Delegate

Generate a self-contained task prompt from $ARGUMENTS and conversation history, then spawn a new independent Claude Code session in a tmux pane.

Workflow

Step 1: Generate a self-contained task prompt

Synthesize a prompt from $ARGUMENTS and the conversation so far. The delegate session has NO prior context, so the prompt must be fully self-contained:

• Goal: what to accomplish
• Relevant file paths and line numbers
• Key constraints, decisions, or context from the conversation that the delegate needs
• Expected output or deliverable

Keep it concise but sufficient -- include only what the delegate actually needs to act.

Step 2: Pipe task to claude-skill-delegate

Execute exactly:

cat <<'EOF' | ~/dotfiles/bin/claude-skill-delegate
${GENERATED_PROMPT}
EOF

claude-skill-delegate starts a brand-new session (no --continue/--fork-session).

Constraints

• One delegate at a time
• The delegate is fully independent once spawned -- never set up result reporting back to this session
