SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill coordinates Lil_Hawk task dispatching with health checks, retry logic, and escalation pathways to Lil_Deep_Hawk, delivering reliable execution across a fleet of hawks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Health Check: verify hawk readiness via GET /health before dispatch.
  • Task Execution & Retry: post to /run with automatic retries and exponential backoff on failures.
  • Escalation & Gatekeeping: fallback to healthy hawk or Lil_Deep_Hawk, with optional approval gates and sandboxed execution environments.
  • Fleet Monitoring: aggregate health statuses to gate overall dispatch capability.

Quick Start

Configure a Lil_Hawk deployment to automatically perform health checks, dispatch tasks, retry on failures, and escalate to Lil_Deep_Hawk when needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate tasks with health checks and retry logic?

Task orchestration with health checks involves verifying endpoint readiness via GET /health before dispatching tasks, then executing jobs through POST /run with exponential backoff retries on failure to ensure reliable automated execution.

What is task escalation in automated dispatch orchestration?

Task escalation in dispatch orchestration is the process of falling back to a healthy agent or a deeper agent like Lil_Deep_Hawk when a primary task fails after exhausting retry attempts with exponential backoff.

How do I configure timeout and approval gates for sandboxed task execution?

Configure timeout and approval gates for sandboxed task execution by setting execution parameters that enforce safe, auditable operations, requiring manual approval before dispatching tasks to isolated environments.

Can I use fleet monitoring to gate overall task dispatch capability?

Yes, fleet monitoring aggregates health statuses across all deployed hawks to gate overall dispatch capability, ensuring tasks are only routed to verified, healthy endpoints within the Chicken Hawk environment.

Why does task dispatch fail even with retry logic and exponential backoff?

Task dispatch can fail if the target hawk remains unhealthy after all retry attempts with exponential backoff are exhausted, triggering an escalation pathway to Lil_Deep_Hawk or a fallback healthy hawk.

Does hawk-dispatch work without dependencies in a Chicken Hawk environment?

Yes, hawk-dispatch operates with no external dependencies, natively managing Lil_Hawk task orchestration, health checks, and escalation pathways within the Chicken Hawk environment.
