Sets delegation scope, completion waiting, and evidence-based intervention. Use when spawning, waiting for, or steering any subagent, including a single ad hoc agent or a custom workflow agent.
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
# Subagent Delegation Apply this skill before delegating work or managing a running subagent. It covers both custom agents and agents created for the current task. Delegation gives the child a responsibility and the authority to complete it from an isolated context. Pass only the task's minimum input contract; preloading the parent's conclusions, target list, or classifications turns delegation into confirmation work, suppresses independent judgment, and defeats context isolation. ## Assignment Give the child its expected outcome, scope, governing inputs required by its input contract, and the result needed by the next consumer. Pass each source (the user's words, a governing artifact, a review finding, another agent's result) by its path or copied unchanged, and label the parent's own decisions as the parent's. The sources already make the child self-contained, so this takes precedence over writing a delegation prompt out in full: text the parent writes about a source, such as a restatement, summary, reading list, added constraint, estimate, or advice, reaches the child as a requirement no user confirmed and no reviewer checked. It drifts from the source, changes scope… …

How to install
mdr add shinpr/codex-workflows/subagent-delegation@sha256:15b3e136ff7170abThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.2a1d2f6, 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.
