assign

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

assign a task to an external coding agent and monitor it. Pipes the prompt via stdin to dodge quoting failures and auto-approves permissions to avoid silent hangs. Triggers: run a task with an external agent, hand off to OpenCode, Claude Code, or similar, execute a plan non-interactively. Flags: --agent <name> (default opencode), --model <model>, and --dir <path>.

Assign

/assign "Fix the null check in auth.ts" --agent opencode --model opencode-go/kimi-k2.6
/assign "Fix the null check in auth.ts" --agent claude

Flags

Flag	Effect
`--agent <name>`	Agent to delegate to. Default: `opencode` .
`--model <model>`	Model to use. Agent default applies if omitted.
`--dir <path>`	Agent working directory. Default: current directory. `assign-prompt.tmp` is always written to the current directory, not `--dir` .

If

--agent

names an unsupported agent, stop: "Unknown agent

<name>

. Supported agents: opencode, codex, claude. See

./REFERENCE.md

."

Step 1: Write the prompt file

Write the full task prompt to

./assign-prompt.tmp

in the current working directory (not

--dir

). Never pass the prompt as a shell argument, quoting breaks on multi-line or special-character prompts. Overwrite silently.

Step 2: Invoke the agent

Look up the agent's invocation template and required non-interactive flags in

./REFERENCE.md

. Those flags are not optional: without them the agent blocks on an invisible permission prompt and hangs silently. Substitute

<model>

and

<dir>

, then pipe the prompt:

bash

cat ./assign-prompt.tmp | <agent-command>

Step 3: Monitor output

Watch for progress (tool calls, file writes, step completions). If there is no output for >60s after startup, the agent is hung on a permission prompt. Kill it and check the agent's troubleshooting notes in

./REFERENCE.md

.

Step 4: Verify and clean up

Report the exit code and a brief summary of what the agent did.
Delete
```
./assign-prompt.tmp
```
.
If the task was a code change, prompt the user to verify results.

Constraints

Never infer or expand the task. Delegate exactly the prompt provided.
Never commit, push, or build unless the prompt explicitly asked for it.
