oa-dispatch

oa-dispatch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 1broseidon/oneagent. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,677 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to send clearly defined coding tasks to another AI agent through a command-line tool. The task can involve editing files, generating tests, refactoring code, or reviewing a specific concern.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for small, self-contained code changes, test generation, targeted refactoring, or focused reviews that another agent can complete independently.
Why use it?
It helps divide focused work between different agents or models while keeping the task instructions private from process listings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

oa-dispatch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/converse.sh, scripts/multi-review.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dispatch Tasks to Other Agents

Use oa to delegate scoped coding tasks to a different AI model or backend. This is useful when you want to parallelize work, use a specific model's strengths, or offload a well-defined edit while you continue working.

When to dispatch

Dispatch works best for targeted, self-contained tasks with clear instructions:

  • Edit a specific file or function
  • Generate a test suite for a module
  • Refactor a block of code to match a pattern
  • Review a file for a specific concern (security, performance, etc.)

Do not dispatch vague or open-ended tasks. The receiving agent has no access to your conversation context — the prompt must be self-contained.

Basic command

Always pipe the prompt into oa instead of passing it as an argument. This keeps prompt content out of process listings (ps aux):

echo "<prompt>" | oa -b <backend> -m <model> --thinking <level>

All flags are optional. --thinking controls reasoning effort — supported levels vary by backend (e.g. low, medium, high). Omit it to use the backend's default.

For background execution with streaming visibility:

echo "Edit path/to/file.go: <specific instructions>" | oa -b claude --jsonl

For multi-line prompts, use a heredoc:

cat <<'EOF' | oa -b codex --jsonl
Edit internal/auth/handler.go: add rate limiting to the Login function.
Use x/time/rate with a limit of 5 requests per second per IP.
Do not modify any other functions. Do not ask for confirmation, just make the edits.
Run go test ./internal/auth/... when done.
EOF

Constructing effective prompts

The prompt must include everything the agent needs. Always include:

  1. The file path to edit or read
  2. What to do — be specific about the change
  3. Constraints — what not to change, patterns to follow, tests to pass

Good prompt:

Edit internal/auth/handler.go: Add rate limiting to the Login function.
Use x/time/rate with a limit of 5 requests per second per IP.
Do not modify any other functions. Do not ask for confirmation, just make the edits.
Run go test ./internal/auth/... when done.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
