At a glance

Delegate a bounded implementation, prototype, benchmark, or file artifact to Claude Code, then verify and integrate its completed work.

What it does

Delegate Claude is an agent skill from EpicenterHQ/epicenter. Delegate a bounded implementation, prototype, benchmark, or file artifact to Claude Code, then verify and integrate its completed work. Use when the user explicitly authorizes Claude to own execution. Read-only advice belongs to consult-claude.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first apps.

When your agent uses it

  • The user explicitly authorizes Claude to own execution

Example prompts

  • “/delegate-claude”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9cc65c3. 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:

    • git
    • bun

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Delegate Claude loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,207 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,207 words (~2,351 tokens).

“Claude owns a completed assignment in a dedicated clone. Codex owns continuity, acceptance, and integration. Propose delegation when the work is separable, substantial enough to repay briefing and checking, and has observable acceptance criteria. Useful overlap with Codex's other work…”
