What is dispatch-audit?

A privacy-conscious log for helper-agent dispatches. It records when a worker agent is sent work while storing only a short preview, size, and fingerprint of the JSON request.

Use it whenever the main session or an orchestrator sends a planner, coder, reviewer, or other helper agent a task.

It provides an audit trail without writing the complete request, which may contain sensitive information, and rejects requests over 500 UTF-8 bytes.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add cintia09/CodeNook --skill dispatch-audit

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00562
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00225
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00112
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00056

Security

Grade A, and why

dispatch-audit 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (_emit.py, emit.py), 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dispatch-audit (builtin skill)

Role

Redacted append-only logger for sub-agent dispatches. Every time the main session (or orchestrator-tick) dispatches a helper/worker agent, it calls this skill to log a one-line audit record AND enforce the 500-byte payload hard limit (architecture §3.1.7 / v6 decision #T-3). The limit is measured in UTF-8 bytes (CJK-safe).

CLI

emit.sh --role <name> --payload <json-string> [--workspace <dir>]

--role e.g. planner, coder, reviewer — the downstream role.
--payload raw JSON string; must parse and be ≤ 500 bytes (UTF-8) total.
--workspace defaults to $CODENOOK_WORKSPACE; if unset, upward search for a directory containing .codenook/.

Exit codes

code	meaning
0	logged
1	payload > 500 bytes, or not valid JSON
2	usage error / workspace not resolvable

Log line shape

Appended to <ws>/.codenook/history/dispatch.jsonl:

{
  "ts": "2026-04-18T12:34:56Z",
  "role": "planner",
  "payload_size": 187,
  "payload_sha256": "…",
  "payload_preview": "… first 80 chars …"
}

Note: full payload is never written — only sha256 + an 80-char preview. Privacy by construction.

Redaction

Before the 80-char preview is sliced, the payload is run through a best-effort secret scrubber that masks common high-confidence patterns (OpenAI sk- / sk-proj-, Anthropic sk-ant- / sk-ant-api03-, AWS AKIA…, GitHub ghp_ / gho_ / github_pat_, and PEM private-key headers) with the literal string [REDACTED]. This is best-effort defence-in-depth, not a substitute for keeping secrets out of payloads (callers SHOULD pass ${env:NAME} placeholders, not resolved values).

M1 notes

Single-line append; no explicit flock (line sizes are far below PIPE_BUF so concurrent write() calls stay line-atomic on POSIX).
.codenook/history/ auto-created when missing.

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.

dispatch-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository cintia09/CodeNook (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 562 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
