What it does

Delegate Grok is an agent skill from instructa/agent-skills. Delegate a bounded task from a Codex session to Grok 4.6 with xhigh reasoning in the same Herdr workspace, then wait for and collect the result. Use when Codex should ask Grok for a strong independent opinion, read-only review, architecture or debugging analysis, second opinion, or explicitly authorized implementation. Trigger for requests such as "ask Grok", "have Grok review this", "get Grok 4.6 xhigh's opinion", or "let Grok implement this".

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/delegate-grok.sh`).

It sits in Development. It works with xAI Grok. The repository describes itself as: A curated collection of agent-skills.

When your agent uses it

Codex should ask Grok for a strong independent opinion
Read-only review
Debugging analysis
Explicitly authorized implementation

Example prompts

“ask Grok”
“have Grok review this”
“get Grok 4.6 xhigh”
“/delegate-grok”

Requirements

A Bash shell

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Honor --target first, then --target-title. If a requested target is missing or busy, stop instead of falling back.
Without an explicit target, prefer a settled pane titled Grok 4.6 xhigh Reviewer, then reuse another idle Grok agent in the current Herdr…
Start new panes with model grok-4.6 and reasoning effort xhigh, submit the task, wait for settlement, and return visible output.
Leave the Grok pane open for follow-up work.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d49c149. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- bash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 Grok loads about 951 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~951

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 431 words (~951 tokens).
