claude-delegate
Delegate coding tasks to a separate Claude Code CLI process or Claude session only when the user explicitly requests it, while the orchestrator retains review and landing responsibility.
Claude Delegate
When to Use
- You want to delegate a bounded coding task to a separate
claudeimplementer (Claude Code) and then review its diff yourself. - The user explicitly asked for delegation to this implementer.
You are the orchestrator. Delegate one bounded coding task to a separate implementer — a Claude Code CLI session — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; the separate Claude session edits the working tree; you verify and commit.
This skill is not a signal for the current Claude to implement directly. Use it only after the human explicitly asks for delegation to another Claude Code process or session.
When not to use this
- The human asked the current agent to implement the task directly.
- The task is small enough to do inline and the human did not request delegation.
- The
claudeCLI is missing or unauthenticated (claude auth status). - The task needs a stronger host boundary than Claude Code's tool permissions and shell-only sandbox
provide. Use an isolated container or VM for that requirement.
Prerequisites
claude --versionsucceeds.claude auth statusreports an authenticated session. On macOS the live credentials sit in the
login Keychain; when the orchestrator's own sandbox blocks Keychain access (Codex's sandbox does), claude falls back to a possibl
