claude-delegator
Delegate tasks to Codex and Gemini directly from within Claude Code.
Claude Delegator is a Claude Code plugin that enables task delegation to specialized GPT or Gemini experts directly from within Claude Code sessions. It provides five domain-specific AI specialists—covering architecture, security, code review, plan validation, and scope analysis—that can either analyze code in read-only mode or implement changes with write access. The plugin automatically detects task type and routes requests to the appropriate expert through MCP integration with Codex CLI or Gemini CLI, then synthesizes responses back into the Claude conversation with preserved context across multi-turn interactions.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Delegating system architecture decisions and design tradeoffs to a specialist before implementation

claude-delegator — FAQ
What is Claude Delegator and what does it do?+
Claude Delegator is a Claude Code plugin that gives Claude access to five specialized GPT or Gemini experts for tasks like architecture design, security analysis, code review, plan validation, and scope clarification. It automatically routes your requests to the appropriate specialist and synthesizes their responses back into your conversation.
How do I install the Claude Delegator plugin?+
Inside a Claude Code instance, run '/plugin marketplace add jarrodwatts/claude-delegator', then '/plugin install claude-delegator', and finally '/claude-delegator:setup' to configure the MCP server. The setup process will guide you through installing the required Codex CLI or Gemini CLI if needed.
Which AI clients work with Claude Delegator?+
Claude Delegator is specifically designed as a plugin for Claude Code. It requires Claude Code as the host environment and integrates with either Codex CLI (for GPT models) or Gemini CLI (for Gemini models) as the underlying expert providers.
What are the prerequisites and do I need API keys?+
You need at least one of: Codex CLI (installed via npm install -g @openai/codex) or Gemini CLI (installed via npm install -g @google/gemini-cli). For Codex, run 'codex login' to authenticate. For Gemini, run 'gemini' once to complete sign-in or set the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable.
Is Claude Delegator free to use?+
The plugin itself is open-source and MIT licensed, so it's free. However, using the GPT experts via Codex CLI or Gemini experts via Gemini CLI may incur costs based on your OpenAI or Google account and API usage.
When should I use the delegation experts versus having Claude handle tasks directly?+
Use experts for complex architecture decisions, debugging after multiple failed attempts, pre-implementation plan validation, security reviews, and code quality assessments. Avoid delegating simple file operations, first troubleshooting attempts, or trivial questions that Claude can handle directly.
