What it does

Ctx Dispatch is an agent skill from stevesolun/ctx. Coordinate nontrivial work in the ctx repository when a task has independent investigation, implementation, or test lanes; compute-heavy checks; or repetitive changes suited to scripts or codemods. Use for decomposition and concurrency decisions, not simple edits or questions.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 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 Development, covering Code migrations. The repository describes itself as: CTX Fit finds the cheapest AI coding setup that reliably works on your repository, then applies the winner as a reviewable change. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Decomposition and concurrency decisions
  • Not simple edits

Example prompts

  • “/ctx-dispatch”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the requested outcome, dependencies, and independently executable
  2. Reserve subagents for bounded semantic work that benefits from isolated
  3. Run lanes concurrently only when this reduces elapsed time without duplicate
  4. Inspect CPU, memory, and disk pressure only before genuinely compute-heavy
  5. Keep scope, dependency resolution, and synthesis with one coordinator. Merge

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11b582a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Ctx Dispatch loads about 251 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 94 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~251

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 ctx work

  1. Identify the requested outcome, dependencies, and independently executable lanes. Keep simple work local.
  2. Reserve subagents for bounded semantic work that benefits from isolated context.
  3. Run lanes concurrently only when this reduces elapsed time without duplicate work or competing writes. Give each writer disjoint ownership; keep shared files with one owner.
  4. Inspect CPU, memory, and disk pressure only before genuinely compute-heavy work, then size concurrency to the available capacity.
  5. Keep scope, dependency resolution, and synthesis with one coordinator. Merge evidence from every required lane before reporting completion.

Coordinate nontrivial work in the ctx repository when a task has independent investigation, implementation, or test lanes; compute-heavy checks; or repetitive changes suited to scripts or codemods.

When should I use Ctx Dispatch?

Ctx Dispatch fits situations like: decomposition and concurrency decisions; not simple edits.

How do I install Ctx Dispatch in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill ctx-dispatch -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/ctx-dispatch in stevesolun/ctx) into .claude/skills/ctx-dispatch in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Ctx Dispatch in Codex?

Run `npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill ctx-dispatch -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/ctx-dispatch in stevesolun/ctx) into .agents/skills/ctx-dispatch in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Ctx Dispatch in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill ctx-dispatch -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ctx-dispatch, .gemini/skills/ctx-dispatch, .github/skills/ctx-dispatch and .opencode/skills/ctx-dispatch in your project.

What does Ctx Dispatch need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Ctx Dispatch is instructions for the agent only.

Does Ctx Dispatch access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Ctx Dispatch safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Ctx Dispatch use?

Ctx Dispatch is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Ctx Dispatch use?

About 251 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Ctx Dispatch?
