What is Delego?
Delego turns Linear issues into coding jobs executed by Claude Code or Codex on your own machine. You delegate an issue the same way you'd assign it to a teammate — a paired runner on your laptop picks it up, works in an isolated git worktree, and reports progress back to the Linear Agent Session.
Which coding agents and models does Delego support?
Delego supports Claude Code and Codex. You pick the agent and model per job using Linear labels, so you can run Opus on one issue and Sonnet on the next without changing any configuration.
Will using Delego risk my Claude or Codex subscription?
No. The runner shells out to your regular claude or codex CLI on your own machine, using your own logged-in session — exactly the same way you'd run them by hand in a terminal. There is no API key sharing, no proxy, and no relay of model traffic. The provider sees normal terminal usage, because that's what it is.
Where does my code actually run? Does Delego see it?
All execution happens on your machine. Delego is the relay that bridges Linear and the runner CLI — it never sees your code, your repository contents, or the model traffic. The runner inherits your local shell, your SSH keys, and your environment.
Will Delego touch my current branch or uncommitted changes?
No. Every job runs inside an isolated git worktree, so your working branch and any uncommitted changes stay untouched. When the job completes, you get a pull request to review.
Can I run multiple jobs in parallel?
Yes. You can pair multiple runners to a single Delego account — on the same machine or across several machines — and they pull from the same job queue simultaneously. The more runners you pair, the more jobs run in parallel.
Do I need a paid Linear plan?
No. Linear's free tier allows up to 250 active issues, which is more than enough to evaluate Delego on a real project. You don't need to buy anything to try it out.
What do I need to install to use Delego?
A Linear workspace (free tier is fine), a Claude Code or Codex install you already use locally, and a machine that can run the @delegoapp/runner CLI — anything with Node 20+ works. After signing up, you install the Linear integration and pair your first runner from the dashboard.
How does Delego compare to Codex Cloud or Claude Code on the web?
Cloud agents run in an isolated sandbox — they can't reach private repositories without explicit permission grants, can't use your local SSH keys, and can't talk to services on your internal network. They also restrict which models you can use. Delego runs in your environment with your tools, and lets you pick the agent and model per job, with no vendor lock-in.
How do I get started?
Sign up for a Delego account, install the Linear integration from your dashboard, and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your first runner. The whole setup takes a few minutes — after that, you can delegate your first issue from Linear.
