outfitter-dispatch 0.1.0

Local control plane for orchestrating Codex agent lanes over the Codex App Server.

dispatch

Local control plane for orchestrating Codex agent lanes over the Codex App Server. One authored contract per operation, projected to CLI + MCP (+ remote later) with no drift.

Quick Start

Install the CLI from PyPI:

uv tool install outfitter-dispatch
dispatch --help
dispatchd --help

From a source checkout:

uv sync
uv run dispatch --help
uv run dispatch up
uv run dispatch daemon status

Open an owned lane, send it work, and inspect the daemon:

uv run dispatch new \
  --name docs \
  --cwd /path/to/dispatch \
  --text "Please summarize the current stack state."
uv run dispatch lane tail "@[dispatch] docs" --limit 20
uv run dispatch goal set "@[dispatch] docs" "Finish the docs review."
uv run dispatch daemon log --limit 10
uv run dispatch down

Use owned lanes for writes. Existing desktop Codex threads can be attached, but v0 treats attached lanes as observe-only: mutating commands such as send, stop, lane archive, goal set, goal clear, lane fork, lane rollback, and lane compact are blocked by ADR-0005.

Agent And Plugin Support

This repo ships first-party skills in skills/:

• skills/dispatch/SKILL.md teaches agents how to operate dispatch safely.
• skills/dm/SKILL.md is the dispatch-backed "dispatch message" workflow for short inter-lane messages.

The workspace-local Codex plugin bundle lives at plugins/dispatch/, with a marketplace entry in .agents/plugins/marketplace.json. Restart Codex if the plugin does not appear immediately.

Project Docs

• docs/development/design.md - architecture and design notes.
• docs/adrs/ - accepted architecture decisions.
• docs/research/ - verified Codex App Server findings.
• .agents/plans/v0/RETRO.md - v0 execution ledger and verification record.

For contributors, AGENTS.md is the canonical fieldguide.
