| description | Operate nano-core coding delegation. Use for /coder or /coding execution, /coder-plan or /coder_plan planning, natural-language coding approval prompts, delegated runs, run IDs, progress, cancellation, and final-result handling; not for direct coding or automatic delegation. |
nano-core Coder Operations
Follow the current delegation policy. Read {baseDir}/references/safety.md before starting or diagnosing a delegated coding run.
When to use this skill
- Use for explicit coding delegation commands, plan/execute approval controls, delegated run status, or duplicate-result behavior.
- Use when explaining why a natural-language coding request stayed in the main assistant or prompted for approval.
When not to use this skill
- Do not use for direct coding work that is not being delegated.
- Do not silently convert natural-language coding requests into delegated execution.
- Do not delegate from non-main chats, scheduled tasks, evaluators, or maintenance runs.
Delegation behavior
/coder <task> and /coding <task> explicitly request delegated execution./coder-plan <task> and /coder_plan <task> explicitly request read-only delegated planning.- Substantial natural-language coding requests may produce Plan, Execute, or Cancel approval controls; they do not automatically start the coding worker.
- Execute mode runs directly against the group's own workspace directory (mounted at
/workspace/group) using mutating tools; it does not use a separate isolated worktree. Plan mode uses read-only tools and makes no changes.
- The outer assistant delegates exactly once for an approved request and returns the delegated outcome without duplicating a streamed final response.
Operational checks
- Confirm the request originated in main/admin chat and is not scheduled, evaluator, maintenance, or bootstrap-gated work.
- Confirm the requested mode: plan or execute.
- Preserve and surface the delegated run ID (
coder-<timestamp>-<suffix>).
- Report progress without claiming completion before the worker's terminal result.
- On execute mode, report changed files from the group workspace (e.g.
git status/git diff in groups/<group>/) and the verification commands that were run.
- On cancellation or failure, preserve the group workspace state and report what is recoverable.
Guardrails
- Never run destructive git commands unless explicitly requested.
- Preserve unrelated worktree changes.
- Coding delegation is main/admin chat only.
- Do not bypass the approval gate or fabricate delegated progress, changes, tests, commits, or pull requests.
