What it does

Qoder Delegate is an agent skill from amElnagdy/delegate-skills. Delegate a coding task to the Qoder CLI (qodercli) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user asks to have Qoder implement, fix, refactor, or run a queue of coding tasks while the orchestrator remains the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants code written directly without delegation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/dispatch-and-poll.md`, `references/multi-task-queues.md` and `references/review-and-land.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Delegate a coding task to a separate coding agent CLI, review the diff, land the commit yourself — one per implementer. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to have Qoder implement
  • Run a queue of coding tasks while the orchestrator remains the reviewer
  • Tasks small enough to do inline
  • The user wants code written directly without delegation

Example prompts

  • “/qoder-delegate”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in QODER_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Write the brief
  2. Dispatch
  3. Wait for completion
  4. Review - do not trust the self-report
  5. Land it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ef0210. 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/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.qoder.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • QODER_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Qoder Delegate loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 689 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.9k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Qoder Delegate

You are the orchestrator. Delegate one bounded coding task to a separate implementer - Qoder CLI - then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Qoder edits the working tree in its session; you verify and commit.

The loop needs only shell and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.

When NOT to use this

  • The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
  • qodercli is not installed or authenticated.
  • You want to write the code yourself or need only an interactive Qoder session.

Prerequisites (check once)

bash
command -v qodercli
qodercli --version
qodercli --list-models

If the binary is missing, install it from Qoder's official Quick Start. Authenticate with qodercli login, or set QODER_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN for automation. A successful --list-models confirms the current account can return its live model catalog.

Choose model and context window

Qoder's available models can change. If the human requests a model, use its exact current value from qodercli --list-models; never invent or pin a catalog entry. Otherwise omit --model and let Qoder use its current default.

--context-window <n> is optional. Pass a positive integer only when the human requests a size or the task needs an explicit budget. Qoder applies it only to supported models; surface an unsupported model/size error instead of silently choosing another value.

The loop

Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 require judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.

1. Write the brief

Qoder sees the brief plus what it can inspect in the workspace, not this chat. Include the goal, current state, what to change, what to leave untouched, the project's actual gates, and a closing report contract. Tell Qoder not to commit. Keep one task per brief. See references/writing-the-brief.md.

2. Dispatch

Use the bundled relay. It wraps Qoder's non-interactive stream-json mode and writes result.json. <skill-dir> is the installed folder containing this SKILL.md.

bash
node "<skill-dir>/scripts/relay.mjs" --brief brief.txt --cd /path/to/repo
# choose a live model:                 add --model "<value from qodercli --list-models>"
# request a supported context window: add --context-window 32768
# resume the latest session:          add --resume-last  # delta brief only
# resume a specific session:          add --resume <id>  # delta brief only
# see every option:                   node .../relay.mjs --help

Implementation runs default to Qoder's auto permission mode. The relay never bypasses permissions unless the caller explicitly requests it, and it never commits. See references/dispatch-and-poll.md.

3. Wait for completion

The relay blocks until Qoder exits. Run it with the orchestrator's background-command facility, or background it in the shell and wait for result.json. Completion means the process exited and the file contains a status; do not trust a progress display.

A pre-run usage error exits 2 and writes no result. Missing qodercli exits 127 and writes status: "qoder_unavailable" with installation guidance.

Native Windows relay launch is not yet verified; do not claim it until a native Windows smoke passes.

4. Review - do not trust the self-report

Treat Qoder's final message and gate outcomes as claims:

  • Re-run the project's gates yourself.
  • Read the diff against the brief, starting with touchedFiles.
  • Check any --add-dir workspaces separately; their changes are not in the primary tree report.
  • Run relevant guard skills if installed.
  • Round-trip migrations and grep for dangling references after removals or renames.

See references/review-and-land.md.

5. Land it

The implementer edits; the orchestrator commits. Commit only after the gates pass and the diff holds. If rework is needed, send a delta brief with --resume-last or --resume <id>, then review again.

Permission model

Qoder print mode cannot show approval prompts. The relay defaults to auto, which makes non-interactive allow/deny decisions. default can deny actions that would require a prompt; accept_edits permits workspace edits but may deny shell actions; dont_ask fails closed; plan maps to default plus Qoder's Plan work state; and bypass_permissions is for explicitly trusted runs only.

Qoder falls back to default when a non-default mode is requested outside a trusted directory. Check actualPermissionMode in result.json; no requested mode replaces diff review.

Authorization model

Delegation is something the human opts into. Once they ask for it, landing verified, gate-passing work is the contract. Two limits remain: surface, do not absorb (report Qoder's design decisions and non-blocking deviations) and stop for scope changes (ask before expanding beyond the brief). See references/review-and-land.md.
