- OpenCode Dispatcher is a workflow pack for OpenCode. It installs specialist agents so substantial coding work can run from explicit task specs instead of long chat history.
17
-
18
- It is useful when you want agent work to be easier to inspect, resume, and validate:
19
-
20
- - task scope in `.ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/task-spec.md`
21
- - durable project facts in `.ai/context.md`
22
- - role boundaries between planning, test writing, implementation, documentation, validation, research, and shipping work
23
- - short handoffs in chat, with details kept in task artifacts
24
- - validation reports checked against the approved scope
25
-
26
- For tiny one-off edits, plain OpenCode is often enough.
27
-
28
- ## What It Does
29
-
30
- OpenCode Dispatcher replaces OpenCode's default single-agent approach with a team of specialist agents coordinated through file-based artifacts. Each agent has a defined role and boundary. The orchestrator routes work, delegates to the right agent, and synthesizes results back to you.
31
-
32
- All task state lives in `.ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/` artifacts — task specs, implementation reports, validation reports, documentation reports — rather than in chat history.
33
-
34
- | Agent | Role | When |
35
- |---|---|---|
36
- | Orchestrator | User-facing coordinator; state-machine routing | Always active |
37
- | Task Planner | Task specs and multi-unit decomposition | Used before implementation |
38
- | Test Writer | Writes tests from testable acceptance criteria | Used before implementation (test-driven) |
39
- | Implementer | Edits source code per approved task spec | Used after spec is approved |
40
- | Validator | Checks results against task spec and writes `validation-report.md` | Used after implementation |
41
- | Documentation | Updates docs, context, decision artifacts | Used when docs are needed |
42
- | Research | Gathers external facts, comparisons, best practices | Used when facts are needed |
43
- | Shipper | Git commit and push only | Used when explicitly requested |
44
- | Executor | Tiny single-file atomic edits | Used for unambiguous one-liners |
45
- | Init | Bootstraps `.ai/context.md` on first project use | Used once per project |

+ OpenCode Dispatcher is a workflow pack for OpenCode that adds specialist development agents coordinated through file-based task artifacts.
4
+
5
+ It is designed for substantial coding work where you want the agent workflow to be easier to inspect, resume, and validate.
6
+
7
+ Instead of relying on long chat history, Dispatcher keeps durable task state in your project:
8
+
9
+ ```text
10
+ .ai/context.md
11
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/task-spec.md
12
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/implementation-report.md
13
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/validation-report.md
14
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/documentation-report.md
15
+ ```
16
+
17
+ For tiny one-off edits or quick questions, plain OpenCode is often enough.
18
+
19
+ ## What Dispatcher Changes
20
+
21
+ Plain OpenCode is usually a general-purpose agent workflow.
22
+
23
+ OpenCode Dispatcher adds a user-facing orchestrator and a set of specialist agents. The orchestrator talks with you, clarifies the request, decides how complex the work is, and routes to the smallest safe workflow.
24
+
25
+ Not every agent runs every time.

+ ```
50
+
51
+ The chat is used for coordination. The `.ai/` files become the source of truth for scoped work.
52
+
53
+ ## Why Use It?
54
+
55
+ Dispatcher is useful when you want agent work to be:
56
+
57
+ * easier to inspect
58
+ * easier to resume later
59
+ * easier to validate against an approved scope
60
+ * less dependent on chat history
61
+ * separated by role boundaries
62
+ * safer for multi-step development work
63
+ * more suitable for git-tracked project artifacts
64
+
65
+ It helps answer questions like:
66
+
67
+ * What exactly was the agent asked to build?
68
+ * What files were relevant?
69
+ * What was explicitly out of scope?
70
+ * What tests or checks were expected?
71
+ * What did the implementer change?
72
+ * Did the validator check the result against the approved task?
73
+
74
+ ## Compared to Plain OpenCode
75
+
76
+ | Dimension | Plain OpenCode | OpenCode Dispatcher |
77
+ | ------------ | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
78
+ | Task scope | Usually carried in chat history | Stored in `.ai/tasks/<NNN>-<id>/task-spec.md` |
79
+ | Agent model | General-purpose agent | Specialist agents with role boundaries |
80
+ | Validation | Often implicit | Explicit validation against the task spec |
81
+ | Resumability | Requires reading chat history | Read the task spec and reports |
82
+ | Audit trail | Chat log | Git-trackable `.ai/` artifacts |
83
+ | Best for | Quick edits and one-off questions | Substantial features and multi-step work |
84
+
85
+ ## Core Idea
86
+
87
+ Dispatcher separates live conversation from durable project state.

98
+ The orchestrator stays user-facing. Specialist agents do the scoped work.
99
+
100
+ ## Workflow Layers
101
+
102
+ Dispatcher installs several agents, but they are grouped by when they are used.
103
+
104
+ ### Always Active
105
+
106
+ | Agent | Role | Used When |
107
+ | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------- |
108
+ | Orchestrator | User-facing coordinator and state-machine router | Always active |
109
+
110
+ The orchestrator is the main entry point. It talks with you, clarifies the request, decides whether work is simple or substantial, delegates to the right specialist, and summarizes results.
