What it does
Delegate is an agent skill from terrense/LilBot-agent. Use subagents to split exploration, implementation, review, and verification work.
Its SKILL.md is about 150 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: Try to make a personal assistant based on agent tech and harness engineering stuff.
Example prompts
- “/delegate”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Open explore agents for independent evidence gathering.
- Open plan when the implementation path is unclear.
- Open implementer only after the desired change is specific.
- Open review or verifier to check the result.
- Merge child results by citing evidence, changes, risks, and blockers.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 32be16c. 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
Delegate loads about 146 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 69 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.
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 69 words (~146 tokens).

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add terrense/LilBot-agent --skill delegate -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/delegate, .gemini/skills/delegate, .github/skills/delegate and .opencode/skills/delegate in your project.
What does Delegate need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Delegate is instructions for the agent only.
