## Description

Delegate a coding task to the Qoder CLI (`qodercli`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user asks to have Qoder implement, fix, refactor, or run a queue of coding tasks while the orchestrator remains the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants code written directly without delegation.

# Qoder Delegate

You are the **orchestrator**. Delegate one bounded coding task to a separate **implementer** - Qoder CLI -
then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Qoder
edits the working tree in its session; you verify and commit.

The loop needs only shell and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.

## When NOT to use this

- The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
- `qodercli` is not installed or authenticated.
- You want to write the code yourself or need only an interactive Qoder session.

## Prerequisites (check once)

```bash
command -v qodercli
qodercli --version
qodercli --list-models
```

If the binary is missing, install it from Qoder's
[official Quick Start](https://docs.qoder.com/en/cli/quick-start). Authenticate with `qodercli login`,
or set `QODER_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` for automation. A successful `--list-models` confirms the current
account can return its live model catalog.

## Choose model and context window

Qoder's available models can change. If the human requests a model, use its exact current value from
`qodercli --list-models`; never invent or pin a catalog entry. Otherwise omit `--model` and let Qoder
use its current default.

`--context-window <n>` is optional. Pass a positive integer only when the human requests a size or the
task needs an explicit budget. Qoder applies it only to supported models; surface an unsupported
model/size error instead of silently choosing another value.

## The loop

Run these five steps per task. Steps 1, 4, and 5 require judgment; 2 and 3 are mechanical.
