What it does

Dispatch is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Delegate tasks to OpenAI Codex CLI and Google Antigravity CLI from Claude Code. Say 'check with codex' or 'ask gemini for a second opinion' and Claude runs the other agent, keeps a topic-aware session, and critiques the result.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “check with codex”
  • “ask gemini for a second opinion”
  • “/dispatch”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Routes to the right CLI based on the tool you name — "codex" invokes Codex CLI, "gemini" or "agy" invokes Antigravity CLI
  2. Picks sensible defaults — Codex: gpt-5.5, read-only sandbox; Antigravity: Gemini 3.5 Flash (or the model you name)
  3. Synthesizes the result — Claude summarizes findings, states where it agrees or disagrees, and recommends next steps
  4. Tracks topics — each delegation gets its own external session, resumed by ID on follow-ups

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. 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
    • gemini
    • claude

    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

Dispatch loads about 701 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~701

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.

Dispatch

Delegate tasks to external AI CLIs from inside Claude Code. Say "check with codex", "ask gemini for a second opinion", or "validate this before I merge" and Claude runs the other agent, keeps a topic-aware conversation, and critiques the result rather than echoing it.

Supports OpenAI Codex CLI and Google Antigravity CLI (multi-model: Gemini, Claude, GPT-OSS). No API keys — both CLIs use their own auth (OAuth / Google sign-in).

When to Use This Skill

  • Getting a second opinion from a different model family before merging
  • Cross-checking Claude's analysis against Codex or Gemini
  • Delegating a side task (research, review, image generation) to another CLI
  • Triangulating a decision across multiple models and having Claude reconcile disagreements
  • Resuming a prior delegation thread without restating context

What This Skill Does

  1. Routes to the right CLI based on the tool you name — "codex" invokes Codex CLI, "gemini" or "agy" invokes Antigravity CLI
  2. Picks sensible defaults — Codex: gpt-5.5, read-only sandbox; Antigravity: Gemini 3.5 Flash (or the model you name)
  3. Synthesizes the result — Claude summarizes findings, states where it agrees or disagrees, and recommends next steps
  4. Tracks topics — each delegation gets its own external session, resumed by ID on follow-ups

Examples

Second opinion on code
User: ask codex to review my uncommitted changes before I merge

Claude: [runs codex review --uncommitted, synthesizes findings]
        Codex flagged three things. I agree with #1 (missing null check)
        but #2 and #3 are false positives. Want me to fix the null check?
Cross-model challenge
User: ask gemini to challenge this architecture

Claude: [runs agy with Gemini 3.1 Pro, compares with own analysis]
        Gemini raises a valid concern about hot-partition risk that I
        hadn't flagged. Its other two points don't apply here.
Resume a thread
User: continue with codex — is the top issue real?

Claude: [resumes the same codex session with a delta bridge]
        Codex confirms the null-check issue — it traced the code path.

Requirements

  • Claude Code (the plugin runs inside it)
  • For Codex: codex CLI + codex login (OAuth)
  • For Antigravity: agy CLI + Google sign-in (free account)
