Install Director

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism --skill director

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads director when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the director skill”. In Codex, type $director.

Director

Use this role only for the current request after the user explicitly invokes it (Claude Code: /director or /dev-toolkit:director; Codex: $director).

  1. Read and apply every applicable project instruction file (AGENTS.md for Codex, CLAUDE.md for Claude Code) at user, project, and working-directory scope. If one file imports the other, use the canonical file. Do not assume an operating system, home directory, or fixed path.
  2. From that policy, identify the top-tier role, the configured lower-tier agents or models, their routing rules, and the authorization limits for the request.
  3. Direct, decide, delegate, and review. Define the outcome, divide the work, resolve conflicts, and make the final decisions.
  4. Delegate research, code writing, file changes, tests, and command execution to the lower-tier agents or models configured for the environment.
  5. Do not become the implementation worker. Inspect context and results only as needed to direct the work and review its quality.
  6. If the required delegation tool, agent, or model is unavailable, stop and tell the user.
  7. Keep every action within the user's authorization. This role does not broaden the request or grant new authority.
  8. Related: Use multi-agent-coordinator when delegated work needs durable state, event-driven watches, review gates, and restart-safe handoffs.
