delegate-manager-to-subagents

delegate-manager-to-subagents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vosslab/vosslab-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (562 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A management guide for carrying out an already-approved plan with subagents. It keeps the plan as the source of truth while coordinating implementation, review, testing, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign atomic tasks, run independent work in parallel, review changes separately from implementation, collect handoffs, and track remaining risks.
Why use it?
It prevents delegated work from losing track of scope, dependencies, ownership, or verification requirements.

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-manager-to-subagents 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 9d 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.

Manage delegated execution

Plan leads

The approved plan defines the work: task text, scope, dependencies, sequence, ownership, verification, and acceptance criteria. Preserve those decisions. Use this skill for delegation choices the plan leaves open.

Manager role

  • Track plan tasks and dependencies.
  • Assign all file changes to subagents.
  • Read reports and diffs.
  • Dispatch follow-up work.
  • Keep ready tasks moving.
  • Summarize completion and residual risk.

Delegation practices

  • Give each atomic task one owner and one clear outcome.
  • Use a fresh subagent for each task.
  • Dispatch independent ready tasks in parallel when the plan allows.
  • Follow plan dependencies for sequential work.
  • Preserve the plan's task text in each brief.
  • Include the context, ownership boundary, and verification needed for that task.
  • Use the plan's verification commands. When the plan leaves testing open in a pytest repository, run pytest tests/.
  • Require handoffs to name changed files, commands run, results, concerns, and residual risks.
  • Assign implementation and review to separate subagents.
  • Ground reviewer findings in the diff, plan, and verification evidence.
  • Send review findings to an implementation subagent, then obtain an independent re-review.

Flexible task brief

Use the plan's own structure. A useful brief usually contains:

  • Plan path and task text.
  • Relevant context and dependencies.
  • Owned files or behavior.
  • Plan-defined verification and expected handoff evidence.

Workflow

  1. Read the approved plan.
  2. Track its tasks and dependencies.
  3. Dispatch ready tasks with the plan text preserved.
  4. Review each report and diff.
  5. Dispatch independent review at the points defined by the plan or before accepting changed work.
  6. Dispatch fixes and re-review until the plan's acceptance criteria pass.
  7. Report completed tasks, verification results, and residual risks.

Completion

Complete a task when its plan-defined outcome and verification pass and independent review accepts the resulting change. Complete the plan when every required task meets those conditions.

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.
