delegating-with-context SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
delegating-with-context from oaustegard/claude-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/delegating-with-context@v0.3.0Pins v0.3.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Delegates work to a subagent or spawned session by writing only the task, while a PreToolUse hook pages the parent transcript through Jev and appends the chunks that task needs. Use before writing any Agent tool prompt or create_session prompt, and when asked to delegate this, hand this off, use a subagent, spawn an agent, run agents in parallel, or brief a subagent on what we have done so far.
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
# Delegating with context Writing a background brief for a subagent costs output tokens, generation time, and fidelity: exact paths, error strings and numbers get paraphrased or dropped, and the brief omits what the orchestrator did not know mattered. The `context_hook.py` PreToolUse hook removes the need. It reads the session transcript, asks Jev which chunks the task needs, and appends those chunks to the subagent's prompt verbatim. The hook fires after the prompt is written, so it cannot save a brief you already wrote. The saving happens here, before the tool input exists. ## Procedure 1. **Check the hook is live.** `test -s ~/.claude/context-filter-log.jsonl && tail -1 ~/.claude/context-filter-log.jsonl` shows the last filtered delegation. No file on a first delegation is normal; the hook's reply after your first Agent call confirms it (step 5). Where the hook is not wired (claude.ai, a machine without the settings entry), stop here and write a normal brief. 2. **Preview what the filter would pass.** One call, all tasks at once: ```bash python3 /mnt/skills/user/delegating-with-context/scripts/preview.py \ …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/delegating-with-context@sha256:d9222a62fcd08b17The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.3.0, 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.
