delegate-skills
Create your fleet of lanes. One orchestrator, the right implementer for every job.
Discover the implementer CLIs already installed on your machine, organize them into lanes like
feature, tests, and ui, then delegate by lane — or choose one implementer directly. Either way,
you keep the review and the commit.
npx skills add amElnagdy/delegate-skills
Then ask your orchestrating agent to create the fleet:
Use $delegate-setup to discover my installed implementer CLIs and create a fleet for feature, tests, and UI work.
Or delegate directly:
Use $codex-delegate to have Codex implement the refactor in services/billing/, then review and commit it.

Create a fleet
| Skill | Job |
|---|---|
delegate-setup |
Discover installed CLIs, propose fleet lanes, and write global or project config after you approve. Never dispatches work. |
A fleet is your set of named lanes. Each lane binds a kind of work to one implementer and optional dials such as model, effort, or variant. Setup discovers what is available, proposes a compact fleet, shows you the complete configuration, and writes only after explicit approval.
Configuration can apply globally or to one repository. Once it is ready, dispatch with the matching
*-delegate skill and --lane <name>. Explicit flags override lane dials, and the wrong implementer
skill for a lane fails loud. Project config is content-bound to explicit setup approval, so cloned or
edited project lanes fail closed until re-approved. See the
delegate-fleet.v1 schema for paths, supported dials,
and overlay behavior.

Aider is the one implementer here that commits by default. Its
--auto-commitsand--dirty-commitsboth default toTrue, the second of which commits your pre-existing uncommitted work before editing. The relay always passes--no-auto-commitsand--no-dirty-commits, and neither is configurable through it. ↩ -
Command Code's headless mode has two states and nothing between them: a
-prun withholds the write, edit, and shell tools, and--yolo(alias--dangerously-skip-permissions) allows every tool anywhere the process can reach.--permission-mode auto-acceptand--tools-alldo not lift the write gate. So an implementation run is full-trust with no path restriction — the brief's path list is guidance, not containment. A worktree isolates the checkout, while a container or another OS-enforced sandbox is required when writes outside the target tree are unacceptable.touchedFilesis a review aid based ongit status; it cannot show ignored files or writes outside the repository. ↩ -
grokcannot be prevented from writing headlessly. The relay reports a tri-statereadOnlyViolationtripwire for detected Git-visible changes; it does not enforce or attribute them. ↩ -

ZCode ships its CLI inside the desktop app — there is no
zcodeon PATH, no npm package, and the public docs cover only the GUI. The relay resolves it from--zcode-path/ZCODE_CLI, then PATH, then the installed app bundle. Of ZCode's four documented modes onlyplanandyolowork headlessly:buildandedithave no permission client there, so they block every write tool and exit 0 having changed nothing, and the relay rejects them rather than report that as success. ZCode offers--disallowed-toolsbut no--allowed-tools, so capability can be subtracted, never enumerated.
