offload SKILL.md skillA

offload from haiggoh/free-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/offload@git:20261107.8f39f44

Pins git:20261107.8f39f44 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when PLANNING or decomposing ANY multi-step task, and whenever your plan involves reading, searching, summarizing, transforming, drafting, extracting, or editing across files — regardless of whether cost is mentioned. Routes delegatable work to a $0 lane — a LOCAL model or a REMOTE free API — instead of cloud tokens, choosing per task between a stateless dispatch (one request: review/extraction/drafting/cross-check; inputs via "files" since a dispatch cannot read the disk), a headless free…

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

# offload — send the legwork to a $0 lane (local model or remote free API)

The biggest cost saving in Claude Code is not a cheaper cloud model — it's **$0 compute on a free
lane**. Keep a capable cloud model for judgment; delegate bulk/mechanical legwork to a free lane —
a local model (private, unlimited) or a remote free API (bigger models) — via dispatch. This applies
with or without a spending cap.

**Already on a FREE session?** (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` is `localhost` — check the endpoint, never a
label or a document.) Offloading then saves no money; the reason that still holds is QUALITY: an
adversarial review or independent cross-check from a different model family (see *Council routing*)
often finds what this session's own model misses.

## ⛔ READ THIS FIRST — the built-in `Agent` tool CANNOT reach a free model

In a CLOUD (paid) session, `Agent`/`Task` accepts only first-party paid tiers; `model="local"` or
`"free"` is rejected, and **omitting `model` runs a FULL-PRICE subagent** — the illusion of
delegation. (Exceptions since 0.27.0: inside a FREE session, subagents already run on that free
endpoint; and with `FA_REPLACE_AGENTS=1` a hook redirects a cloud `Agent` call to
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/offload@sha256:958e0780e336721c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.8f39f44, 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.
