The orchestrator and the agent coordinate **synchronously** via issue comments and the eventual pull request -- no polling, no automated webhooks. The user pings each side manually. + +This skill is the dispatch sibling to `ce-work` and `ce-work-beta`. Where `ce-work` executes a plan in the **current** session and `ce-work-beta` can delegate to `codex exec`, `ce-dispatch` hands one unit off to a **separate workspace** and lets that workspace's agent run the standard compound-engineering loop end-to-end (work -> code review -> compound -> PR). + +For background on Conductor's specific behavior (issue-to-workspace lifecycle, startup scripts, PR creation flow), see `references/conductor-notes.md`.

Multi-unit fan-out, dependency graphs, parallel orchestration, and merge-gate enforcement belong in a future iteration. For now, every dispatch is a single GitHub issue and the user opens (or has already opened) one Conductor workspace per dispatch.

Fall back to numbered options in chat only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) -- not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question. + +The Phase 4 respond menu has **4 options**, which fits the 4-option cap most blocking tools enforce -- always use the blocking tool for it.

Verify the file exists and is readable. If not, ask the user to clarify which plan to dispatch (blocking tool, single-select from `docs/plans/*.md` candidates). + +If `` is empty: +- Auto-detect the latest plan in `docs/plans/`. Sort by file mtime descending; pick the most recently modified `*.md` whose frontmatter has `status: active`. If multiple plans tie, prefer the one whose filename matches today's or yesterday's date prefix. +- Confirm the auto-detected plan with the user via the blocking question tool before proceeding ("Dispatch from plan ``? Yes / Pick another / Cancel"). Never silently dispatch the wrong plan. +- If no candidate plan exists, stop and tell the user to pass a plan path explicitly. + +Resolve the plan path to a repo-relative form (relative to `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`) for use in the issue body. Repo-relative paths only -- absolute paths break across machines. + +#### 0.2 Read dispatch config + +Read `dispatch_*` keys from `.compound-engineering/config.local.yaml` at the repo root (use the native file-read tool -- `Read` in Claude Code, `read_file` in Codex). All keys are optional; missing values fall through to the documented defaults below. + +Config keys and resolution: + +| Key | Values | Default | +|---|---|---| +| `dispatch_branch_prefix` | any string (no leading/trailing slashes) | `dispatch/` | +| `dispatch_base_branch` | any branch name | repo's default branch (`git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`) | +| `dispatch_labels` | comma-separated label list | `ce-dispatch` | + +If a key has an unrecognized value, fall through to the default for that key. Do not error. + +Store the resolved values for the rest of the workflow: +- `branch_prefix` -- used to suggest a branch name in the dispatch prompt +- `base_branch` -- recorded in the issue metadata; the in-workspace agent targets this branch with the PR +- `labels` -- list of labels applied to the created issue + +Removed in this MVP: `dispatch_mode`, `dispatch_auto_review`.

Without that, there is no place for the eventual agent to run. + +Ask via the blocking question tool: "Paste the absolute path of the Conductor worktree you opened for this dispatch. (e.g., `/Users/you/conductor/workspaces//`)" + +- The dirname of that path (the last path segment) becomes the **agent name** used in the dispatch issue body. The orchestrator and agent address each other in comments using this name (e.g., `[orchestrator -> jackson]`, `[jackson -> orchestrator]`).

