Delegate a coding task to the Z.AI ZCode CLI as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to ZCode — phrasings like "have ZCode do X", "delegate this to ZCode", "run it through ZCode", or "use ZCode to implement/fix/refactor" — or to run a queue of coding tasks through ZCode while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without…
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
# ZCode Delegate You are the **orchestrator**. This skill lets you hand a bounded coding task to a separate **implementer** — the Z.AI ZCode CLI — then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; ZCode does the typing; you verify and commit. Nothing here is specific to one orchestrating agent. The loop needs only the ability to run a shell command and read a file. (It is designed for and run on Claude Code; treat other orchestrators as designed-for, not yet proven.) ## When NOT to use this - The task is small enough to just do inline — delegation overhead is not worth it. - ZCode is not installed, or its CLI has no model provider configured. - You want to write the code yourself, or you only need a review. ## Prerequisites (check once) 1. **ZCode is installed.** The CLI ships **inside the desktop app** — it is not on PATH and not on npm. The relay resolves it in this order: `--zcode-path <file>` or `ZCODE_CLI` first, then PATH, then the installed app bundle. On Linux the app is an AppImage with no fixed install path, so the flag or the environment variable is required there — the relay guesses nothing. …

How to install
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/zcode-delegate@sha256:e5decc1cfcc378a7The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, 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.
