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

Brief a subagent with dekko's map before dispatching it into a repo that has a `.dekko/` directory. Trigger before any Agent/Task tool call, Workflow `agent()`, teammate message, or scripted `claude -p` run that will explore, review, implement, or test in such a repo. A subagent starts with an empty context and no session-start orientation, so without a brief it re-explores from scratch with grep and whole-file reads; one budgeted dekko digest in the prompt replaces that, and telling it the…
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
# Briefing subagents with dekko The parent session was oriented at start-up; a subagent never is. It doesn't know the repo has a map, so it greps, reads whole files, and spends its first several thousand tokens rebuilding a picture the map already holds. Fix both halves in the prompt: give it the digest, and tell it to use the tools. ## Procedure 1. **Compute the digest once, scoped to the task.** Run it in Bash and paste the output verbatim; don't summarize it by hand. | Agent's job | Paste | Budget | |---|---|---| | Explore, answer questions, locate code | `dekko orient --budget 800` | ~800 tokens; ~1200 on a repo with more than ~10 top-level directories | | Implement or review a change | `dekko workset [REV] --budget 2000` (or `--symbol <sym>`), with `--task "<what the agent must do>"` | 1500-3000; the 6000 default is sized for the parent, not a brief | | Work on one symbol or file | `dekko context <sym> --budget 800` or `dekko outline <path>` | ~800 | | Several agents on one subtree each | one `dekko orient` for all, plus `dekko outline <dir>` per agent | orient once, outline ~500 each | …

How to install
mdr add aahlijia/dekko/dekko-delegate@sha256:66e62fadb1ad0d51The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.bab3b36, 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.
