What it does

Delegation is an agent skill from prassanna-ravishankar/repowire. Use when handing work to another peer, deciding whether to spawn or reuse a peer, briefing a lane, asking for a plan before code, or using a second peer for critique or review.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 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: May the agents talk . Connect Claude Code, Opencode, Codex, Pi across projects, across machines and with your telegram.

When your agent uses it

  • Handing work to another peer
  • Deciding whether to spawn
  • Briefing a lane
  • Asking for a plan before code

Example prompts

  • “/delegation”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7c8100a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Delegation loads about 412 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~412

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 218 words (~412 tokens).

“Use this when giving work to a peer.”
