async-agent-dispatch

What problem does it solve?

Long-running tasks block user interaction and waste attention by forcing synchronous waits; this Skill defines a repeatable handoff so work runs in the background and results integrate cleanly when ready.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Handoffs: Produce a concise task description, explicit output contract (file path and format), measurable success criteria, and a timeout for every dispatch.
• Multiple Dispatch Modes: Support Bash background execution, autonomous agent sub-tasks, or parallel tracks for independent workloads.
• Safe Monitoring & Validation: Avoid polling loops, rely on notifications or explicit checks, validate outputs against criteria, surface errors, and clean up temporary artifacts.
• Use Cases: Running multi-minute test suites, large codebase scans, batch transformations across many files, or splitting normalization work into parallel agent groups.

Quick Start

Dispatch the 5-minute test suite to run in the background, write results to /tmp/test-results.log, set a 10-minute timeout, and define success as "all tests pass" before returning control to the user.
