At a glance

A skill your agent uses when routing well-specified implementation work from Fable to Codex or another side worker.

  • Routing well-specified implementation work from Fable to Codex
  • SKILL.md covers Dispatch When, Keep With Fable Or A Higher…, Dispatch Packet and Mechanics, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls codex
  • Another side worker

What it does

Codex Dispatch is an agent skill from 100yenadmin/fable-token-saving-skills-orchestrator. Use when routing well-specified implementation work from Fable to Codex or another side worker.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management. The repository describes itself as: 🧚 Fable-first Claude orchestration kit for token-saving lane routing, dense turns, and cache-preserving wait discipline. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Routing well-specified implementation work from Fable to Codex
  • Another side worker

Example prompts

  • “/codex-dispatch”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cf1d9a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • codex

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Codex Dispatch loads about 658 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~658

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Codex Dispatch

Premium tokens buy judgment. Codex or side-worker capacity buys implementation volume when the task is well specified.

Dispatch When

  • the task is self-contained
  • the spec carries enough context
  • acceptance criteria are explicit
  • the work can happen on a side branch or bounded file set
  • Fable can review the result instead of typing it

Keep With Fable Or A Higher Local Lane When

  • the task is architecture, product strategy, or final judgment
  • the implementation depends on local-only tools the side worker lacks
  • the acceptance criteria are unclear
  • the task requires private credentials or live user action

Dispatch Packet

Include:

  • objective
  • repo/path/branch
  • files or areas involved
  • constraints and non-goals
  • pseudocode for hard parts
  • exact validation command or CI gate
  • proof boundary
  • expected final report shape

Mechanics

Some lanes are reachable through a CLI rather than a workflow model parameter. When a background shell launches a side worker, close stdin explicitly if the tool expects EOF. For Codex CLI, use:

bash
codex exec --cd <worktree> "<prompt>" < /dev/null

Without the redirected stdin, some background shells can leave the worker waiting at startup instead of doing work.

Skill Availability

Side workers do not automatically see every local Claude skill. Port skills on demand when a dispatch needs them; do not mirror an entire skill library by default.

Example:

bash
ln -sfn "$HOME/.claude/skills/<skill>" "$HOME/.codex/skills/<skill>"

Name the required skill in the dispatch packet and keep the accepted output bounded. If the side worker lacks a required skill and the work is not self-contained, keep the task with Fable or a local lane.

Review Rule

If the diff or report is large, ask a fast worker for a bounded digest first. Fable reads the digest and flagged hunks, not the whole raw output.

Attribution And Adjacent Tools

This dispatch pattern is inspired in part by blader/arbitrage, which focuses on premium-model judgment plus Codex implementation. Claude Code users who want a slash-command bridge to Codex review and delegation workflows can also look at openai/codex-plugin-cc.

FTSO's own guidance remains tool-agnostic: write the spec first, dispatch only bounded work, review the output before accepting it, keep turns dense while lanes run, and name the proof boundary.
