| description | Explicitly opt in to DeepSeek-backed Subagent Router delegation for a single task. |
DeepSeek Backend Delegation
Use this skill only when the user explicitly invokes $deepseek or /deepseek.
Normal Codex sessions must not use Subagent Router subagents just because the
DeepSeek-backed provider is installed.
Delegation Contract
- Use GPT-5.5 as the parent orchestrator for task decomposition, final
consolidation, acceptance review, security-sensitive judgment, and ambiguous
product decisions.
- Use
subagent_router_reviewer for first-pass reviews of uncommitted changes,
current branches, commits, commit ranges, regression checks, and edge-case
review.
- Use
subagent_router_worker for codebase exploration, isolated
implementation, boilerplate, simple refactors, test writing, and first-pass
bug investigation.
- Do not use DeepSeek-backed router subagents for secrets, credentials, production
data, security-sensitive logic, or broad architecture changes unless the
user explicitly asks for that risk.
- After spawning a Subagent Router agent, wait up to 300 seconds.
- On timeout, inspect sanitized proxy activity and session mirror paths from
subagent-router paths or /debug/activity; do not rely on repo-local hardcoded log
paths.
- If proxy activity is stale or missing, or the proxy agent fails, stop and
report the failure instead of silently continuing with local implementation.
Reviews
Do minimal scope discovery before delegation: identify the requested path,
commit, or range, and run only cheap commands such as git status --short or
git diff --stat when needed. Spawn subagent_router_reviewer before reading
large diffs, source files, tests, or related modules.
The parent model must consolidate the final review and report discrete,
evidence-backed findings with severity, file paths, rationale, and concrete fix
suggestions.
Implementation
Create a short plan, delegate bounded implementation or exploration to
subagent_router_worker when practical, and tell the worker its file/module
ownership. Workers are not alone in the codebase; they must not revert edits
made by others.
For confirm-and-fix workflows, prefer reviewer confirmation followed by worker
patching when the fix is isolated and not security-sensitive. The parent model
reviews the worker diff, performs narrow integration cleanup if needed, and
runs relevant verification.
