agentic-delegation

agentic-delegation is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 152 tokens per session (2,441 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 1mo 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

The orchestrator's context window is the scarcest resource in a session. Every file dump, log tail, and grep result read directly is context that can no longer hold the plan, the spec, or the diff under review. Delegation exists to keep that window for judgment.

Opus 5.5 is the daily driver: it is the orchestrator, and it makes the code edits. Reading work goes to cheaper models.

Route each step by the kind of work

Work Who does it Model Effort
Search, recon, mapping call sites, "where does X live" subagent (Explore) haiku; sonnet when interpreting what it finds takes judgment none on Haiku
Reading CI or gate logs, running the gate suite subagent haiku or sonnet none on Haiku
Bulk prose: docs pages, guides, templates, against an exact spec subagent sonnet session level
Code edits: scripts, tests, generators, gates, workflow code, Rust orchestrator, or opus subagents for independent parallel edits Opus 5.5 session level
Architecture, schema shapes, security-sensitive and load-bearing edits orchestrator only Opus 5.5 session level
Verification of delegate output, and the commit orchestrator only Opus 5.5 session level
One task that high has failed twice in the same way orchestrator, after switching model Fable 5.1 then switch back

Search and log-reading are summarization jobs: a cheaper model reads a lot and returns a little, and that is exactly the trade you want. Code edits are the opposite. They are where a subtle mistake costs a CI cycle and a reviewer's trust, and a spec rarely captures every invariant the surrounding code depends on. Keep them on the model that holds the whole plan.

Docs prose is the judgment call in this table. It is not code, so a Sonnet writer with an exact file-scoped spec is still the default. Anything that encodes facts (model names, command flags, API shapes) gets verified by the orchestrator before acceptance, whoever wrote it.

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.
