Triggers: "what should I work on next", "dispatch me to a repo", "pick the next project", "run /dispatcher". Context: operator finished a session and wants the next-best repo across the portfolio. user: "/dispatcher" assistant: "Ranked 18 free repos — top recommendation: Pencil-Designs (score 4.50, 90d stale). Confirm via the picker, I'll claim its lease atomically, then route you to /session deep." - Skill: `kanevry/dispatcher-2` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add kanevry/dispatcher-2` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/kanevry/dispatcher-2/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Product & Planning - Author: Kanevry (https://skillmd.com/u/kanevry) - Updated: 2026-09-22 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/kanevry/dispatcher-2 --- # dispatcher Canonical skill: `skills/dispatcher/SKILL.md` Read that file and follow it exactly.
