AI Dispatch

Dispatch tasks to different AI backends via dispatch <backend> "prompt".

First Use — Auto Setup

Before dispatching, check if dispatch is available:

which dispatch

If not found, run setup:

bash $SKILL_DIR/../../scripts/setup.sh

If config is missing (~/.config/ai-dispatch/config.json), setup will:

1. Check environment for existing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN
2. If found, auto-create config from env
3. If not, ask the user for API keys
4. Install dispatch and dcheck to PATH

Usage

# Simple — backend + prompt (auto-adds all flags)
dispatch ark-code "implement binary search"
dispatch glm "translate to Chinese: hello world"
dispatch ark-minimax "analyze this codebase"

# Check progress
dcheck --latest

# List backends
dispatch --list

Available Backends

Adding Custom Backends

Edit ~/.config/ai-dispatch/config.json:

{
  "backends": {
    "my-api": {
      "description": "My custom API",
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://my-api.example.com",
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-..."
      },
      "models": { "opus": "my-model", "sonnet": "my-model", "haiku": "my-model" }
    }
  }
}

Then: dispatch my-api "hello"

# Interactive (named pipe for follow-ups)
dispatch ark claude-interactive

# Resume session
dispatch ark claude -p --resume <SESSION_ID> "follow up"
