armada-dispatch

armada-dispatch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rafmacalaba/armada. It costs 47 tokens per session (378 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for assigning independent coding tasks to multiple subagents at the same time. Subagents are AI workers given separate parts of a larger task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan parallel work, dispatch agents with non-overlapping file scopes, and wait for all results before review.
Why use it?
It avoids file conflicts by requiring parallel tasks to have separate file ownership and dependencies.

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

armada-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.

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

Armada: Parallel Subagent Dispatch

When two or more tasks are independent, dispatch them as parallel subagents. The key constraint: parallel tasks must write disjoint files. Shared files force serialization.

Rules

  1. Build a dependency graph from the phase list. Independent phases (no shared deps) can run in parallel.
  2. Check file scope: two phases can run in parallel only if they never write the same file. Prefer per-phase file isolation (e.g. src/<feature>.js + its test).
  3. Backend-dev and frontend-dev within the same phase can run in parallel when the API contract is fixed first, since they write different source trees.
  4. Wait for all dispatched subagents to return before gating the phase. Do not end your turn with background work outstanding.
  5. When NOT to parallelize: shared output file, sequential dependency between tasks, or one task's output is the other's input. Serialize writers on a reused subagent session.

Example: Phase 2 (API) and Phase 3 (UI) are independent and write src/api/ vs src/ui/ — dispatch both as parallel background subagents.

Adaptive roster

  • Infer risk from changed surface; keep non-required roles standby.
  • QA is always active. Low risk uses implementer + QA; high risk adds security and adversary, with architect for shared or cross-cutting design.
  • Separate voyages use separate worktrees and run concurrently. Return compact receipts with Status, Files, Evidence, Result, Risks, and Next.

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.
