Claude Code Dispatch

What it does

Claude Code Dispatch allows you to send development tasks to Claude Code and receive notifications upon completion, all without needing to actively monitor the process. It leverages OpenClaw for task management and Telegram for notifications, enabling a "fire-and-forget" workflow with features like cost controls and isolated worktrees. This skill significantly reduces token usage compared to interactive sessions.

When to use it

• Automated Code Generation: Dispatch code generation tasks (e.g., creating unit tests or refactoring) and receive the results without constant monitoring.
• Parallel Development: Utilize agent teams with dedicated testing agents for concurrent development efforts across multiple isolated Git worktrees.
• Cost-Constrained Tasks: Set budget limits (--max-budget-usd) and turn limits (--max-turns) to control costs when using Claude Code.
• CI/CD Integration: Automate code review or analysis steps within your CI/CD pipelines, receiving notifications upon task completion.

Key capabilities

• Fire & Forget task dispatch with automatic callbacks
• Agent Teams for parallel development and specialized subagents
• Cost Controls: Budget and turn limits
• Git Worktree Isolation for concurrent tasks
• Custom Subagent definition via JSON configuration
• Rich Telegram notifications including status, duration, and test results

Example prompts

• "Dispatch a task to generate unit tests for src/main.py with a budget of $2."
• "Run code review on the feature-branch worktree using my custom security reviewer agent."
• "Generate documentation for the API, limiting it to 10 turns."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure OpenClaw and Claude Code CLI are installed and configured correctly before use.
• Telegram bot configuration within OpenClaw is required for notifications to function.
