Claude Delegator

GPT expert subagents for Claude Code. Five specialists that can analyze AND implement—architecture, security, code review, and more.

Install

Inside a Claude Code instance, run the following commands:

Step 1: Add the marketplace

/plugin marketplace add jarrodwatts/claude-delegator

Step 2: Install the plugin

/plugin install claude-delegator

Step 3: Run setup

/claude-delegator:setup

Done! Claude now routes complex tasks to GPT experts automatically.

Note

: Requires Codex CLI. Setup guides you through installation.

What is Claude Delegator?

Claude gains a team of GPT specialists via native MCP. Each expert has a distinct specialty and can advise OR implement.

What You Get	Why It Matters
5 domain experts	Right specialist for each problem type
Dual mode	Experts can analyze (read-only) or implement (write)
Auto-routing	Claude detects when to delegate based on your request
Synthesized responses	Claude interprets GPT output, never raw passthrough

The Experts

Expert	What They Do	Example Triggers
Architect	System design, tradeoffs, complex debugging	"How should I structure this?" / "What are the tradeoffs?"
Plan Reviewer	Validate plans before you start	"Review this migration plan" / "Is this approach sound?"
Scope Analyst	Catch ambiguities early	"What am I missing?" / "Clarify the scope"
Code Reviewer	Find bugs, improve quality	"Review this PR" / "What's wrong with this?"
Security Analyst	Vulnerabilities, threat modeling	"Is this secure?" / "Harden this endpoint"

When Experts Help Most

• Architecture decisions — "Should I use Redis or in-memory caching?"
• Stuck debugging — After 2+ failed attempts, get a fresh perspective
• Pre-implementation — Validate your plan before writing code
• Security concerns — "Is this auth flow safe?"
• Code quality — Get a second opinion on your implementation

When NOT to Use Experts

• Simple file operations (Claude handles these directly)
• First attempt at any fix (try yourself first)
• Trivial questions (no need to delegate)

How It Works

You: "Is this authentication flow secure?"
                    ↓
Claude: [Detects security question → selects Security Analyst]
                    ↓
        ┌─────────────────────────────┐
        │  mcp__codex__codex          │
        │  → Security Analyst prompt  │
        │  → GPT analyzes your code   │
        └─────────────────────────────┘
                    ↓
Claude: "Based on the analysis, I found 3 issues..."
        [Synthesizes response, applies judgment]

Key details:

• Each expert has a specialized system prompt (in prompts/)
• Claude reads your request → picks the right expert → delegates via MCP
• Responses are synthesized, not passed through raw
• Experts can retry up to 3 times before escalating

Configuration

Operating Modes

Every expert supports two modes based on the task:

Mode	Sandbox	Use When
Advisory	read-only	Analysis, recommendations, reviews
Implementation	workspace-write	Making changes, fixing issues

Claude automatically selects the mode based on your request.

Manual MCP Setup

If /setup doesn't work, manually add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codex": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "codex",
      "args": ["-m", "gpt-5.2-codex", "mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Customizing Expert Prompts

Expert prompts live in prompts/. Each follows the same structure:

• Role definition and context
• Advisory vs Implementation modes
• Response format guidelines
• When to invoke / when NOT to invoke

Edit these to customize expert behavior for your workflow.

Requirements

• Codex CLI: npm install -g @openai/codex
• Authentication: Run codex login after installation

---

Commands

Command	Description
/claude-delegator:setup	Configure MCP server and install rules
/claude-delegator:uninstall	Remove MCP config and rules

---

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
MCP server not found	Restart Claude Code after setup
Codex not authenticated	Run codex login
Tool not appearing	Check ~/.claude/settings.json has codex entry
Expert not triggered	Try explicit: "Ask GPT to review this architecture"
