122
+ ## How to Dispatch Agents
123
+
124
+ 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.
125
+
126
+ ### Dispatch Command
127
+ ```bash
128
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
129
+ --agent <role> \
130
+ --settings .hool/settings/<role>.json \
131
+ --model opus \
132
+ --output-format stream-json \
133
+ --verbose \
134
+ --dangerously-skip-permissions \
135
+ --no-session-persistence \
136
+ "<task prompt>" \
137
+ > .hool/operations/logs/<TASK-ID>-<agent>-<NN>.jsonl 2>&1
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ ### Log File Naming Convention
141
+ Log files follow the pattern: `TASK-XXX-<agent>-NN.jsonl`
142
+ - `TASK-XXX` — links to task board entry
143
+ - `<agent>` — the agent role that ran (e.g., `be-dev`, `qa`, `governor`)
144
+ - `NN` — attempt number, zero-padded (01, 02, 03...)
145
+
146
+ Examples:
147
+ - `TASK-008-be-dev-01.jsonl` — first attempt
148
+ - `TASK-008-be-dev-02.jsonl` — re-dispatch after context overflow
149
+ - `TASK-008-fe-dev-03.jsonl` — re-dispatch to different agent after forensic re-routing
150
+
151
+ Useful queries:
152
+ - `ls logs/TASK-008*` — all attempts for a task
153
+ - `ls logs/*be-dev*` — all be-dev runs
154
+ - `ls logs/*-01.jsonl` — all first attempts
155
+
156
+ ### Parameters
157
+ - `env -u CLAUDECODE` — required to unset the parent session marker so the child session initializes correctly
158
+ - `--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.
159
+ - `--settings .hool/settings/<role>.json` — role-specific settings file with hooks and permissions
160
+ - `--model opus` — model override
161
+ - `--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.
162
+ - `--dangerously-skip-permissions` — bypass all permission checks for autonomous execution (agents run non-interactively and cannot prompt for permissions)
163
+ - `--no-session-persistence` — don't persist the session after completion
164
+ - `> .hool/operations/logs/<TASK-ID>-<agent>-<NN>.jsonl` — redirect all output to a per-dispatch log file. Naming encodes task, agent, and attempt for easy filtering.
165
+ - The task prompt should include: what to do, the dispatch brief path, and key file paths the agent needs to read
166
+
167
+ ### Monitoring Active Agents
168
+ While an agent runs (foreground or background), read its log:
169
+ ```bash
170
+ # Check latest activity
171
+ tail -5 .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008-be-dev-01.jsonl
172
+
173
+ # Check if agent finished (look for "type":"result")
174
+ grep '"type":"result"' .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008-be-dev-01.jsonl
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ ### Post-Dispatch Health Check
178
+ After every agent dispatch completes, run these checks on the log file **before** marking the task complete:
179
+
180
+ ```bash
181
+ # 1. Check completion status
182
+ grep '"type":"result"' .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008-be-dev-01.jsonl
183
+
184
+ # 2. Check for context overflow (agent ran out of context space)
185
+ grep -q '"stop_reason":"model_context_window_exceeded"' .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008-be-dev-01.jsonl && echo "CONTEXT OVERFLOW"
186
+
187
+ # 3. Check for output token limit hit (response truncated)
188
+ grep -q '"stop_reason":"max_tokens"' .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008-be-dev-01.jsonl && echo "MAX TOKENS HIT"
189
+
190
+ # 4. Check for errors
191
+ grep -q '"is_error":true' .hool/operations/logs/TASK-008-be-dev-01.jsonl && echo "AGENT ERROR"
192
+ ```
193
+
194
+ **Handling failures:**
195
+
196
+ | Signal | Meaning | Action |
197
+ |---|---|---|
198
+ | `model_context_window_exceeded` | Agent's context filled up — work likely incomplete | Split the task into smaller sub-tasks and re-dispatch. Log `[CONTEXT-OVERFLOW]` to cold log. |
199
+ | `max_tokens` | Agent hit output token limit — response truncated | Re-dispatch with instruction to continue from where it left off. Log `[MAX-TOKENS]` to cold log. |
200
+ | `is_error: true` | Agent encountered an error | Read the error from the result event. Fix the cause (missing file, permission issue, etc.) and re-dispatch. Log `[AGENT-ERROR]` to cold log. |
201
+ | No `"type":"result"` found | Agent crashed or was killed | Check process status. Re-dispatch if needed. Log `[AGENT-CRASH]` to cold log. |
202
+ | `stop_reason: "end_turn"` | Normal completion | Proceed with verification. |
203
+
204
+ ### Agent Completion Report
205
+ All agents are required to output a **completion report** as the last thing they do. Parse this from the agent's final text output in the log to verify:
206
+ - Which files were created/modified/deleted
207
+ - Whether the task scope was respected (no unexpected file changes)
208
+ - Any issues or blockers the agent encountered
209
+
210
+ If the agent's reported files don't match the actual `git diff` after the agent ran, investigate before committing.
211
+
212
+ ### Background Dispatch (Parallel Agents)
213
+ For phases that support parallel execution (5+6, 8a+8b):
214
+ ```bash
215
+ # Dispatch in background — append & to the command
216
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
217
+ --agent fe-dev ... \
218
+ > .hool/operations/logs/TASK-010-fe-dev-01.jsonl 2>&1 &
219
+ FE_PID=$!
220
+
221
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
222
+ --agent be-dev ... \
223
+ > .hool/operations/logs/TASK-011-be-dev-01.jsonl 2>&1 &
224
+ BE_PID=$!
225
+
226
+ # Monitor both
227
+ tail -1 .hool/operations/logs/TASK-010-fe-dev-01.jsonl .hool/operations/logs/TASK-011-be-dev-01.jsonl
228
+
229
+ # Wait for both to finish
230
+ wait $FE_PID $BE_PID
231
+ ```
232
+
233
+ ### Example
234
+ ```bash
235
+ env -u CLAUDECODE claude -p \
236
+ --agent be-dev \
237
+ --settings .hool/settings/be-dev.json \
238
+ --model opus \
239
+ --output-format stream-json \
240
+ --verbose \
241
+ --dangerously-skip-permissions \
242
+ --no-session-persistence \
243
+ "Read the dispatch brief at .hool/operations/context/TASK-008.md and execute the task. Key files: hool-mini/prompts/orchestrator.md" \
244

  ### Agent Dispatch
842
- - For autonomous phases (5-11), spawn subagents with the right context manifest
977
+ - For autonomous phases (5-11), dispatch agents via CLI with the right context in the task prompt (see How to Dispatch Agents below)
843
978
  - Break work into small tasks (3-5 files max per task) on `.hool/operations/task-board.md`
844
979
  - 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.
980
+ - **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
981
  - **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.
982
+ - **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.
983
+ - **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).
984
+
985
+ ### Commit Management
986
+ - Product Lead is the ONLY agent that commits. Dispatched agents do NOT commit.
987
+ - After each agent dispatch returns, PL stages and commits the agent's files.
988
+ - Commit message format: `"[description] (agent-name, TASK-XXX)"`
989
+ - When agents run in parallel (Phases 5+6, 8a+8b), commit each agent's work separately after both return.
990
+ - Phase docs and operations state can be committed separately: `"[phase/ops update] (product-lead)"`
991
+ - Never use `git add .` or `git add -A` — always stage specific files.
