/dispatch

CRITICAL: This skill spawns a NEW session in a workspace. DO NOT work in the current directory.

IMPORTANT - Check if skill is already loaded:

If you see a <command-name> tag in the current conversation turn:

• The skill has ALREADY been loaded by the system
• DO NOT call the Skill tool
• Execute the bash script below directly using the Bash tool
• Report the complete output to the user and STOP

If there is NO <command-name> tag in the current conversation turn:

• Call the Skill tool to load and execute this skill
• Check the tool result immediately - it may contain execution output or status information
• If the bash script executed, report the complete output to the user and STOP
• If you see a task_id or background process reference, use TaskOutput to check its status
• DO NOT wait passively - actively check results and report to the user

In BOTH cases:

• DO NOT manually run individual bash commands from this skill definition
• Report the complete output without summarizing
• NEVER continue working in the current directory after this skill runs - work happens in the NEW session

Dispatch Work

Start work on one or more beads by creating worktrees and opening Claude sessions.

Usage: /dots-swe:dispatch [options] [bead-id...]

Arguments:

• bead-id... - One or more beads to work on (optional if already in a worktree)

Options:

• --dry-run, -n - Show what would happen without doing it
• --tab - Open in a new Ghostty tab (default)
• --window - Open in a new Ghostty window
• --model <name> - Claude model to use (opus, sonnet, haiku; default: opus)

Examples:

/dots-swe:dispatch dots-abc                           # Open tab for specific bead
/dots-swe:dispatch dots-abc dots-def dots-xyz         # Dispatch multiple beads
/dots-swe:dispatch --window dots-abc                  # Open window instead
/dots-swe:dispatch --model sonnet dots-abc            # Use sonnet model
/dots-swe:dispatch                                    # Open tab for current worktree
/dots-swe:dispatch --dry-run dots-abc                 # Preview what would happen

macOS Permissions: This command uses AppleScript to control terminals. If it fails to open tabs/windows, grant Automation permissions in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation. See /dots-swe:help for details.

Implementation
