claude-code-worker skillA

claude-code-worker is agent-read markdown (skill) from uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills: Delegate a bounded coding, review, or research subtask from Codex to Claude Code in an isolated Git worktree, then continue the same Claude session with follow-up turns. Use when the user explicitly asks for Claude/Claude Code delegation, asks to save Codex quota with Claude, or requests a Claude worker that can inspect and edit a repository. Do not use for PHI or credentials, authoritative imaging, source-data mutation, external publication, or a task that cannot safely be isolated; de-identifi.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Claude Code Worker

Use Claude as a write-capable external worker while Codex remains the supervising owner.
The worker is conversational across invocations, but it does not inherit the Codex thread or
native tool state. Give it a compact, self-contained prompt and verify its work yourself.

## Choose Claude Deliberately

Prefer Claude when the task is bounded, isolatable, large enough to repay delegation overhead,
and has objective acceptance checks. It is especially useful for multi-file implementation,
mechanical migration, and repository audit work when Claude quota is cheaper than Codex quota.

Work locally instead for a trivial edit, a task needing frequent interactive decisions, or work
whose main difficulty is supervisor judgment. Do not delegate protected or credential-bearing
content, authoritative imaging, source-data mutation, external publication, frozen execution
state, or any task that cannot be isolated safely. If repeated parent correction dominates the
work, stop delegating that task shape even when Claude quota is free.

## Before Launch

1. Read the repository's applicable `AGENTS.md` and task instructions yourself.
