Local Delegation

Use a local LM Studio model as a scout for bounded grunt work. The main model owns planning, judgment, implementation choices, verification, and the final answer.

This skill applies only while it is active for the current task/session unless the surrounding agent framework keeps it in context. Reusable activation phrase: "local delegation mode on".

Bounded means bounded by task scope, not tiny local token use. Spend local tokens generously when they reduce high-cost model context and attention.

Delegate / Avoid

Good local tasks:

• Repo orientation, directory summaries, and entry-point discovery.
• Grep-heavy inventories, lists, counts, tables, and file:line extraction.
• Log or command-output triage.
• References to symbols, env vars, routes, APIs, TODOs, config keys, and literals.
• First-pass review of one named low-risk file or small directory.
• Narrow "read these files and summarize what matters" tasks.
• Candidate evidence, leads, or summaries for the main model to inspect.
