes are integrated into a project.

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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Delegate

PROTOCOL_VERSION: 3.0.0

The current session is the architect: it owns requirements, the Delegation Spec, Producer selection, review, and acceptance. Producers are untrusted — their output is only a candidate until the runtime freezes it, independently verifies it, and the architect reviews the exact anchored bytes.

Always present this skill as /architect:delegate. Never show a shorter command.

Superpowers across the trust boundary

When the upstream Superpowers plugin is available, keep its host-loop skills on the architect side: brainstorming before freezing the Delegation Spec, writing-plans to turn an agreed design into objectively checkable work or slices, verification-before-completion before recording a decision. Generic executing-plans and subagent-driven-development may coordinate architect-owned non-writing analysis only, never a writing task.

To execute any multi-task plan that writes files, use /architect:subagent-driven-delegation: the Superpowers subagent-driven-development loop — ledger, per-task brief, per-task review, final whole-branch review — with the delegation lifecycle below replacing the generic implementer subagent. No skill grants a Producer permission to plan instead of editing, dispatch nested agents, review itself, accept a candidate, or integrate bytes. Without the plugin, proceed without those skills rather than approximating them.

Edit-lane Producers receive a deliberately smaller, vendored procedure subset:

  • test-driven-development for every behavior change or bug fix, before implementation code;
  • systematic-debugging when a test, build, or behavior fails unexpectedly, before proposing a fix;
  • verification-before-completion before claiming success.

The runtime supplies these by absolute path inside each isolated attempt. Never put architect-only skills in the Delegation Spec or tell a Producer to discover skills from the operator's home directory. Vendored from obra/superpowers 6.2.0, MIT.

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 PyModel/claude-architect (31 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 5,563 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
