Claude Code Dispatch

Claude Code Dispatch
One-command dispatch of development tasks to Claude Code with automatic Telegram notification on completion. Zero polling, zero token waste.

An OpenClaw skill that wraps Claude Code CLI into a fire-and-forget workflow: dispatch a task, walk away, get notified when it's done.

Features

- Fire & Forget — nohup dispatch, automatic callback via Stop Hook
- Agent Teams — Multi-agent parallel development with dedicated Testing Agent via structured --agents JSON
- Cost Controls — --max-budget-usd spend cap + --max-turns limit + --fallback-model for overload resilience
- Git Worktree Isolation — --worktree for parallel tasks in isolated branches
- Custom Subagents — Define specialized agents (security reviewer, testing agent, etc.) via --agents-json
- Auto-Callback — Group notifications, DM callbacks, webhook wake events
- Rich Notifications — Task status, duration, test results, file tree — all in one Telegram message
- PTY Wrapper — Reliable execution even in non-TTY environments (CI, exec, cron)
- MCP Integration — Load MCP servers for tasks via --mcp-config
- System Prompt Customization — --append-system-prompt / --append-system-prompt-file
