dispatch-starter

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes friction between mobile and desktop Cowork sessions by guiding users through pairing their phone and sending the first remote task, so users can control desktop workflows from anywhere.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Step-by-step pairing: Guides users through the QR code pairing flow between the Claude mobile app and Cowork on the desktop.
• First-task orchestration: Helps pick and dispatch a low-risk visible test task (file creation, email summary, or calendar check) to confirm end-to-end functionality.
• Troubleshooting and validation: Confirms account matching, desktop availability, and common fixes if pairing or task execution fails.
• Use case: Send a dispatch while commuting to run a file operation or generate a meeting brief on your desktop so the result arrives on your phone.

Quick Start

Open the Claude mobile app, scan the Dispatch QR code shown in your desktop Cowork settings, and send the message "Create a file called dispatch-test.md that says Dispatch is working with today's date and time."
