Dispatch Agent Skill

Delegate tasks to OpenAI Codex CLI and Google Antigravity CLI from Claude Code. Say 'check with codex' or 'ask gemini for a second opinion' and Claude runs the other agent, keeps a topic-aware session, and critiques the result.

Dispatch

Delegate tasks to external AI CLIs from inside Claude Code. Say "check with codex", "ask gemini for a second opinion", or "validate this before I merge" and Claude runs the other agent, keeps a topic-aware conversation, and critiques the result rather than echoing it.

Supports OpenAI Codex CLI and Google Antigravity CLI (multi-model: Gemini, Claude, GPT-OSS). No API keys — both CLIs use their own auth (OAuth / Google sign-in).

When to Use This Skill

Getting a second opinion from a different model family before merging
Cross-checking Claude's analysis against Codex or Gemini
Delegating a side task (research, review, image generation) to another CLI
Triangulating a decision across multiple models and having Claude reconcile disagreements
Resuming a prior delegation thread without restating context

What This Skill Does

Routes to the right CLI based on the tool you name — "codex" invokes Codex CLI, "gemini" or "agy" invokes Antigravity CLI
Picks sensible defaults — Codex: gpt-5.5, read-only sandbox; Antigravity: Gemini 3.5 Flash (or the model you name)
Synthesizes the result — Claude summarizes findings, states where it agrees or disagrees, and recommends next steps
Tracks topics — each delegation gets its own external session, resumed by ID on follow-ups

Examples

Second opinion on code

User: ask codex to review my uncommitted changes before I merge

Claude: [runs codex review --uncommitted, synthesizes findings]
        Codex flagged three things. I agree with #1 (missing null check)
        but #2 and #3 are false positives. Want me to fix the null check?

Cross-model challenge

User: ask gemini to challenge this architecture

Claude: [runs agy with Gemini 3.1 Pro, compares with own analysis]
        Gemini raises a valid concern about hot-partition risk that I
        hadn't flagged. Its other two points don't apply here.

Resume a thread

User: continue with codex — is the top issue real?

Claude: [resumes the same codex session with a delta bridge]
        Codex confirms the null-check issue — it traced the code path.

Requirements

Claude Code (the plugin runs inside it)
For Codex: codex CLI + codex login (OAuth)
For Antigravity: agy CLI + Google sign-in (free account)

Install: claude install-plugin sparklingneuronics/sparkling-skills

Hook Development

by anthropics

vendor ×2

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take davepoon/dispatch from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
