Setup
Write exactly one managed block into the project's AGENTS.md. Discover
models and effort from the installed harnesses. Do not store a catalogue. Do
not install, trust, or enumerate anything.
Read AGENTS.md first. Replace only the region between this skill's own
markers. Prose outside the block is not read, merged, moved, or deleted.
Two rows only
The managed block configures deployment preferences for implement and
review — nothing else. There is no coordinator or orchestrator field,
because Orca is the constant, required execution plane. There is no control
row, because the current interactive session already exists and is never
dispatched. There is no release row, because release has no LLM worker. There
is no Plan Mode field and no design-skill field: the active design method is
a property of the harness and session, not a Dely setting.
Two paths
Quick. Use the current harness for both implement and review. Use
that harness's defaults for model and effort, written as the literal
default.
Customize. For each of implement and review, offer the discovered
harnesses, models and effort levels and write what the human chooses.
Ask which path. Do not start writing until that is answered.
What to write
Exactly one block, and nothing else:
<!-- dely:begin -->
## Dely
Bounded or Architectural work invokes `dely:delivery`; Spike starts no
delivery run.
| Phase | Harness | Model | Effort |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `implement` | … | … | … |
| `review` | … | … | … |
<!-- dely:end -->
If the markers already exist, replace the region between them. If they do not, append the block. Touch nothing else.
Discovery
Run these commands. They are the catalogue. Do not copy a list from this
package, from memory, or from docs/.
- Claude Code models:
claude -p "/model" --output-format json - Claude Code effort:
claude -p "/effort" --output-format json - Codex:
codex debug models - Grok models:
grok models - Antigravity CLI models:
agy models(offer the slug column of its TSV output)
The two Claude probes are answered locally: num_turns 0, total_cost_usd 0,
no model turn. Do not treat them as a dispatch.
Codex slugs with visibility: hide are not offered. Codex reasoning levels
are supported_reasoning_levels on each slug, not one vocabulary per harness.
Grok effort is not discovered by calling the model. Read the installed CLI's help and any validation already observed. Do not run a Grok prompt to learn the flag.
Antigravity CLI effort is low|medium|high, read from agy --help's
--effort flag; do not prompt the model to learn it. Some model slugs already
end in -high, -medium, or -low — that suffix names the model, not the
effort flag, so do not strip it.
A harness that is not installed is omitted from the offer, not an error.
Kiro CLI
Kiro CLI models: kiro-cli chat --list-models --format json (offer each
model_id). Kiro CLI effort is read from kiro-cli chat --help's --effort
flag; do not prompt the model to learn it and do not store a catalogue. Live
discovery may offer only auto — that is a valid result, not a reason to
invent model names. Omit Kiro discovery that is unavailable or unusable
rather than guessing.
Cursor Agent CLI
Cursor Agent CLI models: cursor-agent models (offer the slug before -).
There is no --effort flag: write the literal default for Effort. Do not
invent an effort vocabulary, do not strip effort suffixes from slugs, and do
not synthesize parameterized [effort=…] forms. Omit Cursor discovery that
is unavailable or unusable rather than guessing.
Pinning
Where a managed block exists, pin its Harness, Model and Effort for
implement and review on every dispatch. The literal default in Model or
Effort means the harness default is wanted: omit that flag. That is not the
same as an unset cell — defaults are a deployment preference, not a
reproducible pin, and the execution envelope records the configured value and,
where the harness exposes it, the actual observed model and effort.
Where AGENTS.md carries no managed block, delivery runs implement and
review on the current harness with harness defaults and omits the model and
effort flags. Setup is a convenience over that fallback, not a precondition
for it.
When a choice cannot be offered
Where a choice cannot be offered, do not make it. Take the conservative action — which may be writing a conservative value, and may be doing nothing — and report the choice that was not offered, naming what was available and how to set it; do not write that report into the managed block.
For the CLAUDE.md import: if the current harness is Claude Code, the import
is absent, and setup cannot ask, write nothing and report the offer that was
not made.
Refusals
Stop and report to the human, unchanged, when:
- the markers are broken (a
beginwithout a matchingend, or anendbefore itsbegin) - more than one
<!-- dely:begin -->is present - a legacy phase table outside the block contradicts the block
Do not merge two tables, delete a legacy table, or guess which is authoritative.
Claude Code and AGENTS.md
Claude Code does not read AGENTS.md. The persistent instruction reaches
Codex, Grok, Antigravity CLI, Kiro CLI, and Cursor Agent CLI natively. It
reaches Claude Code only where the project has a CLAUDE.md that imports
AGENTS.md.
Where the current harness is Claude Code and the project has no CLAUDE.md
importing AGENTS.md, offer to create a one-line CLAUDE.md containing
@AGENTS.md. The human accepts or declines. Never write it unasked.
This is not a second managed block: no markers, no configuration, a pointer at the block rather than a copy of it.
The offer is Claude-Code-only. On Codex, Antigravity CLI, and Kiro CLI the
file is inert in the same sense that it is not imported. Cursor Agent CLI
applies CLAUDE.md as a rule. Grok does not expand it.
What setup will not do
No plugin or skill install. No hook trust. No writes to ~/.claude,
~/.codex, ~/.grok, ~/.gemini, ~/.kiro, or ~/.cursor. No custom Kiro
agent creation or modification. No coordinator installation or field. No
control or release row. No enumeration or invocation of project-owned workflow
plugins. No model catalogue.
Print verified install guidance only when the human explicitly asks for it.
