devsquad-dispatch

devsquad-dispatch is a skill for Claude Code from joshidikshant/devsquad. It costs 43 tokens per session (473 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing skill that recommends which DevSquad agent should handle research, file reading, code changes, test writing, or code generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route research, codebase analysis, implementation, refactoring, scaffolding, and testing requests to a named agent.
Why use it?
It reduces the guesswork involved in choosing an agent for a particular kind of development task.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the devsquad plugin — 8 skills, 8 commands, 8 agents, 4 hooks shipped together

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

devsquad-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/route-task.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.

What it actually says

DevSquad Dispatch Skill

Routes tasks to the most appropriate agent based on task type analysis.

When to Use

Invoke when you need to decide which agent should handle a task:

  • Research or investigation work
  • Bulk file reading or codebase analysis
  • Code generation or scaffolding
  • Test writing or QA
  • Implementation or refactoring

Usage

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devsquad-dispatch/scripts/route-task.sh" "<task description>"

Output Format

Returns JSON with three fields:

{
  "recommended_agent": "gemini-researcher|gemini-reader|gemini-developer|gemini-tester|codex-developer|self",
  "command": "@agent-name \"task description with bounds\"",
  "reason": "Why this agent is recommended"
}

Decision Tree

Task Pattern Agent Rationale
research, investigate, find out, look up @gemini-researcher 1M context, web knowledge
read file, analyze file, understand codebase, summarize @gemini-reader 1M context for large files
write test, test coverage, unit test @gemini-tester QA with full codebase context
implement, refactor, code change @gemini-developer 1M context for codebases
generate, boilerplate, scaffold, prototype @codex-developer Fast code generation
synthesize, decide, integrate, architect self Requires Claude's judgment

Example

Task: "research the best approach for WebSocket implementation"

Output:

{
  "recommended_agent": "gemini-researcher",
  "command": "@gemini-researcher \"research the best approach for WebSocket implementation. Under 500 words.\"",
  "reason": "Research task benefits from Gemini's 1M context and web knowledge."
}
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
