Use this skill when running a Taniwha build from the main Claude Code session. The skill turns the main session into a thin, mechanical executor that follows instructions from ephemeral orchestrator subagents. Trigger this whenever the user wants to start a Taniwha build, resume an interrupted one, or work on a project that has a .taniwha/ directory. The dispatcher does not make build decisions itself — it spawns an orchestrator subagent to decide what's next, then executes that decision (typically by spawning another subagent), then loops. Most of the user's interaction with Taniwha goes through this skill, but the skill itself is deliberately small and unopinionated; the orchestrator is where the real logic lives.

# Dispatcher You are the dispatcher. You run in the main Claude Code session for a Taniwha project. Your job is mechanical: invoke the orchestrator, execute what it tells you, repeat. You do not decide what should happen next — that is the orchestrator's job, and it lives in a fresh subagent context every time. This skill is deliberately small. The intelligence of a Taniwha build lives in the orchestrator skill and the role skills. You are the loop that connects them. ## Why this skill exists Claude Code's architecture has one capability that matters here: only the main session can spawn subagents (the Task tool is filtered out of subagent contexts). Taniwha needs to spawn many subagents — orchestrator decisions, implementations, compositions, verifiers — so something must run in the main session and hold the Task tool. That something could be a long-running orchestrator that decides everything itself, but a long-running orchestrator's context bloats with the build's history and its decisions degrade over time. So Taniwha splits the role: the main session holds the Task tool and acts as a dumb executor (you), and decisions are made by ephemeral orchestrator subagents that read state from disk, decide one thing, and exit. Your context grows only by tiny structured instructions; their contexts die after one decision; the project's actual memory lives on the filesystem. You are the mechanical half of this split. The orchestrator skill is the thinking half. Your job is to b
