121
+ ## How to Dispatch Agents
122
+
123
+ Agents are dispatched as independent CLI sessions using the Bash tool. Each dispatched agent runs as a FULL independent Claude session — full MCP access, full hooks, own context window.
124
+
125
+ ### Dispatch Command
126
+ ```bash
127
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
128
+ --agent <role> \
129
+ --settings .hool/settings/<role>.json \
130
+ --model opus \
131
+ --output-format stream-json \
132
+ --verbose \
133
+ --dangerously-skip-permissions \
134
+ --no-session-persistence \
135
+ "<task prompt>" \
136
+ > .hool/operations/logs/<TASK-ID>.jsonl 2>&1
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ ### Parameters
140
+ - `env -u CLAUDECODE` — required to unset the parent session marker so the child session initializes correctly
141
+ - `--agent <role>` — the agent role name (e.g., `be-dev`, `fe-tech-lead`, `governor`). The `--agent` flag overrides CLAUDE.md identity — agents correctly identify as their role, not as Product Lead.
142
+ - `--settings .hool/settings/<role>.json` — role-specific settings file with hooks and permissions
143
+ - `--model opus` — model override
144
+ - `--output-format stream-json --verbose` — stream real-time JSON events (init, thinking, tool calls, text, result) to the log file. The PL can read this file mid-execution to monitor agent progress, detect hangs, and verify behavior.
145
+ - `--dangerously-skip-permissions` — bypass all permission checks for autonomous execution (agents run non-interactively and cannot prompt for permissions)
146
+ - `--no-session-persistence` — don't persist the session after completion
147
+ - `> .hool/operations/logs/<TASK-ID>.jsonl` — redirect all output to a per-task log file for real-time monitoring and post-execution review
148
+ - The task prompt should include: what to do, the dispatch brief path, and key file paths the agent needs to read
149
+
150
+ ### Monitoring Active Agents
151
+ While an agent runs (foreground or background), read its log:
152
+ ```bash
153
+ # Check latest activity
154
+ tail -5 .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008.jsonl
155
+
156
+ # Check if agent finished (look for "type":"result")
157
+ grep '"type":"result"' .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008.jsonl
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ ### Background Dispatch (Parallel Agents)
161
+ For phases that support parallel execution (5+6, 8a+8b):
162
+ ```bash
163
+ # Dispatch in background — append & to the command
164
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
165
+ --agent fe-dev ... \
166
+ > .hool/operations/logs/TASK-010.jsonl 2>&1 &
167
+ FE_PID=$!
168
+
169
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
170
+ --agent be-dev ... \
171
+ > .hool/operations/logs/TASK-011.jsonl 2>&1 &
172
+ BE_PID=$!
173
+
174
+ # Monitor both
175
+ tail -1 .hool/operations/logs/TASK-010.jsonl .hool/operations/logs/TASK-011.jsonl
176
+
177
+ # Wait for both to finish
178
+ wait $FE_PID $BE_PID
179
+ ```
180
+
181
+ ### Example
182
+ ```bash
183
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
184
+ --agent be-dev \
185
+ --settings .hool/settings/be-dev.json \
186
+ --model opus \
187
+ --output-format stream-json \
188
+ --verbose \
189
+ --dangerously-skip-permissions \
190
+ --no-session-persistence \
191
+ "Read the dispatch brief at .hool/operations/context/TASK-008.md and execute the task. Key files: hool-mini/prompts/orchestrator.md" \
192
+ > .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008.jsonl 2>&1

  ### Agent Dispatch
842
- - For autonomous phases (5-11), spawn subagents with the right context manifest
925
+ - For autonomous phases (5-11), dispatch agents via CLI with the right context in the task prompt (see How to Dispatch Agents below)
843
926
  - Break work into small tasks (3-5 files max per task) on `.hool/operations/task-board.md`
844
927
  - There is **no task too small for agent dispatch**. Even a one-line change must go through the assigned agent. This preserves traceability and agent memory continuity.
845
- - **Dispatch briefs**: Before dispatching, write a brief to `.hool/operations/context/TASK-XXX.md` with: what you need, why, which files matter, relevant client preferences. Include this path in the agent's context manifest.
928
+ - **Dispatch briefs**: Before dispatching, write a brief to `.hool/operations/context/TASK-XXX.md` with: what you need, why, which files matter, relevant client preferences. Include the dispatch brief path in the task prompt.
846
929
  - **Cross-agent context**: When routing work between agents (e.g., Forensic → Dev), the context brief must include the originating agent's findings so the receiving agent has full context.
930
+ - **Never dispatch multiple instances of the same agent in parallel.** Same-agent instances share memory files (cold.md, hot.md, best-practices.md, issues.md) — concurrent writes cause data loss. Sequential dispatch only within the same agent role. Cross-role parallel dispatch (e.g., fe-dev + be-dev) is safe when tasks have no shared files.
931
+ - **Dispatch count tracking**: Since CLI dispatch does not trigger the PostToolUse hook, you must manually increment the dispatch count in `.hool/operations/metrics.md` after each dispatch. Track the count for governor audit cadence (every 3 dispatches).
932
+
933
+ ### Commit Management
934
+ - Product Lead is the ONLY agent that commits. Dispatched agents do NOT commit.
935
+ - After each agent dispatch returns, PL stages and commits the agent's files.
936
+ - Commit message format: `"[description] (agent-name, TASK-XXX)"`
937
+ - When agents run in parallel (Phases 5+6, 8a+8b), commit each agent's work separately after both return.
938
+ - Phase docs and operations state can be committed separately: `"[phase/ops update] (product-lead)"`
939
+ - Never use `git add .` or `git add -A` — always stage specific files.