Orchestrator and agent coordinate sync via issue comments and the PR; the user pings each side manually." +disable-model-invocation: true +argument-hint: "[Plan doc path. Blank to auto-detect latest plan]" +--- + +# Dispatch a Single Implementation Unit + +Hand off **one** implementation unit from a structured plan to an **external agent workspace** (Conductor or any issue-driven workflow) by creating a single GitHub issue. The orchestrator and the agent coordinate **synchronously** via issue comments and the eventual pull request -- no polling, no automated webhooks. The user pings each side manually. + +This skill is the dispatch sibling to `ce-work` and `ce-work-beta`. Where `ce-work` executes a plan in the **current** session and `ce-work-beta` can delegate to `codex exec`, `ce-dispatch` hands one unit off to a **separate workspace** and lets that workspace's agent run the standard compound-engineering loop end-to-end (work -> code review -> compound -> PR). + +For background on Conductor's specific behavior (issue-to-workspace lifecycle, startup scripts, PR creation flow), see `references/conductor-notes.md`. For the structure of the prompt embedded in the issue body, see `references/dispatch-prompt-template.md`. + +## Why one unit at a time? + +This is the MVP shape: simple, sync, in-the-loop. Multi-unit fan-out, dependency graphs, parallel orchestration, and merge-gate enforcement belong in a future iteration. For now, every dispatch is a single GitHub issue and the user opens (or has already opened) one Conductor workspace per dispatch. The chicken-and-egg of "the worktree exists before the issue exists" is solved by **user-first ordering**: the user creates the workspace in Conductor, then invokes `ce-dispatch` from the orchestrating session and supplies the worktree path. + +## Interaction Method + +When asking the user a question, use the platform's blocking question tool: `AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code (call `ToolSearch` with `select:AskUserQuestion` first if its schema isn't loaded), `request_user_input` in Codex, `ask_user` in Gemini, `ask_user` in Pi (requires the `pi-ask-user` extension). Fall back to numbered options in chat only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) -- not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question. + +The Phase 4 respond menu has **4 options**, which fits the 4-option cap most blocking tools enforce -- always use the blocking tool for it. Earlier phases (Phase 0 plan-path confirmation, Phase 1 unit selection, Phase 3 confirm-before-creating-issue) likewise use the blocking tool. + +## Input + + #$ARGUMENTS + +## Execution Workflow + +### Phase 0: Input and Config Resolution + +#### 0.1 Resolve the plan path + +If `` is non-empty: +- Treat it as a repo-relative path to a plan file. Verify the file exists and is readable. If not, ask the user to clarify which plan to dispatch (blocking tool, single-select from `docs/plans/*.md` candidates). + +If `` is empty: +- Auto-detect the latest plan in `docs/plans/`. Sort by file mtime descending; pick the most recently modified `*.md` whose frontmatter has `status: active`. If multiple plans tie, prefer the one whose filename matches today's or yesterday's date prefix. +- Confirm the auto-detected plan with the user via the blocking question tool before proceeding ("Dispatch from plan ``? Yes / Pick another / Cancel"). Never silently dispatch the wrong plan. +- If no candidate plan exists, stop and tell the user to pass a plan path explicitly. + +Resolve the plan path to a repo-relative form (relative to `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`) for use in the issue body. Repo-relative paths only -- absolute paths break across machines. + +#### 0.2 Read dispatch config + +Read `dispatch_*` keys from `.compound-engineering/config.local.yaml` at the repo root (use the native file-read tool -- `Read` in Claude Code, `read_file` in Codex). All keys are optional; missing values fall through to the documented defaults below. + +Config keys and resolution: + +| Key | Values | Default | +|---|---|---| +| `dispatch_branch_prefix` | any string (no leading/trailing slashes) | `dispatch/` | +| `dispatch_base_branch` | any branch name | repo's default branch (`git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`) | +| `dispatch_labels` | comma-separated label list | `ce-dispatch` | + +If a key has an unrecognized value, fall through to the default for that key. Do not error. + +Store the resolved values for the rest of the workflow: +- `branch_prefix` -- used to suggest a branch name in the dispatch prompt +- `base_branch` -- recorded in the issue metadata; the in-workspace agent targets this branch with the PR +- `labels` -- list of labels applied to the created issue + +Removed in this MVP: `dispatch_mode`, `dispatch_auto_review`. Mode is no longer multiplexed (one shape only); auto-review is no longer wired (the user opts in to review per PR via the Phase 4 menu). + +#### 0.3 Confirm worktree path and agent name + +The user must have already created a Conductor workspace (or another worktree-based workspace) for this dispatch. Without that, there is no place for the eventual agent to run. + +Ask via the blocking question tool: "Paste the absolute path of the Conductor worktree you opened for this dispatch. (e.g., `/Users/you/conductor/workspaces//`)" + +- The dirname of that path (the last path segment) becomes the **agent name** used in the dispatch issue body. The orchestrator and agent address each other in comments using this name (e.g., `[orchestrator -> jackson]`, `[jackson -> orchestrator]`). It is purely a label -- no infrastructure depends on it. +- If the user can't provide a worktree path, stop and tell them: "Create a Conductor workspace for this dispatch first (Cmd+Shift+N), then re-invoke `/ce-dispatch `." Do not invent a path. +- Do not validate the path against the orchestrator's filesystem -- the worktree typically lives outside the orchestrator's checkout and validation would always fail. + +Record `worktree_path` and `agent_name` for use in Phase 2. + +### Phase 1: Pick One Implementation Unit + +Read the plan file. Locate the `Implementation Units` section. Each unit is a top-level bullet whose heading is `- U. ****` (e.g., `- U1. **Add rate limiter**`). Capture each unit's: + +- **U-ID** (e.g., `U1`, `U3`) +- **Name** (the bolded heading text) +- **Goal** (the unit's "Goal" or "Why" field) +- **Files** (the unit's `Files:` section -- Create, Modify, Read paths) +- **Patterns** (the unit's `Patterns to follow` field, if present) +- **Approach** (the unit's `Approach` field, if present) +- **Verification** (the unit's `Verification` or `Test scenarios` field) + +If the plan has no recognizable Implementation Units section, stop and tell the user the plan must contain implementation units before dispatch. Do not invent units. + +Presen...[truncated] +``` + +## User message + +``` +I'm the orchestrator. PR #142 (unit U2 of the rate-limit plan, dispatched to issue #87) was just merged.

