Use to launch, track, list, or wrap up a resolved app-rooted dispatch.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Prepare the dispatch

Confirm `herdr status` and the `$HERDR_PANE_ID` live record.
Resolve the [worker setup](references/dispatch-mechanics.md#resolve-the-worker-setup), register through [contacting-orchestrators](../contacting-orchestrators/SKILL.md), and [record this session's fingerprint](references/dispatch-mechanics.md#record-the-main-agent).
Team-mode cwd: [shipping-task](../shipping-task/SKILL.md#prepare-and-execute).

## Write the brief

About 300 words:

- **The work** -- per item the current symptom and required behavior, the user's exclusions, and any input, path, or port the worker cannot reach itself. Earlier findings are evidence references.
- **The anchor and who exercises it** -- the anchor, what it observes, and whether the worker runs its own checkpoint or hands its evidence to a shared one. The worker and user choose the verification method inside that anchor.
- **Its place and motive** -- where the task sits and why.

Leave out the cause, code location, and conventions: target-app discovery and work decisions stay with the worker. Name a method skill only on the user's request.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wayne930242/straw-boss/dispatching-work@sha256:0b82713ffb72883e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.812dd98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
