Advanced Dispatcher

---

name: advanced-dispatcher description: Route mid-session work to the right spawned model without changing the fixed main session. Use for coding, architecture, math, algorithms, web development, brainstorming, research, long-context reading, quick scripts, formatting, multi-model tradeoff evaluation, or structured build pipelines triggered by buildq:, build:, or buildx:. Default to strict no-Claude routing; allow Claude only when the current prompt explicitly includes --force-claude.

Advanced Dispatcher

Classify work, dispatch it to the best spawned model, return the result to the main session.

Non-negotiable rules

Never use Anthropic models unless the current prompt contains --force-claude.

Reject --use-claude, --force-opus, --no-opus.

--force-claude is prompt-scoped, not session-scoped.

Deterministic routing over ad hoc judgment.

openai-codex/* → long cache retention.

opencode-go/* → short cache retention.

Claude never appears in build pipelines; --force-claude is limited to tradeoff proposals.

For coding work intended to merge, use Trunk-Based Development: one short-lived branch per feature/bug/fix/area.

Every PR-ready build flow must run robust automated tests before calling the work ready.

Keep git-visible diffs minimal, atomic, and limited to necessary files.

Routing table

| Domain | Model | |---|---| | Code & architecture | openai-codex/gpt-5.4 | | Math & algorithms | opencode-go/glm-5 | | Web dev & brainstorming | opencode-go/minimax-m2.5 | | Research & long context | opencode-go/kimi-k2.5 | | Quick scripts & formatting | openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex-spark |

Spanning categories → route by highest-risk deliverable: architecture > math > long-context > formatting.

Tradeoff protocol

Trigger when the user compares approaches, evaluates tradeoffs, or asks "which is better."

Default proposals: opencode-go/glm-5 + openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex With --force-claude: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 + anthropic/claude-opus-4-6 Judge (always): openai-codex/gpt-5.4

Build pipelines

Trigger on buildq:, build:, or buildx: prefix.

Pre-step: create or verify one short-lived branch for the scoped work.

buildq: (quick, 5 steps)

1. plan → gpt-5.4 2. implement → gpt-5.4 3. test → glm-5 4. simplify → gpt-5.3-codex 5. retest → glm-5

build: (standard, 10 steps)

1. parallel-plan-a → gpt-5.4 2. parallel-plan-b → glm-5 3. judge-plan → gpt-5.4 4. boilerplate → gpt-5.3-codex-spark 5. implement → gpt-5.4 6. test → glm-5 7. simplify → gpt-5.3-codex 8. retest → glm-5 9. review-resolve → gpt-5.4 10. final-test → glm-5

buildx: (strict, 12 steps)

1. parallel-plan-a → gpt-5.4 2. parallel-plan-b → glm-5 3. judge-plan → gpt-5.4 4. boilerplate → gpt-5.3-codex-spark 5. implement → gpt-5.4 6. test → glm-5 7. simplify → gpt-5.3-codex 8. retest → glm-5 9. review-resolve-a → gpt-5.4 10. test-a → glm-5 11. review-resolve-b → kimi-k2.5 12. final-test → glm-5

Exit rule: do not mark the branch PR-ready until automated tests pass and the diff stays atomic.

Judge output contract

Judge-plan must emit: 1. Selected architecture 2. Why it won 3. Project/file structure 4. Implementation order 5. Branch plan (name, scope boundary) 6. Test plan 7. PR/CI test gates 8. Simplification targets 9. Done criteria

For buildx:, also include: 1. Risk list 2. Likely failure modes 3. Review checklist

Simplify contract

Must:

Remove dead code

Remove speculative abstractions

Remove duplication

Remove over-engineered interfaces

Prefer fewer files when clarity is preserved

Must not:

Rewrite architecture

Add abstractions

Expand scope

Implementation contract

dispatcher.py must produce deterministic RoutePlan objects, expose route choice + cache retention + rationale + pipeline steps, support tradeoff/buildq/build/buildx, reject empty prompts and legacy flags.

Validation checklist

1. Run test_dispatcher.py — all pass. 2. Smoke test tradeoff, buildq:, build:, buildx:. 3. Confirm Claude unreachable without --force-claude. 4. Confirm Claude never in build pipelines. 5. Confirm cache retention correctness. 6. Confirm judge output includes branch plan and PR/CI test gates.
