dely

Ask for a change; Dely takes it through design approval, implementation, independent review, and a pull request you merge.

Quickstart

Install Orca, then Dely.

1. Install the desktop app.
2. Register the CLI (it ships with the app): Settings → General → Orca CLI. See the CLI overview.
3. Enable orchestration: Settings → Experimental. See orchestration.
4. Preflight:

orca open
orca status --json
orca orchestration run-list --json

dely:delivery stops if this preflight fails. On Linux the binary is orca-ide (see the install docs).

Optional agent skills orca-cli and orchestration: https://www.onorca.dev/docs/cli/skills

Then:

1. Install dely in the harness (Install).
2. Open a session in the project.
3. Invoke dely:setup (optional).
4. Ask for a change.

Project setup

In the project, invoke dely:setup.

It asks Quick (this harness for both phases) or Customize (pick harness, model, and effort for implement and review), then writes one managed block into AGENTS.md. Skip it and dely:delivery uses the current harness and that harness's defaults.

Install

The plugin is dely, from the dely marketplace at https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git. The skill name is delivery; invoke it as dely:delivery. Kiro CLI has no plugin verb; use ### Kiro CLI below.

Claude Code

claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git
claude plugin install dely@dely

claude plugin list                 # verify it is installed
claude plugin update dely          # update (restart required to apply)
claude plugin uninstall dely       # uninstall

Codex CLI

codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git
codex plugin add dely@dely

codex plugin list                  # verify it is installed
codex plugin marketplace upgrade   # update: see below
codex plugin remove dely@dely      # uninstall

codex plugin marketplace add --ref <ref> pins the marketplace to a tag such as v0.17.0 or an exact full commit SHA. There is no codex plugin update: use codex plugin marketplace upgrade. Do not use codex plugin install.

Grok Build

grok plugin install hieuphung97/dely

grok plugin list                   # verify it is installed
grok plugin update dely            # update
grok plugin uninstall dely         # uninstall

grok plugin install takes a git URL, GitHub shorthand, or local path. Pin with @tag, for example hieuphung97/dely@v0.17.0. A local directory needs --trust.

Antigravity CLI

agy plugin install https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git

agy plugin list                    # verify it is installed
agy plugin install https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git  # refresh: no `plugin update` subcommand
agy plugin uninstall dely          # uninstall

agy plugin install takes a git URL or a local path.

Cursor Agent CLI

cursor-agent plugin marketplace add https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git

# verify it is installed
cursor-agent plugin marketplace list

# re-index, no fetch
cursor-agent plugin marketplace update dely

# refresh: remove and re-add (remove drops the marketplace, not the plugin)
cursor-agent plugin marketplace remove dely
cursor-agent plugin marketplace add https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git

The snapshot is addressed by commit, so marketplace update only re-indexes and does not fetch. Remove and re-add the marketplace to pick up new commits, then choose Uninstall from the Installed tab and install again from the Marketplace tab of the /plugin panel.

Add the marketplace first with cursor-agent plugin marketplace add, then in a Cursor Agent session type /plugin and press Enter. Open the Marketplace tab, type dely in the search box, press Enter on dely (dely), and choose Install for you (user scope) (or Install for all collaborators on this repository (project scope)).

To uninstall, open the Installed tab, select dely, and choose Uninstall. cursor-agent plugin marketplace remove removes the marketplace entry and leaves the plugin installed.

Type /dely to filter the palette to Dely's /delivery and /setup.

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot plugin marketplace add https://github.com/hieuphung97/dely.git
copilot plugin install dely@dely

copilot plugin list                 # verify it is installed
copilot plugin update dely          # update
copilot plugin uninstall dely       # uninstall
copilot plugin marketplace remove dely  # removes the marketplace, not the plugin

Kiro CLI

npx skills add hieuphung97/dely --agent kiro-cli --global --skill delivery --skill setup

npx skills list --agent kiro-cli --global    # verify it is installed
npx skills update --global                   # update
npx skills remove --agent kiro-cli --global --skill delivery --skill setup  # uninstall

Invoke the skills in a Kiro CLI session as /delivery and /setup.

Grok Build	1.0.5
Antigravity CLI	1.1.19
Kiro CLI	2.16.2

GitHub Copilot CLI	1.0.82
Orca	1.4.196

How Dely works

Ask for a change. Approve the design when asked. Dely implements, a different session reviews, then opens a PR. You merge. A Spike investigates only — no delivery run.

The workflow contract is skills/delivery/SKILL.md.

Troubleshooting

• dely:delivery stops immediately. Orca is not running or a required capability is absent, including orchestration. Run the Quickstart preflight, then retry.
• A harness still runs the old workflow after you edited this checkout. You edited the source, not an installed copy. Reinstall or update the plugin in the harness.
• Codex still behaves the same after codex plugin marketplace upgrade. Confirm the remote has new commits. A delivery already running keeps the plugin version from its start; open a new session after the upgrade.
• AGENTS.md pins don't seem to apply in Claude Code. Put @AGENTS.md in CLAUDE.md; Claude Code does not read AGENTS.md directly.

Contributing, security, and license

• CONTRIBUTING.md — issue-first workflow, fork/branch/pull request flow, and review expectations. External contributors do not need Dely or Orca.
• CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — Contributor Covenant 2.1.
• SECURITY.md — how to report a vulnerability privately.
• docs/decisions.md — settled, open, and rejected design decisions, with rationale.
