/delegate$delegate@planr-delegate
Hand an implementation you explicitly assign to another coding agent's CLI, then review, verify, and integrate what it changed. Accepted work arrives as an uncommitted diff in your checkout.
/delegatein Claude Code. If /delegate runs another command, use /planr:delegate.
$delegatein Codex. With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:delegate.
@planr-delegatein Cursor. Cursor applies the planr-delegate rule when you mention it in chat.
What it does
Coordinate an explicitly requested implementation with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, then independently review and integrate its observed changes. Use when the user asks another coding agent to implement.
Delegate works through the native CLI you already have installed and signed in. The other agent investigates, implements, builds, tests, and corrects in its own worktree. Your current agent keeps the scope and the context, reviews the observed changes independently, runs its own checks, and integrates only what it accepts.
Before it dispatches, it shows you the engine, the model selection, the routing, the working directory, and the context it will send. Committing, landing, and deploying stay separate decisions, and ordinary implementation stays with Ship. See Delegate implementation through a native coding CLI.
When to use it
Use it to
- Delegate implementation to another coding agent
- Ask a second coding agent to implement while I orchestrate
- Use planr-delegate for this task
- Have Codex implement this task
- Use Codex to implement this
- Have Claude Code implement this task
- Ask another coding agent to implement this task
- Use another coding agent to build this change
Not for
- Active host implementation
- Ship this change without delegation
- Review existing code
- Review this code using Codex
- Parallel agents
- Fix the delegate runner in the active agent
Example
/delegate Ask another coding agent to implement T-003, then review and verify its changes before you integrate them.$delegate Ask another coding agent to implement T-003, then review and verify its changes before you integrate them.@planr-delegate Ask another coding agent to implement T-003, then review and verify its changes before you integrate them.Prompts and commands
Hand a task to another coding agent
Let a second agent build the task while your current agent reviews and verifies the result.
Ship a small fix without a plan
For a clear, local change, ask Ship directly; missing planning files do not block it.
Ship one task, then stop
Build one task end to end and keep the change small enough to review.
