# omp-delegate

Delegates a bounded coding task to Oh My Pi, while the main agent reviews the diff and lands the change. Use it when implementation should run in a separate session.

## What it does

omp-delegate sends a bounded implementation task to Oh My Pi through `omp`. The main agent writes the brief, checks the resulting changes, and decides whether to commit them. A brief can define the goal, change boundaries, project checks, and a no-commit instruction for the implementer.

For shell-based runs, the bundled Node relay passes the brief to `omp --mode json`, waits for its event stream, and writes `result.json`. It accepts a repository through `--cd` plus optional model, provider, and thinking settings. Oh My Pi loads `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` from the workspace hierarchy.

Codex background orchestration requires `codex-background` and its `delegate_run` MCP tool. The skill also needs an installed, authenticated `omp`, Node 18+, and git. Oh My Pi has no sandbox, so write-capable sessions deserve a permission check.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add amElnagdy/delegate-skills --skill omp-delegate -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/omp-delegate/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/omp-delegate/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add amElnagdy/delegate-skills --skill omp-delegate -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/omp-delegate/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add amElnagdy/delegate-skills --skill omp-delegate -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/omp-delegate/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install amElnagdy/delegate-skills omp-delegate
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/omp-delegate/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add amElnagdy/delegate-skills --skill omp-delegate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/amElnagdy/delegate-skills --path skills/omp-delegate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/omp-delegate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add amElnagdy/delegate-skills --skill omp-delegate -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/amElnagdy/delegate-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/omp-delegate/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- delegate an implementation task to `omp`
- write a bounded brief for a separate coding session
- review a diff produced by a background implementer
- process a queue of tasks while retaining commit control

## Example prompts
- Delegate this implementation task to `omp`, then review the resulting diff.
- Run this refactor through Oh My Pi in the repository and tell the implementer not to commit.
- Have `omp` handle this fix, then check the project tests before preparing a commit.

  Delegate a coding task to Oh My Pi (`omp`) as a background implementer, then review its
  diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to delegate implementation work to
  Oh My Pi / omp - phrasings like "have omp implement X", "delegate this to oh my pi", "run it
  through omp", "use oh-my-pi to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding
  tasks through omp while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline,
  when the user wants the code written directly without delegating, or when they mean the original
  Pi CLI (`pi`) — that is pi-delegate.
license: MIT
compatibility: Requires the `omp` CLI installed and authenticated (`/login` inside omp, or a provider API-key environment variable), Node 18+, and git. The orchestrating agent must be able to run shell commands and read files. Shell examples assume bash/zsh (macOS/Linux, or Git Bash/WSL on Windows).

# Oh My Pi Delegate

You are the **orchestrator**. Delegate a bounded coding task to a separate **implementer** - Oh My
Pi (`omp`) - then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the
judgment; the implementer makes changes in its own session; you verify and commit.

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

## The binary is `omp`, not `pi`

Oh My Pi is a fork of Pi. This skill drives **`omp`** (`@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent`). The original
Pi CLI is a different binary (`pi`) with a different skill (`pi-delegate`). If `omp` is missing but
`pi` is installed, you have Pi, not Oh My Pi.

## When NOT to use this

- The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
- The `omp` CLI is not installed or authenticated.
- The user asked for the original Pi CLI (`pi`) — use `pi-delegate`.
- You need a sandboxed implementer. Oh My Pi has no sandbox. `--read-only` restricts the tool
  surface; a write-capable run executes without prompts (`--yolo`).

## Prerequisites (check once)

1. Install omp with `bun install -g @oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent` (or the install path from
   https://omp.sh).
2. Authenticate: `/login` inside omp for a subscription provider, or an API-key environment
   variable for an API-key provider. Credentials live under `~/.omp/`.
3. Confirm `omp --version` succeeds.
4. Work in, or point `--cd` at, the target git repository.

## Choose the model (optional)

Omit `--model` (and `--provider`) to use omp's configured default for this project / profile. The
catalog is **this install's** authenticated providers — not a fixed list in this skill.

To pick another model:

1. **List what this install can actually run.** Do **not** pass `omp --list-models` — that flag is
   gone and omp treats it as an unknown flag (exit 2). Use the `models` subcommand:
```
