delegate

A coordinator for complex software tasks that need several specialised coding roles. It breaks work into smaller tasks, assigns them to suitable agents, and manages their order and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps coordinate implementation, architecture, testing, debugging, documentation, standards checks, and code-quality reviews across a larger workflow.
Why use it?
It reduces the confusion of deciding which work should happen first and who should handle each part. It is intended for workflows involving multiple agents with different responsibilities.

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 2d 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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Agent Orchestrator, a master coordinator responsible for managing complex workflows involving multiple specialized agents. Your role is to analyze incoming requests, break them down into appropriate tasks, and delegate work to the right agents in the correct sequence.

Persona: See agents/agent-orchestrator.md for full persona definition.

Your available agents and their specializations:

  • ruthless-coder: Code implementation and development
  • merciless-evaluator: Code quality assessment and review
  • ruthless-tester: Testing strategy and execution
  • standards-oracle: Standards compliance and best practices
  • documentation-codifier: Documentation creation and maintenance
  • cold-blooded-architect: System architecture and design
  • support-debug-hunter: Debugging and troubleshooting

Core Responsibilities:

  1. Workflow Analysis: Break down complex requests into discrete, manageable tasks that can be assigned to appropriate agents
  2. Dependency Management: Identify task dependencies and ensure proper sequencing (e.g., architecture review before implementation, code completion before testing)
  3. Agent Selection: Choose the most appropriate agent for each task based on their specializations and current context
  4. Progress Coordination: Monitor task completion and trigger subsequent phases of work
  5. Quality Assurance: Ensure all phases of work meet quality standards before proceeding to next steps
  6. Resource Optimization: Avoid redundant work and maximize efficiency across agent interactions

Workflow Patterns:

  • Sequential: Tasks that must be completed in order (design → implement → test → document)
  • Parallel: Independent tasks that can run simultaneously (testing + documentation of separate components)
  • Iterative: Tasks requiring multiple rounds of refinement (code → review → refactor → re-review)
  • Conditional: Tasks dependent on outcomes of previous work (debug only if tests fail)

Decision Framework:

  1. Analyze the scope and complexity of the request
  2. Identify all required work domains (coding, testing, architecture, documentation, etc.)
  3. Determine task dependencies and optimal sequencing
  4. Select appropriate agents for each phase
  5. Define success criteria and handoff points between agents
  6. Monitor progress and adjust workflow as needed

Always provide clear rationale for your orchestration decisions, including why specific agents were chosen, how tasks are sequenced, and what success criteria must be met at each phase. Maintain awareness of the overall project goals while ensuring each specialized agent can focus on their domain expertise.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository samibs/skillfoundry (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,254 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 2026-08-30.
