Dispatcher role for an EXTERNAL top-level process running OUTSIDE Claude Code — e.g. Hermes, or any agent with terminal access + a scheduler — that holds the same solo/batch dispatch contract skills/secondmate/SKILL.md's own "Dispatch mechanics — solo and batch" section already defines for an in-session Claude Code Agent-tool dispatcher, but spawns OS-level `claude -p` processes (one fresh, zero-inherited-context process per sub-agent-supervisor) instead of Agent-tool calls.

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

# secondmate-dispatch — external OS-process dispatcher

## Scope

This file is for a dispatcher process that is itself **not** a Claude Code session: a cron job, a
long-running shell daemon, Hermes, or any other agent/scheduler with terminal access. It spawns
each sub-agent-supervisor as a separate OS process (`claude -p ...`) rather than an Agent-tool
call, and it has no `ScheduleWakeup`, no in-session hold UI, and no Agent-tool return value — only
files on disk and process exit codes. `skills/secondmate/SKILL.md` is the single source of truth
for everything about *what* the sub-supervisor does once it is running (Plan Committee, Triage,
Spawn, Guard, Check, Gate, Hold, Integrate, Teardown, Audit trail, Lesson feedback) — that file's
in-session Agent-tool top level is unedited and unaffected by this one. This file covers only what
changes for *how the dispatcher itself launches, watches, and closes out* that same contract when
it is an external OS process instead of an Agent-tool call.

## The same contract, restated briefly

Read `skills/secondmate/SKILL.md`'s "Dispatch mechanics — solo and batch" section before using this

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eshwarvijay/secondmate/secondmate-dispatch@sha256:3881c601e0ebc6f4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.a22880f, 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.
