Has the agent carry out an implementation plan itself, task by task in the current session, keeping a ledger, proving each step with a test and ending with one whole-branch review.

delegated-executionA skill your agent uses when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
Delegated Execution is an agent skill from NoobyGains/godmode. Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md`, `implementer-prompt.md` and `spec-reviewer-prompt.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning. The repository describes itself as: The AI development framework that thinks before it builds. 36 composable skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 441103a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are dot).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Delegated Execution loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

A skill your agent uses when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session. Delegated Execution is an agent skill from NoobyGains/godmode.
Delegated Execution fits situations like: executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session; tasks that involve Planning.
Run `npx skills add NoobyGains/godmode --skill delegated-execution -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/delegated-execution in NoobyGains/godmode) into .claude/skills/delegated-execution in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add NoobyGains/godmode --skill delegated-execution -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/delegated-execution in NoobyGains/godmode) into .agents/skills/delegated-execution in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add NoobyGains/godmode --skill delegated-execution -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/delegated-execution, .gemini/skills/delegated-execution, .github/skills/delegated-execution and .opencode/skills/delegated-execution in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Delegated Execution is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Delegated Execution is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Delegated Execution: Executing Plans Inline (obra/superpowers, 297k stars), Interview Me (addyosmani/agent-skills, 103k stars), OpenSpec Guided Onboarding (Fission-AI/OpenSpec, 71k stars) and Writing Plans (geeksblabla/stateofdev.ma, 163 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
NoobyGains (a GitHub user) maintains it in NoobyGains/godmode, which has 107 GitHub stars. The repository holds 34 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on March 9, 2026.
