dispatch-authoring

dispatch-authoring is a skill for Claude Code from glitchwerks/claude-wayfinder. It costs 222 tokens per session (7,993 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to writing and troubleshooting the metadata that controls how requests are matched to agents and skills. It explains trigger phrases, routing fields, source precedence, and the matcher’s possible decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or improve trigger metadata, choose applicable agents or skills, configure routable entries, and diagnose poor phrase matching.
Why use it?
It helps when an agent or skill is selected for the wrong request or is never selected at all. It shows which metadata the catalog reads and how sidecar files can override settings in the main file.

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

dispatch-authoring 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 10d ago.

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.

Frontmatter Authoring Guide

This skill covers everything you need to write, improve, and troubleshoot trigger frontmatter for claude-wayfinder agents and skills. It explains what fields the matcher reads, how scoring works, the seven routing decisions the matcher can produce, and the most common mistakes that cause an entry to match poorly or never match at all.


1. What the Matcher Consumes

Source precedence

The catalog generator accepts trigger configuration from two places: inline frontmatter inside the agent or skill file itself, and a sidecar file placed next to the main file. The sidecar always wins when both are present.

The current sidecar format is v6. Under v6:

  • A skill stores its trigger configuration in a file named triggers.yml placed in the same directory as SKILL.md:

    skills/python/SKILL.md
    skills/python/triggers.yml   ← authoritative trigger config
    

    Per issue #150, a colocated <name>.triggers.yml next to SKILL.md (owned and project agent sidecars) overrides inline frontmatter. The SKILL.md file itself should not contain triggers:, applicable_agents:, or applicable_skills: keys; the generator emits a warning and ignores them if they appear there.

  • A plugin-shipped agent stores its trigger override at triggers/<plugin>/agents/<name>.yml (per issue #142). This file activates a dormant plugin agent that would otherwise score zero.

For the canonical field reference see docs/schema.md. For the design discussion behind the sidecar approach see docs/design/trigger-schema.md.

Schema fields

Field Where it lives Purpose
command_prefixes triggers: block Slash commands that immediately short-circuit to score 1.0.
agent_mentions triggers: block Agent names whose explicit mention in the prompt immediately short-circuits to score 1.0.
path_globs triggers: block fnmatch-style globs matched against the file_paths dimension of the input. Each matched glob adds 0.4 to the score.
keywords triggers: block List of {term, weight} mappings. Each term found in the input keywords adds 0.5 × weight to the score. Terms are Porter2-stemmed unless no_stem: true is set (see § 1 "Stemming").
no_stem per-keyword flag Optional no_stem: true on a {term, weight} mapping exempts that term from stemming — it matches the raw (unstemmed) input token verbatim. Use for acronyms, product names, and CLI flags (aws, gh, ps1).
keyword_groups triggers: block AND-group conjunctive triggers (added v0.6.0, #135). List of {slots: [{name, terms: [...]}, ...], weight} groups. A group fires only when all of its slots match — each slot must have ≥ 1 of its terms present in the input keywords. On match, the group adds 1.0 × weight (via _GROUP_MULTIPLIER, distinct from the 0.5 _KEYWORD_MULTIPLIER so a satisfied weight-1.0 group can solo-decide delegate). Use when a routing decision should require co-occurrence of two or more terms (e.g. verb + noun) rather than either alone.
tool_mentions triggers: block Tool names matched against the input tool_mentions dimension. Each match adds 0.5.
excludes triggers: block Terms that hard-zero the entry's score when found in the input keywords.
applicable_agents skill sidecar top-level Hard allowlist of agent names that may receive this skill. ["*"] means any agent. [] means no agent — the skill is dormant.
applicable_skills agent sidecar top-level Hard allowlist of skill names to attach when routing to this agent. ["*"] means any. [] means no skills.
routable agent frontmatter top-level When false, the agent is excluded from the scored-agent pool. Set to false on the router itself so it is never selected as a delegation target. Absent on skill entries.

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-authoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository glitchwerks/claude-wayfinder (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 222 tokens to every session and 7,993 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. 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.
