delegate

delegate is a skill for Claude Code from stefan-jansen/coding-agent-toolkit. It costs 150 tokens per session (1,978 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for sending messages between separate coding-agent sessions, such as sessions in different terminals or worktrees.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate a small task, request progress, share a change, or coordinate work across sessions.
Why use it?
It avoids manually copying status updates, questions, and findings between sessions.

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 14d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (resolve-session.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

delegate — coordinate your other Claude Code sessions

Deliver a piece of text from this session to another of your Claude Code sessions, and drive the delegate/coordinate/monitor loop that a fleet of tmux-pane or git-worktree agents runs on. Two tools do it: ListAgents discovers who you can reach; SendMessage delivers one plain-text message to a peer by name (SendMessage({to: "<name>", message: "..."})).

Full reference: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cross-session-messaging

When to use this vs. something else

Use messaging when a session that already exists and is being steered separately needs one piece of information from this one, or vice versa:

  • Hand over a finding — you changed something that breaks what a peer is building on; warn that peer.
  • Coordinate worktrees — tell the other worktrees what landed on the shared repo.
  • Pull status — ask a long-running migration/test session to report back.
  • Delegate a scoped ask — hand a peer a self-contained unit and collect its reply.

Do not reach for messaging when a purpose-built mechanism fits better:

Need Use instead
Continue one conversation elsewhere / share its context resume the session (--resume, /resume)
A team of agents THIS session spawns and supervises subagents (Agent tool) / agent teams
Push external events (CI, chat) into a session channels
Steer a session yourself from another device Remote Control

A message carries only its text — never conversation history or files. If the peer needs your context, resume it; don't try to narrate the whole session into a message.

Preflight (once per session, when a send fails or peers look missing)

claude --version          # need >= 2.1.224 (>= 2.1.232 for @-mention + /config row)
# messaging live iff the socket is bound:
[ -n "$CLAUDE_CODE_MESSAGING_SOCKET" ] && echo "messaging on" || echo "messaging OFF"

If /list-agents isn't recognized, the session predates the feature (v2.1.224). Same-machine messaging no longer depends on feature-flag fetching, so telemetry and nonessential-traffic env vars do not turn it off.

Changes

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 stefan-jansen/coding-agent-toolkit (33 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 150 tokens to every session and 1,978 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
