How to delegate all AI work to the agent chat. An agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native.

What it does

Delegate To Agent is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. How to delegate all AI work to the agent chat. Use when delegating AI work from UI or scripts to the agent, when a user asks for agent behavior or LLM-powered features, when tempted to add inline LLM calls, or when sending messages to the agent from application code.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Delegating AI work from UI
  • Scripts to the agent
  • A user asks for agent behavior
  • LLM-powered features

Example prompts

  • “/delegate-to-agent”

Requirements

  • A credential in ANALYTICS_A2A_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ANALYTICS_A2A_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Delegate To Agent loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,360 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,360 words (~2,944 tokens).

“The app's default AI surface is the agent chat. Any user-facing work that asks the model to research, analyze, generate, recommend, synthesize, or reason over multiple steps must start or continue in the AgentSidebar so users can see, steer, and…”
