How are workers monitored?

Workers are tracked via PID files and logs stored in a central .orchestrator directory, with status updates periodically posted as comments on the relevant GitHub issue.

Can I limit the number of active workers?

Yes, the skill includes parallel dispatch logic that checks available slots and manages a queue, ensuring your system resources aren't overwhelmed by too many concurrent processes.

Why does this skill use git worktrees?

Git worktrees allow multiple workers to operate on different branches and filesystems simultaneously within the same repository, providing perfect isolation for parallel development.

What is a worker in the context of Worker Dispatch?

A worker is an isolated, disposable Claude process spawned to solve a specific GitHub issue within its own dedicated git worktree, ensuring no interference with other tasks.

What happens if a worker reaches its turn limit before finishing?

The skill implements a handover protocol where the current worker creates a state file, allowing a replacement worker to be spawned and continue the task seamlessly.

生产力与工作流

Spawns and manages isolated, autonomous worker agents to resolve GitHub issues in parallel using git worktrees.

关于

Worker Dispatch is an advanced orchestration skill designed to scale autonomous software development by spawning disposable, task-specific Claude processes. It leverages git worktrees to provide each worker with a completely isolated environment, preventing state collisions while enabling parallel execution across multiple issues. The skill automates the entire worker lifecycle—from constructing context-rich prompts and managing process PIDs to handling handovers when turn limits are reached—ensuring that complex development workflows remain organized and traceable through GitHub.
