# Dispatch

## What it is

Dispatch is the AI agent orchestration and context management framework that manages Claude Code agent instances in this stack. It provides the lifecycle infrastructure for named agents like Lovebug — handling context windows, pre-compact hooks, session boundaries, and multi-turn agent coordination. A planned Phase 7 integration connects Dispatch's pre-compact lifecycle event to OB1 so that important context is persisted to memory before a context window is dropped.

## Current state

Active as the framework running Lovebug. The pre-compact → OB1 integration is planned (Phase 7 of OB1 deployment) but not yet implemented. The current setup uses Dispatch for agent invocation and Claude Code for tool execution, with the wiki-maintenance skill providing structured procedures.

## Where it lives

- Runs alongside Claude Code CLI on herbydev
- Configuration embedded in Claude Code / skill system
