What problem does it solve?

This skill enables automated delegation of actionable artifacts to a GitHub Actions runner, turning handoffs into autonomous background execution and ensuring traceability via issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dispatch swain-design artifacts to a GitHub Actions runner for autonomous execution.
  • Create a GitHub Issue containing the artifact content to track and audit the work.
  • Trigger the Claude Code Action workflow on the runner, with clear prerequisites documented (Claude App, workflow file, API key secret).

Quick Start

Provide the swain artifact and run the dispatch to send it to a GitHub Actions runner for background execution.

Frequently Asked Questions about swain-dispatch

FAQPage Schema
How do I dispatch artifacts to a GitHub Actions runner for autonomous execution?▼

Dispatching artifacts to a GitHub Actions runner requires a Claude GitHub App with repository permissions, a supporting workflow file, and an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret. These prerequisites enable the Claude Code Action to process the artifact autonomously in the background.

How does dispatching a SPEC to a background agent ensure traceability?▼

You need a Claude GitHub App with repo permissions, a workflow file configured for claude-code-action, and an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret to enable background dispatch. These components allow the runner to autonomously execute your provided artifact.

Can I use Claude Code Action to automate workflow handoffs in GitHub?▼

Claude Code Action automates workflow handoffs by dispatching artifacts to a GitHub Actions runner for autonomous background execution. It creates a GitHub Issue containing the artifact content to track and audit the delegated work.

What is the best way to trigger background agent execution from a GitHub workflow?▼

Trigger background agent execution by dispatching artifacts to a GitHub Actions runner via Claude Code Action. This creates a GitHub Issue for traceability and requires a Claude GitHub App, a supporting workflow file, and an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret.

Why does dispatching artifacts to a background agent require an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret?▼

Dispatching artifacts requires an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret to authenticate the Claude Code Action workflow on the GitHub Actions runner. This key authorizes the autonomous background processing of the dispatched artifact.

Do I need a Claude GitHub App to dispatch artifacts for background execution?▼

Yes, dispatching artifacts for background execution requires a Claude GitHub App with repository permissions. The app integrates with your workflow file and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret to trigger autonomous Claude Code Action processing on the runner.
