Claude Code Delegation

Task Design

• Keep tasks narrow with disjoint write sets (no overlapping files)
• Prefer 10-20 minute tasks over hour-long jobs
• Main agent does review/acceptance; don't duplicate large implementation work
• Ask delegates to run verification commands and report concrete results

Sandbox & Permissions

• --dangerously-skip-permissions only skips internal prompts
• It does NOT bypass outer sandbox restrictions or network blocks
• If claude -p cannot reach the API, run it outside the restrictive sandbox or escalate
• Check environment variables and API access before delegating long tasks
