Dispatch New Session

Launch one independent session in a background Herdr tab.

Choose

Use the invocation argument or current request as the task brief. If neither contains a concrete task, ask for it first.

Ask for the target harness with native structured input, then ask for a model compatible with that harness. Recommend the path matching the harness running this skill:

Caller	Recommended target
Claude	Claude with Opus
Codex	Codex with Sol
Pi	Pi with its configured default model

For a cross-harness dispatch, recommend that target's same default. Offer these useful alternatives:

• Claude: Opus, Fable, or another Claude model.
• Codex: Sol or another Codex model.
• Pi: its configured default or a model present in pi --list-models.

Put the recommendation first and label it Recommended. When structured input is unavailable, ask one plain-text question at a time. Never silently replace an unavailable or incompatible choice.

Dispatch

Read herdr --skill, require HERDR_ENV=1, and use the installed CLI syntax. Create a new tab in the current workspace and directory with --no-focus. Derive a short tab label and unique agent name from the task.

Start the selected harness in the tab's root pane:

• Claude: --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions --model <model>
• Codex: --yolo -m <model>; use gpt-5.6-sol for Sol.
• Pi: omit --model for the Pi default; otherwise pass the exact provider/model identifier reported by pi --list-models.

Prompt the new agent with the task brief without expanding its scope. Wait only long enough to confirm the prompt enters working or blocked; leave the session running. If startup fails before an agent starts, close only the tab created by this invocation. If blocked, inspect and report the blocker without answering it.

Report the tab, agent name, harness, model, and observed state.
