agent-delegate

agent-delegate is an MCP-first delegation advisor for coding agents. It helps a main agent decide when to delegate read-only investigation, generate bounded subagent briefs, and summarize subagent results back into compact main-agent context.

Status

This repository implements v1: Read-only Delegation Advisor.

v1 does not execute write-code subagents, edit files on behalf of agents, run background monitoring, or orchestrate worktrees.

Related MCP server: local-llm-delegator

Install

npm install

Run the MCP Server

npm run --silent agent-delegate -- serve

Configure your agent tool to launch that command as a local MCP server.

Check MCP Setup

npm run agent-delegate -- doctor

doctor verifies that dependencies are installed, the local MCP server can start, and all five v1 MCP tools are visible through stdio. It also prints a copyable MCP configuration.

Analyze a Sample Agent State

npm run agent-delegate -- analyze examples/agent-state.sample.json

Expected output includes a recommendation such as:

{
  "recommendation": "dispatch_readonly"
}

Dogfood Before Release

This project should be dogfooded before any open-source release. Unit tests are not enough because the core product is an MCP tool used by real agents.

Run the MCP smoke test:

npm run smoke:mcp

Run realistic fixtures:

npm run check:fixtures

See docs/dogfood.md for the full dogfood protocol.

      An MCP server that exposes a library of delegation prompts to orchestrate tasks between a primary LLM and specialized sub-agents. It enables the execution of self-contained, bounded tasks with built-in support for configuration discovery and project-specific delegation libraries.

      maintenance
      Enables MCP-capable coding assistants to delegate repository investigation, bounded implementation work, and noisy command runs (tests, builds, linters) to sandboxed OpenCode agents. Each role can use an independently selected model, and only concise results are returned to the parent agent, which keeps responsibility for architecture and high-risk operations.
