agentic-delegation

agentic-delegation is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,545 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for splitting repository work between lower-cost exploration agents, bulk-writing agents, and the main coordinating agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a multi-step repository task to investigate files, map code, write repetitive content, and verify the final changes.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary work by assigning file searches and repetitive writing to specialized helpers while keeping design, security-sensitive edits, and commits under central review.

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

agentic-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 11d 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.

Agentic Delegation

Doctrine

Most tasks in this repo decompose into cheap, parallelizable work plus a small amount of work that genuinely needs the orchestrator's judgment. Default to delegating the former. Before doing multi-step work yourself, ask: can a cheaper model do this step just as well?

a) Exploration and reconnaissance → Haiku

  • Use the Explore agent type with model: haiku for read-only reconnaissance: locating files, grepping for symbols, mapping call sites, summarizing existing structure.
  • Scope each Explore task tightly — one question, one area of the tree. Do not send an Explore agent an open-ended "understand the whole system" ask; split it into targeted sweeps instead.
  • Require file:line citations in every finding. A report without exact paths and line numbers is not actionable — re-run it with a tighter prompt rather than accepting it.

b) Bulk writing → Sonnet

  • Route bulk writing — docs, guides, boilerplate, test scaffolding, repetitive multi-file edits — to Sonnet subagents.
  • Give each writing task a precise spec: exact file paths to create or edit, the content shape expected, and which repo conventions to mirror (frontmatter shape, heading structure, existing tone).
  • Hard-constrain every writing delegate:
    • Files it may touch — list them explicitly; nothing outside that list.
    • Linters/gates it must pass — e.g. npx markdownlint-cli2, codespell, or the schema/validation gate relevant to the files it is touching.
    • No commits — delegates write files; only the orchestrator commits.

Orchestrator requirements

  • Haiku must never be the orchestrator. It explores and runs gates; it does not plan, decompose, or accept work.
  • When Sonnet is the orchestrator, run it at high reasoning effort at minimum — use the harness's maximum-thinking mode where available. Planning and delegation quality degrade below that, and a weak plan wastes every delegate downstream.
  • The model split in this skill is unchanged by who orchestrates: even a Sonnet orchestrator routes bulk writing to Sonnet subagents — the benefit is keeping the orchestrator's context clean for judgment, not just the per-token price.

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.
