nobrainer-dispatcher

nobrainer-dispatcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nobrainer-tech/nobrainer-tech-skills. It costs 88 tokens per session (2,426 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work scheduler that turns an approved task plan into ordered batches, including limited parallel work and retries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select ready tasks, order dependent work, control parallel batches, retry failed units, and pass results to the next task.
Why use it?
It prevents tasks from running before their dependencies are ready and keeps scheduling separate from implementation.

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

nobrainer-dispatcher 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NoBrainer Dispatcher

Turn an approved detailed plan into a controlled sequence of work batches. Own readiness, ordering, backpressure and scheduler state; never own requirements, implementation, session identity or final acceptance evidence.

Keep the boundaries explicit:

  • nobrainer-ultra owns intent, the canonical plan and lifecycle;
  • nobrainer-team owns the minimum roles and capability sources;
  • Dispatcher owns which already-defined work unit may run now;
  • nobrainer-sessions owns exact session identity, transport, lease and receive-audit;
  • the assigned method owns the work product;
  • nobrainer-review owns the independent close gate when required.

A single coherent work unit stays in MAIN and marks Dispatcher NOT_NEEDED. Parallelism is an optimization earned by independent work, not the default. When the owner explicitly invokes Dispatcher only to inspect such a map, Dispatcher owns that scheduler inspection and returns NOT_NEEDED; MAIN remains the owner of the work unit and its product. Keep control ownership distinct from work ownership in every report.

Preconditions

Dispatch only from a visible canonical ledger whose executable rows contain:

TASK_ID | OUTCOME | METHOD | MODEL_POLICY | OWNER_OR_ROLE | DEPENDENCIES | WRITE_SCOPE |
ACCEPTANCE_AND_EVIDENCE | PARALLEL_GROUP | OWNER_GATE | STATUS

Also require the frozen plan/spec ref, current checkout and state fingerprint, retry and attention budgets, stop conditions, integration owner and rollback. If requirements, task boundaries, dependencies, acceptance or authority remain undefined, return to nobrainer-ultra; Dispatcher must not repair a vague plan by improvising worker prompts.

Before assigning any worker, require a completed nobrainer-team capability and role stage. Use one canonical cross-skill transition:

Team -> Dispatcher SCHEDULE -> Sessions setup/delegate -> Dispatcher DISPATCH

Sessions alone owns identity preflight and prompt transport. Dispatcher selects the batch before that call and records READY -> SENT only from Sessions' successful transport readback. A role name or conversation title is not a transport address.

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.
