## What is PROXY_MODE?
PROXY_MODE is a directive that tells an agent to delegate its task to an external AI model via Claudish.
## How It Works
1. **Orchestrator** launches Task with PROXY_MODE-enabled agent
2. **Agent** detects `PROXY_MODE: {model}` at start of prompt
3. **Agent** extracts model ID and actual task
4. **Agent** runs `claudish --model {model}` with the task
5. **Agent** returns external model's response
## The PROXY_MODE Directive
Format:
```
PROXY_MODE: {model_id}
{actual task}
```
Example:
```
PROXY_MODE: x-ai/grok-code-fast-1
Review the architecture plan at ai-docs/plan.md
```
