dispatch-and-track

dispatch-and-track is a skill for Codex from keithhegit/ultra-orchestration. It costs 46 tokens per session (352 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A work-routing and run-tracking guide for projects where tasks move between phases or coding agents. It records dependencies, ownership, retries, blockers, reviews, and integration state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign work packages, protect files owned by different tasks, control retries, summarize blockers, and keep a structured execution ledger up to date.
Why use it?
It reduces conflicts between parallel tasks and makes it clear what can run, what is blocked, and what still needs review.

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-and-track 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Dispatch And Track

Use the plan to route work safely and keep the run ledger current.

In STRICT and STRICT_OPENSPEC, the ledger is mandatory. If ledger.json cannot be initialized or updated by the host/script layer, stop with a blocker instead of replacing it with a prose-only log.

Update

  • current_stage
  • task_status
  • dependencies_satisfied
  • retry_counts
  • max_retries
  • active_write_locks
  • blockers
  • pending_review
  • integration_status
  • current run_mode
  • current OpenSpec change and slice status when present
  • control_surface_used intent for delivery

Rules

  • Only treat a work package as runnable when its dependencies are satisfied.
  • Parallelize only work packages with disjoint owned paths.
  • If packages overlap, serialize them and record why.
  • Record active write locks before execution starts.
  • Allow one retry only for transient failures.
  • Convert blockers into clear summaries with evidence and recommended next actions.
  • Prefer host-script ledger updates over asking the model to rewrite the full ledger object.
  • Require JSON or structured AgentResult before marking work review-ready.
  • For STRICT_OPENSPEC, update or propose OpenSpec-side slice status after each completed implementation slice.

Use the ledger shape in ../ultra-orchestrator/references/contracts.md.

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.
