How do I install the Delegation Core skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add majiayu000/delegation-core-3 in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Delegation Core safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: reads secrets. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Delegation Core?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Delegation Core free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Delegation Core

Delegate tasks to external LLM services (Gemini, Qwen) with quota, logging, and error handling. Triggers: delegate task, external LLM, gemini, qwen, large context, offload Use when: tasks exceed context window or need cheaper processing DO NOT use when: task requires Claude's reasoning.

Delegation Core Framework

Overview

A method for deciding when and how to delegate tasks to external LLM services. The core principle: delegate execution, retain high-level reasoning.

When to Use

Before invoking any external LLM for task assistance.
When operations are token-heavy and exceed local context limits.
When batch processing benefits from different model characteristics.
When tasks require routing between models.

Philosophy

Delegate execution, retain reasoning:

Claude handles: Architecture, strategy, design, and review.
External LLMs perform: Data processing, pattern extraction, bulk operations, summarization.

Delegation Flow

Task Assessment: Classify task by complexity and context size.
Suitability Evaluation: Check prerequisites and service fit.
Handoff Planning: Formulate request and document plan.
Execution & Integration: Run delegation, validate, and integrate results.

Quick Decision Matrix

Complexity	Context	Recommendation
High	Any	Keep local
Low	Large	Delegate
Low	Small	Either

High Complexity: Architecture, design decisions, trade-offs, creative problem solving.

Low Complexity: Pattern counting, bulk extraction, boilerplate generation, summarization.

Detailed Workflow Steps

1. Task Assessment (`delegation-core:task-assessed`)

Classify your task:

See modules/task-assessment.md for classification criteria.
Use token estimates to determine thresholds.
Apply the decision matrix.

Exit Criteria: Task classified with complexity level, context size, and delegation recommendation.

2. Suitability Evaluation (`delegation-core:delegation-suitability`)

Verify prerequisites:

See modules/handoff-patterns.md for checklist.
Evaluate cost-benefit ratio using modules/cost-estimation.md.
Check for red flags (security, real-time iteration).

Exit Criteria: Service authenticated, quotas verified, cost justified.

3. Handoff Planning (`delegation-core:handoff-planned`)

Create a delegation plan:

See modules/handoff-patterns.md for request template.
Document service, command, input context, expected output.
Define validation method.

Exit Criteria: Delegation plan documented.

4. Execution & Integration (`delegation-core:results-integrated`)

Execute and validate results:

Run delegation and capture output.
Validate format and correctness.
Integrate only after validation passes.
Log usage.

Exit Criteria: Results validated and integrated, usage logged.

Leyline Infrastructure

Conjure uses leyline for shared infrastructure:

Leyline Skill	Used For
`quota-management`	Track service quotas and thresholds.
`usage-logging`	Session-aware audit trails.
`service-registry`	Unified service configuration.
`error-patterns`	Consistent error handling.
`authentication-patterns`	Auth verification.

See modules/cost-estimation.md for leyline integration examples.

Service-Specific Skills

For detailed service workflows:

Skill(conjure:gemini-delegation): Gemini CLI specifics.
Skill(conjure:qwen-delegation): Qwen MCP specifics.

Module Reference

task-assessment.md: Complexity classification, decision matrix.
cost-estimation.md: Pricing, budgets, cost tracking.
handoff-patterns.md: Request templates, workflows.
troubleshooting.md: Common problems, service failures.

Exit Criteria

Task assessed and classified.
Delegation decision justified.
Results validated before integration.
