Located SKILL.md at nWave/skills/nw-deliver/SKILL.md and read the full 403-line body. Frontmatter parses cleanly (name + description + user-invocable + argument-hint). Spot-checked 5 referenced paths via raw fetch: scripts/shared/density_config.py (200), nWave/skills/nw-density-resolution-contract/SKILL.md (200), nWave/skills/nw-execute/SKILL.md (200), src/des/domain/telemetry/documentation_density_event.py (200), but scripts/shared/telemetry.py (404) — the skill tells you to call write_density_event() from that nonexistent file. No hardcoded machine paths; only ~/.claude and repo-relative paths. No security smells inside the skill (the curl|sh installer lives in the README, not the skill). OUTPUT unmeasurable: this is a pure multi-agent orchestrator that dispatches via Task tool to sub-agents and shells out to des-init-log / des-verify-integrity gates, consuming feature-delta.md and .feature files produced by earlier waves — none of which exist in my context, so no baseline-vs-skill artifact can be produced. Verdict setup: the manual blocker is installing the full nWave framework plus its sub-agents and DES CLI before this orchestrator does anything.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Nw Deliver does
A DELIVER-wave orchestrator for the nWave framework. It coordinates the full path from a feature description to production code by dispatching specialized sub-agents (solution architect, crafters, reviewers) through roadmap creation, per-step TDD execution, refactoring, adversarial review, mutation testing, and integrity gates. Triggers when all prior nWave waves are complete and a feature is ready to implement, via /nw-deliver or an explicit request to run the DELIVER wave.
How to install Nw Deliver
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nWave-ai/nWave.git /tmp/nw-deliver-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/nw-deliver-src/nWave/skills/nw-deliver ~/.claude/skills/nw-deliver
# ORCHESTRATOR ONLY — non-functional standalone. Requires the full nWave framework:
# sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nWave-ai/nWave/main/scripts/install/install.sh)"
# That installs the nwave-ai CLI, DES enforcement hooks, the sub-agents this skill dispatches
# (@nw-solution-architect, @nw-software-crafter, @nw-*-reviewer, @nw-platform-architect),
# and the CLI binaries des-init-log / des-verify-integrity (nWave/scripts/des/).
# Needs Python 3.10+. Also depends on sibling skills: nw-roadmap, nw-execute, nw-finalize,
# nw-review, nw-refactor, nw-mutation-test, nw-density-resolution-contract.
# It further needs prior-wave artifacts in the target project: feature-delta.md,
# docs/product/architecture/brief.md, and executable .feature files from DISTILL.
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Kick off delivery now that all waves are done
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Nw Deliver skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from nWave-ai/nWave. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Nw Deliver work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 21, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Located SKILL.md at nWave/skills/nw-deliver/SKILL.md and read the full 403-line body.

- What is the Nw Deliver SkillProof Score?
- 7.2/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 5/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Nw Deliver?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Nw Deliver with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
