bounded-delegation SKILL.md skillA
bounded-delegation from n-n-code/n-n-code-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add n-n-code/n-n-code-skills/bounded-delegation@git:20261101.b825530Pins git:20261101.b825530 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Delegate bounded factual file analysis or reference-based code and test generation through available workers, with explicit ownership, limits, and acceptance checks. Use when a narrow read or predictable generation task benefits from offloading. Not a default for every coding task, open-ended diagnosis, general context management, or installing a routing service.
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
# Bounded delegation Own the assignment and return protocol for narrow reading and predictable generation. The responsible agent retains the surrounding decisions and acceptance. This is a process overlay, not a worker runtime or permission gate. ## Choose the execution path Start with the available project tools. Targeted search, partial reads, structured queries, or an existing generator can be cheaper and more reliable than another model. File length alone does not justify delegation. Consider a worker when the useful result is much smaller than the material it must inspect, or substantial generation follows an explicit specification and representative examples. Inspect the actual worker interface, access, supported inputs, model selection, and observable limits. Use existing authorized capabilities; do not install a service, change global configuration, or assume a model is cheaper from its name. When supported, give the worker a fresh, minimal task context instead of the full conversation. Include applicable instructions and constraints. A worker without shared file access needs an authorized input transfer, not inaccessible paths. …

How to install
mdr add n-n-code/n-n-code-skills/bounded-delegation@sha256:b999ea98dacc628dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.b825530, 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.
