Give Claude back to OpenClaw through a local Claude Code delegation lane with dispatch, poll, result, resume, and an optional non-root bypassPermissions runner. Use when: you want Claude subscription access available to OpenClaw agents through a stable local worker lane, need resume/monitoring in a bounded workspace, or need Claude auth separate from OpenClaw providers. Don't use when: the user explicitly wants an ACP chat harness or thread, use acp-router plus sessions_spawn(runtime: \"acp\"); the task is a simple edit or shell command, use edit/exec directly; or the local Claude runner is not set up yet, read references/setup.md first.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Prefer ACP when the user explicitly asked for Claude Code as a chat/thread runtime.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Claude Delegate
Give Claude back to OpenClaw.
Use this skill when Claude Code should run as a local delegated worker, not as an ACP chat harness.
The whole point is simple: third-party harnesses do not reliably get Claude subscription access, but OpenClaw operators still want Claude-quality work inside their agent system.
Stable entrypoints
- Wrapper:
scripts/claude-delegate.sh - Profile wrapper:
scripts/cc-profile.sh - Orchestrator:
scripts/cc-orchestrator.sh - Low-level runner:
scripts/run-task.sh
Default flow
- Read
references/setup.mdthe first time you install or port this skill. - Configure
profiles.json, or pointCLAUDE_DELEGATE_PROFILESat a host-local profiles file. - Keep local delegate instructions in the nearest
CLAUDE.delegate.mdfiles. The wrapper now tells Claude to discover/read those plus nearbyAGENTS.md,TOOLS.md, andREADME.mddocs before substantive work. - Dispatch work through
scripts/claude-delegate.sh dispatch <profile> <budget> <model> <label> "<task>". - Monitor with
poll,result,list, ordoctor. - Use
resumeto continue the same Claude session instead of starting over.
When to prefer this over ACP
Prefer this skill when you want:
- a boring local wrapper around Claude CLI
- a non-root runner user with synced auth/binary state
- bounded filesystem access through a chosen workdir
- cheap monitoring and resume without a chat-thread harness
Prefer ACP when the user explicitly asked for Claude Code as a chat/thread runtime.

Notes
scripts/cc-profile.shsupportsCLAUDE_DELEGATE_PROFILES=/abs/path/to/profiles.json.- Profile paths support
~and environment variable expansion. scripts/ensure-nonroot-delegation.shsupports env overrides for source paths if your Claude or acpx installs live somewhere else.- Delegate bootstrap is on by default. Disable with
CLAUDE_DELEGATE_BOOTSTRAP=0or change the instruction filename withCLAUDE_DELEGATE_DOC_BASENAME.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
