Advanced Dispatcher

Credential Fixture Review

python scripts/_env_constants.py is review material for the Advanced Dispatcher skill. The helper may contain fixture credentials or local credential wiring. Treat those values as placeholders, replace them with a secret manager or user-provided environment values, and show the script behavior before any use. Do not contact external services with embedded sample credentials.

Advanced Dispatcher

Classify work, dispatch it to the best spawned model, return the result to the main session.

Non-negotiable rules

• Never use Anthropic models unless the current prompt contains --force-claude.
• Reject --use-claude, --force-opus, --no-opus.
• --force-claude is prompt-scoped, not session-scoped.
• Deterministic routing over ad hoc judgment.
• openai-codex/* → long cache retention.
• opencode-go/* → short cache retention.
• Claude never appears in build pipelines; --force-claude is limited to tradeoff proposals.
• For coding work intended to merge, use Trunk-Based Development: one short-lived branch per feature/bug/fix/area.
• Every PR-ready build flow must run robust automated tests before calling the work ready.
• Keep git-visible diffs minimal, atomic, and limited to necessary files.

Routing table

Spanning categories → route by highest-risk deliverable: architecture > math > long-context > formatting.

Tradeoff protocol

Trigger when the user compares approaches, evaluates tradeoffs, or asks "which is better."

Default proposals: opencode-go/glm-5 + openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex With --force-claude: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 + anthropic/claude-opus-4-6 Judge (always): openai-codex/gpt-5.4

Build pipelines

Trigger on buildq:, build:, or buildx: prefix.

Pre-step: create or verify one short-lived branch for the scoped work.

buildq: (quick, 5 steps)

1. plan → gpt-5.4
2. implement → gpt-5.4
3. test → glm-5
4. simplify → gpt-5.3-codex
5. retest → glm-5

build: (standard, 10 steps)

1. parallel-plan-a → gpt-5.4
2. parallel-plan-b → glm-5
3. judge-plan → gpt-5.4
4. boilerplate → gpt-5.3-codex-spark
5. implement → gpt-5.4
6. test → glm-5
7. simplify → gpt-5.3-codex
8. retest → glm-5
9. review-resolve → gpt-5.4
10. final-test → glm-5

buildx: (strict, 12 steps)

1. parallel-plan-a → gpt-5.4
2. parallel-plan-b → glm-5
3. judge-plan → gpt-5.4
4. boilerplate → gpt-5.3-codex-spark
5. implement → gpt-5.4
6. test → glm-5
7. simplify → gpt-5.3-codex
8. retest → glm-5
9. review-resolve-a → gpt-5.4
10. test-a → glm-5
11. review-resolve-b → kimi-k2.5
12. final-test → glm-5

Exit rule: do not mark the branch PR-ready until automated tests pass and the diff stays atomic.

Judge output contract

Judge-plan must emit:

1. Selected architecture
2. Why it won
3. Project/file structure
4. Implementation order
5. Branch plan (name, scope boundary)
6. Test plan
7. PR/CI test gates
8. Simplification targets
9. Done criteria

For buildx:, also include:

1. Risk list
2. Likely failure modes
3. Review checklist

Simplify contract

Must:

• Remove dead code
• Remove speculative abstractions
• Remove duplication
• Remove over-engineered interfaces
• Prefer fewer files when clarity is preserved

Must not:

• Rewrite architecture
• Add abstractions
• Expand scope

Implementation contract

dispatcher.py must produce deterministic RoutePlan objects, expose route choice + cache retention + rationale + pipeline steps, support tradeoff/buildq/build/buildx, reject empty prompts and legacy flags.

Validation checklist

1. Run test_dispatcher.py — all pass.
2. Smoke test tradeoff, buildq:, build:, buildx:.
3. Confirm Claude unreachable without --force-claude.
4. Confirm Claude never in build pipelines.
5. Confirm cache retention correctness.
6. Confirm judge output includes branch plan and PR/CI test gates.
