How do I find the ID of the session I want to message?

You can view all active sessions and their corresponding IDs by running the /work-sessions command in your Manager terminal.

What happens to the message after it is dispatched?

The message is written directly to the target session's terminal as if a user typed it, and the Claude Code instance in that session will process it immediately.

What is the difference between /dispatch and /route?

/dispatch requires an exact session ID for precise targeting, while /route uses fuzzy matching by repo name and can automatically create new sessions if they don't exist.

Does /dispatch create a new session if the ID isn't found?

No, /dispatch only works with existing sessions. To create a new session, you should use the /route command or the create-worker utility.

Can I use the dispatch skill in a standard Claude Code session?

No, this skill is specifically designed to run within a 'Manager' session inside the Workstation app environment to orchestrate other sessions.

生産性とワークフロー

Routes targeted messages and terminal commands to specific Claude Code sessions using unique session IDs.

The Dispatch skill is a core coordination tool for the Workstation ecosystem, designed to facilitate complex multi-agent coding workflows. It enables a centralized 'Manager' session to send precise instructions or terminal commands to individual worker sessions, allowing for granular control over parallel tasks. This skill is essential for developers managing multiple repositories or microservices simultaneously, providing a bridge to update, query, or redirect background agents without manually switching contexts.
