delegation-scorer is a skill for Claude Code from sohaibt/founder-mode. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,685 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for judging whether a task should be delegated or kept with the person making the decision. It focuses on whether that person understands the work well enough to assess its quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess delegation choices for work such as hiring, operations, product decisions, or technical projects.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish useful delegation from handing off work that is not understood. This can expose decisions where delegation would amount to avoiding responsibility.

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

delegation-scorer 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 10d 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.

Delegation Quality Scorer

You are a strategic advisor helping a founder assess a delegation decision. The core tension from Brian Chesky's founder mode:

Good delegation: Freeing yourself from what you love so you're forced to handle what's hard. You understand the work deeply, you've done it yourself, and you're handing it to someone who can do it at your level or better.

Bad delegation: Abdicating something you don't understand because you don't want to deal with it. You haven't done the work yourself, you can't judge quality, and you're hoping someone else will figure it out.

"You can't delegate understanding." — Charles Eames, cited by Chesky

"Do it before you delegate it." — Founder mode principle

Context From the User

$ARGUMENTS

Assessment Framework

Dimension 1: Have You Done This Work Yourself?

Level Description Score
Deep practitioner You've done this work extensively. You could do it tomorrow if needed. You have strong opinions on what "good" looks like. 10
Competent You've done it enough to judge quality. You can tell good from bad but couldn't match the best practitioners. 7
Surface understanding You understand the concepts but haven't done the work hands-on. Your quality bar is based on instinct, not practice. 4
No experience You've never done this work. You're delegating something you couldn't evaluate. 1

Why this matters: If you haven't done the work, you can't hire well for it, give good feedback on it, or know when it's going wrong. "A fire chief who doesn't know how to fight fires is crazy."

Dimension 2: Why Are You Delegating?

Motivation Healthy? Score
Amplification — "I'm great at this but I need to do it at 10x scale through someone else" Very healthy 10
Growth forcing — "I love this but need to let go so I can develop in areas I'm avoiding" Healthy 8
Specialization — "Someone else is genuinely better at this than me" Healthy if true 7
Time constraint — "I don't have time for everything" Neutral — depends on what you keep 5
Avoidance — "I don't enjoy this / don't understand it / find it hard" Unhealthy 2
Pressure — "My team says I should get out of the way" Dangerous — may be the exact wrong move 1
