How to scope, brief and choose sub-agents when delegating work with the Agent tool - named vs forked agents, file ownership boundaries, model selection, and when a fork is the wrong choice. Use when delegating to one or more sub-agents, deciding between a named agent and a fork, or splitting parallel work across agents.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'subagent-delegation' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'subagent-delegation' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named subagent-delegation already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/sammcj/agentic-coding' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '09c80d352bc3a099bf654f433edffdb30af021a7' -- 'Skills/subagent-delegation' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'Skills/subagent-delegation' ~/.agents/skills/'subagent-delegation' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'subagent-delegation' ~/.claude/skills/'subagent-delegation' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
