cline-delegate SKILL.md skillA

cline-delegate from amelnagdy/delegate-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/cline-delegate@v0.5.0

Pins v0.5.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Delegate a coding task to the Cline coding agent CLI (`cline`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to delegate implementation work to Cline - phrasings like "have Cline implement X", "delegate this to cline", "run it through Cline", or "use cline to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Cline while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Cline Delegate

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

The loop needs only a shell command 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.
- The `cline` CLI is not installed or authenticated.
- You require the relay to configure a sandbox. Cline exposes sandbox controls, but this relay
  leaves them to the CLI environment; use `--plan` when the run must be read-only.

## Prerequisites (check once)

1. Install `cline` (npm or bundled binary; the relay probes `cline --version`).
2. Authenticate: run `cline auth` (interactive sign-in), or configure
   `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / an OpenAI-compatible base URL.
3. Confirm `cline --version` succeeds.
4. Work in, or point `--cd` at, the target git repository.

## Choose the model (optional)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/cline-delegate@sha256:07bf94e5212e2353

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
