qoder-delegate skill

by amElnagdy·amElnagdy/delegate-skills·2.2k stars·MIT

Delegate a coding task to the Qoder CLI (`qodercli`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user asks to have Qoder implement, fix, refactor, or run a queue of coding tasks while the orchestrator remains the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants code written directly without delegation.

Qoder Delegate

You are the orchestrator. Delegate one bounded coding task to a separate implementer - Qoder CLI - then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Qoder edits the working tree in its session; you verify and commit.

The loop needs only shell and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.

When NOT to use this

  • The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
  • qodercli is not installed or authenticated.
  • You want to write the code yourself or need only an interactive Qoder session.

Prerequisites (check once)

command -v qodercli
qodercli --version
qodercli --list-models

If the binary is missing, install it from Qoder's official Quick Start. Authenticate with qodercli login, or set QODERPERSONALACCESS_TOKEN for automation. A successful --list-models confirms the current account can return its live model catalog.

Choose model and context window

Qoder's available models can change. If the human requests a model, use its exact current value from qodercli --list-models; never invent or pin a catalog entry. Otherwise omit --model and let Qoder use its current default.

--context-window is optional. Pass a positive integer only when the human requests a size or the task needs an explicit budget. Qoder applies it only to supported models; surface an unsupported model/size error instead of silently choosing another value.

The loop

Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 require judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.

1. Write the brief

Qoder sees the brief plus what it can inspect in the workspace, not this chat. Include the goal, current state, what to change, what to leave untouched, the project's actual gates, and a closing report contract. Tell Qoder not to commit. Keep one task per brief. See references/writing-the-brief.md.

2. Dispatch

Use the bundled relay. It wraps Qoder's non-interactive stream-json mode and writes result.json. is the installed folder containing this SKILL.md.

node "<skill-dir>/scripts/relay.mjs" --brief brief.txt --cd /path/to/repo
# choose a live model:                 add --model "<value from qodercli --list-models>"
# request a supported context window: add --context-window 32768
# resume the latest session:          add --resume-last  # delta brief only
# resume a specific session:          add --resume <id>  # delta brief only
# see every option:                   node .../relay.mjs --help

Implementation runs default to Qoder's auto permission mode. The relay never bypasses permissions unless the caller explicitly requests it, and it never commits. See references/dispatch-and-poll.md.

3. Wait for completion

The relay blocks until Qoder exits. Run it with the orchestrator's background-command facility, or background it in the shell and wait for result.json. Completion means the process exited and the file contains a status; do not trust a progress display.

A pre-run usage error exits 2 and writes no result. Missing qodercli exits 127 and writes status: "qoder_unavailable" with installation guidance.

Native Windows relay launch is not yet verified; do not claim it until a native Windows smoke passes.

4. Review - do not trust the self-report

Treat Qoder's final message and gate outcomes as claims:

  • Re-run the project's gates yourself.
  • Read the diff against the brief, starting with touchedFiles.
  • Check any --add-dir workspaces separately; their changes are not in the primary tree report.
  • Run relevant guard skills if installed.
  • Round-trip migrations and grep for dangling references after removals or renames.

See references/review-and-land.md.

5. Land it

The implementer edits; the orchestrator commits. Commit only after the gates pass and the diff holds. If rework is needed, send a delta brief with --resume-last or --resume , then review again.

Permission model

Qoder print mode cannot show approval prompts. The relay defaults to auto, which makes non-interactive allow/deny decisions. default can deny actions that would require a prompt; acceptedits permits workspace edits but may deny shell actions; dontask fails closed; plan maps to default plus Qoder's Plan work state; and bypass_permissions is for explicitly trusted runs only.

Qoder falls back to default when a non-default mode is requested outside a trusted directory. Check actualPermissionMode in result.json; no requested mode replaces diff review.

Authorization model

Delegation is something the human opts into. Once they ask for it, landing verified, gate-passing work is the contract. Two limits remain: surface, do not absorb (report Qoder's design decisions and non-blocking deviations) and stop for scope changes (ask before expanding beyond the brief). See references/review-and-land.md.

  • Aagy-delegateDelegate a coding task to the Google Antigravity CLI (`agy`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Antigravity or agy - phrasings like "have Antigravity do X", "delegate this to agy", "run it through agy", or "use Antigravity to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through agy while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.
  • Aaider-delegateDelegate a coding task to Aider (`aider`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Aider - phrasings like "have Aider do X", "delegate this to aider", "run it through Aider", or "use Aider to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Aider while staying the reviewer. This includes asking Aider to drive a local or self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoint ("have Aider use my local model", "run Aider against llama.cpp / Ollama / vLLM / LM Studio"), which Aider reaches via `--api-base`. DO NOT USE for local-model or coding requests that do not name Aider, for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.
  • Aclaude-delegateDelegate a coding task to a separate Claude Code CLI process or another Claude session as an implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use only when the user explicitly asks to delegate implementation to Claude Code, another Claude session, or the `claude` CLI — for example, "have another Claude implement this", "delegate this to Claude Code", or "run this queue through a separate Claude session." Do not trigger merely because the current orchestrator is Claude, and do not use when the user asks the current Claude to implement directly without delegation.
  • Acline-delegateDelegate a coding task to the Cline coding agent CLI (`cline`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to delegate implementation work to Cline - phrasings like "have Cline implement X", "delegate this to cline", "run it through Cline", or "use cline to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Cline while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.
  • Acodex-delegateDelegate a coding task to the OpenAI Codex CLI as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself.

Prefer it over a one-shot Codex forwarder (such as the codex-rescue agent) when the user will review the diff and commit it themselves. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.
  • Acommandcode-delegateDelegate a coding task to the Command Code CLI (`cmd`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Command Code — phrasings like "have Command Code do X", "delegate this to commandcode", "run it through cmd", or "use Command Code to implement/fix/refactor" — or to run a queue of coding tasks through Command Code while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.
  • Acopilot-delegateDelegate a coding task to the GitHub Copilot CLI (`copilot`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to delegate implementation work to Copilot - phrasings like "have Copilot implement X", "delegate this to copilot", "run it through Copilot CLI", or "use copilot to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Copilot while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.
  • Acursor-delegateDelegate a coding task to the Cursor Agent CLI (`cursor-agent`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Cursor — phrasings like "have Cursor implement X", "delegate this to Cursor", "run it through Cursor Agent", or "use Cursor to implement/fix/refactor" — or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Cursor while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.
  • Adelegate-setupConfigure delegation fleet lanes: which implementer CLI handles which kind of work, with optional model and effort (or variant) dials. Discovers installed CLIs, proposes a lane map for user approval, and writes global or project config only after explicit yes. Use when the user asks to set up, configure, or reconfigure delegation lanes, a fleet of lanes, or which implementer handles feature/tests/ui work — not for dispatching a coding task to an implementer.
  • Agrok-delegateDelegate a coding task to the Grok Build CLI as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Grok — phrasings like "have Grok do X", "delegate this to Grok", "run it through Grok", "use Grok Build to implement/fix/refactor", or "have grok CLI do this" — or to run a queue of coding tasks through Grok while staying the reviewer.
