delegate-work skillA

delegate-work is agent-read markdown (skill) from flurdy/agent-skills: Coordinate bounded delegation for non-trivial work when independent investigation, separated implementation and review, or separable workstreams materially improve latency, context, or confidence. Decline trivial, tightly coupled, or serial work..

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

# Delegate Work

Coordinate bounded delegated work while keeping outcome, scope, judgment,
integration, and final validation in the parent agent. Delegation is an execution
mechanism, not a transfer of authority.

This skill is a conservative delegation workflow, not a persistent or fully adaptive
scheduler — by decision, not as an interim step. See [`README.md`](README.md) for
current maturity and the scope decision behind it.

## Tier guard

This skill is `model-tier: premium`. Before starting, check the current model. If it
is below the runtime's premium tier, say so and use the runtime's native
user-question mechanism (`AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code) to offer:

- **Continue here** — accept reduced coordination depth for this run.
- **Stop** — switch to a premium model and invoke the skill again.

If the runtime cannot expose the effective model, say so and ask whether to continue
with an unverified tier; never claim that the premium guard passed. Skip the prompt
when the user explicitly selected the current model. On a verified premium model,
stay silent. This guard checks capability; parent-route cost confirmation remains the
…