111
+
112
+ ### Fast Path
113
+
114
+ | Agent | Role | Used When |
115
+ | -------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
116
+ | Executor | Performs tiny single-file atomic edits | For exact, unambiguous one-file changes |
117
+
118
+ The executor is used when a full task spec would be unnecessary.
119
+
120
+ Example:
121
+
122
+ ```text
123
+ Change the button label in src/components/SubmitButton.tsx from "Submit" to "Save".
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ If the edit turns out to need multiple files, a new pattern, a dependency, or an architecture decision, the orchestrator escalates the work into the full task workflow.
127
+
128
+ ### Full Task Workflow
129
+
130
+ | Agent | Role | Used When |
131
+ | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
132
+ | Task Planner | Creates task specs and decomposes multi-unit work | Before substantial implementation |
133
+ | Implementer | Edits source code according to an approved task spec | After planning |
134
+ | Validator | Checks completed work against the task spec | After non-trivial implementation |
135
+
136
+ This is the main route for substantial development work.
137
+
138
+ ```mermaid

+ sequenceDiagram
140
+ participant U as User
141
+ participant O as Orchestrator
142
+ participant P as Task Planner
143

152
+ O->>V: Validate against task spec
153
+ V-->>O: validation-report.md
154
+ O-->>U: Summary and next step
155
+ ```
156
+
157
+ The task planner creates the approved scope:
158
+
159
+ ```text
160
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/task-spec.md
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ The implementer makes the smallest correct change according to that scope.
164
+
165
+ The validator checks the completed work against the approved scope and writes:
166
+
167
+ ```text
168
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/validation-report.md
169
+ ```
170
+
171
+ ### Conditional Agents
172
+
173
+ | Agent | Role | Used When |
174
+ | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
175
+ | Test Writer | Writes tests from testable acceptance criteria | When a test-first flow is useful |
176
+ | Documentation | Updates docs, context, decisions, and documentation reports | When documentation work is needed |
177
+ | Research | Gathers external facts, comparisons, and best practices | When source-backed evidence is needed |
178
+
179
+ These agents are not part of every task.
180
+
181
+ The test writer is used when the task has clear testable acceptance criteria and writing tests first would improve correctness.
182
+
183
+ The documentation agent is used when the task needs README updates, project context updates, decision notes, changelog entries, or documentation reports.
184
+
185
+ The research agent is used when a decision depends on external facts such as official documentation, vendor behaviour, pricing, APIs, or current best practices.
186
+
187
+ ### Bootstrap and Shipping
188
+
189
+ | Agent | Role | Used When |
190
+ | ------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
191
+ | Init | Bootstraps `.ai/context.md` | First use in a project |
192
+ | Shipper | Handles git commit and push only | When explicitly requested |
193
+
194
+ The init agent is used when a project does not yet have `.ai/context.md`.
195
+
196
+ The shipper is never used automatically. It only commits or pushes when you explicitly ask for git shipping work.

285
+ ## Project Artifacts
286
+
287
+ Dispatcher stores durable project and task state under `.ai/`.
288
+
289
+ ### Project Context
290
+
291
+ ```text
292
+ .ai/context.md
293
+ ```
294
+
295
+ Stores durable project facts such as:
296
+
297
+ * test framework
298
+ * test runner command
299
+ * test file patterns
300
+ * UI framework
301
+ * styling conventions
302
+ * naming conventions
303
+ * file layout
304
+ * project-specific rules
305
+ * stable decisions
306
+
307
+ ### Task Scope
308
+
309
+ ```text
310
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/task-spec.md
311
+ ```
312
+
313
+ Stores the approved task scope, including:
314
+
315
+ * scope
316
+ * non-goals
317
+ * testable acceptance criteria
318
+ * inspectable acceptance criteria
319
+ * relevant files
320
+ * validation plan
321

327
+ .ai/tasks/<NNN>-<task-id>/documentation-report.md
328
+ ```
329
+
330
+ Reports capture what changed, what was verified, and what remains open.
331
+
332
+ ## First Use in a Project
333
+
334
+ 1. Install Dispatcher.
335
+ 2. Restart OpenCode.
336
+ 3. Open your project in OpenCode.
337
+ 4. If the project does not already have `.ai/context.md`, the orchestrator will initialize project context before substantial work.
338
+ 5. For substantial work, ask the orchestrator to create a task spec first.
339
+ 6. Review or approve the task spec.
340
+ 7. Ask the orchestrator to implement and validate the approved task.
341
+
342
+ Example:
343
+
344
+ ```text
345
+ Create a task spec for improving the settings page, then wait for approval.
346
+ ```
347
+
348
+ After approving the spec:
349
+
350
+ ```text
351
+ Implement the approved task spec at .ai/tasks/001-settings-page/task-spec.md and run validation.

503
+ ## When Not to Use Dispatcher
504
+
505
+ Dispatcher is probably unnecessary when you only need:
506
+
507
+ * a quick explanation
508
+ * a tiny one-off edit
509
+ * exploratory prototyping
510
+ * casual code suggestions
511
+ * work where formal task artifacts would slow you down
512
+
513
+ Use Dispatcher when the structure is worth it. Use the fast path or plain OpenCode when it is not.