Blank to auto-detect latest plan]" +--- + +# Dispatch a Single Implementation Unit + +Hand off **one** implementation unit from a structured plan to an **external agent workspace** (Conductor or any issue-driven workflow) by creating a single GitHub issue. The orchestrator and the agent coordinate **synchronously** via issue comments and the eventual pull request -- no polling, no automated webhooks. The user pings each side manually. + +This skill is the dispatch sibling to `ce-work` and `ce-work-beta`. Where `ce-work` executes a plan in the **current** session and `ce-work-beta` can delegate to `codex exec`, `ce-dispatch` hands one unit off to a **separate workspace** and lets that workspace's agent run the standard compound-engineering loop end-to-end (work -> code review -> compound -> PR). + +For background on Conductor's specific behavior (issue-to-workspace lifecycle, startup scripts, PR creation flow), see `references/conductor-notes.md`. For the structure of the prompt embedded in the issue body, see `references/dispatch-prompt-template.md`. + +## Why one unit at a time? + +This is the MVP shape: simple, sync, in-the-loop. Multi-unit fan-out, dependency graphs, parallel orchestration, and merge-gate enforcement belong in a future iteration. For now, every dispatch is a single GitHub issue and the user opens (or has already opened) one Conductor workspace per dispatch. The chicken-and-egg of "the worktree exists before the issue exists" is solved by **user-first ordering**: the user creates the workspace in Conductor, then invokes `ce-dispatch` from the orchestrating session and supplies the worktree path. + +## Interaction Method + +When asking the user a question, use the platform's blocking question tool: `AskUserQuestion` in Claude Code (call `ToolSearch` with `select:AskUserQuestion` first if its schema isn't loaded), `request_user_input` in Codex, `ask_user` in Gemini, `ask_user` in Pi (requires the `pi-ask-user` extension). Fall back to numbered options in chat only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) -- not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question. + +The Phase 4 respond menu has **4 options**, which fits the 4-option cap most blocking tools enforce -- always use the blocking tool for it. Earlier phases (Phase 0 plan-path confirmation, Phase 1 unit selection, Phase 3 confirm-before-creating-issue) likewise use the blocking tool. + +## Input + + #$ARGUMENTS + +## Execution Workflow + +### Phase 0: Input and Config Resolution + +#### 0.1 Resolve the plan path + +If `` is non-empty: +- Treat it as a repo-relative path to a plan file. Verify the file exists and is readable. If not, ask the user to clarify which plan to dispatch (blocking tool, single-select from `docs/plans/*.md` candidates). + +If `` is empty: +- Auto-detect the latest plan in `docs/plans/`. Sort by file mtime descending; pick the most recently modified `*.md` whose frontmatter has `status: active`. If multiple plans tie, prefer the one whose filename matches today's or yesterday's date prefix. +- Confirm the auto-detected plan with the user via the blocking question tool before proceeding ("Dispatch from plan ``? Yes / Pick another / Cancel"). Never silently dispatch the wrong plan. +- If no candidate plan exists, stop and tell the user to pass a plan path explicitly. + +Resolve the plan path to a repo-relative form (relative to `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`) for use in the issue body. Repo-relative paths only -- absolute paths break across machines. + +#### 0.2 Read dispatch config + +Read `dispatch_*` keys from `.compound-engineering/config.local.yaml` at the repo root (use the native file-read tool -- `Read` in Claude Code, `read_file` in Codex). All keys are optional; missing values fall through to the documented defaults below. + +Config keys and resolution: + +| Key | Values | Default | +|---|---|---| +| `dispatch_branch_prefix` | any string (no leading/trailing slashes) | `dispatch/` | +| `dispatch_base_branch` | any branch name | repo's default branch (`git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`) | +| `dispatch_labels` | comma-separated label list | `ce-dispatch` | + +If a key has an unrecognized value, fall through to the default for that key. Do not error. + +Store the resolved values for the rest of the workflow: +- `branch_prefix` -- used to suggest a branch name in the dispatch prompt +- `base_branch` -- recorded in the issue metadata; the in-workspace agent targets this branch with the PR +- `labels` -- list of labels applied to the created issue + +Removed in this MVP: `dispatch_mode`, `dispatch_auto_review`. Mode is no longer multiplexed (one shape only); auto-review is no longer wired (the user opts in to review per PR via the Phase 4 menu). + +#### 0.3 Confirm worktree path and agent name + +The user must have already created a Conductor workspace (or another worktree-based workspace) for this dispatch. Without that, there is no place for the eventual agent to run. + +Ask via the blocking question tool: "Paste the absolute path of the Conductor worktree you opened for this dispatch. (e.g., `/Users/you/conductor/workspaces//`)" + +- The dirname of that path (the last path segment) becomes the **agent name** used in the dispatch issue body. The orchestrator and agent address each other in comments using this name (e.g., `[orchestrator -> jackson]`, `[jackson -> orchestrator]`). It is purely a label -- no infrastructure depends on it. +- If the user can't provide a worktree path, stop and tell them: "Create a Conductor workspace for this dispatch first (Cmd+Shift+N), then re-invoke `/ce-dispatch `." Do not invent a path. +- Do not validate the path against the orchestrator's filesystem -- the worktree typically lives outside the orchestrator's checkout and validation would always fail. + +Record `worktree_path` and `agent_name` for use in Phase 2. + +### Phase 1: Pick One Implementation Unit + +Read the plan file. Locate the `Implementation Units` section. Each unit is a top-level bullet whose heading is `- U. ****` (e.g., `- U1. **Add rate limiter**`).
