0.4.11 is an experimental developer preview.

Behavior may change. Local execution is not a security sandbox: agents run with your operating-system permissions, so start with a repository you can restore. Windows, SSH/tmux, and native GUI terminals are not certified.

Install and verify

Put Dispatch on your PATH.

These commands verify the archive, then install Dispatch in $HOME/.local/bin. The archive contains only the executable, LICENSE, INSTALL.md, and BUILD.json. No provider tool, account state, or font is bundled.

"$HOME/.local/bin/dispatch" version

Ensure $HOME/.local/bin is on your PATH. Dispatch also requires Git and curl at runtime. After upgrading, run dispatch stop && dispatch start in each watched project so the watcher runs the new binary. Upgrading from a 0.1.x state directory runs the normal migrations and leaves a backup beside the database; see the install and upgrade notes.

Install with Cargo

Build from the public repository.

Advanced users can install with the current stable Rust toolchain and Git. Dispatch is not published to crates.io.

Source installation

cargo install --git https://github.com/rundispatch/dispatch --tag v0.4.11 --locked
dispatch version

First run

Watch a project and attach an agent.

Start watching a repository you can restore, then run your agent through dispatch attach. Dispatch gives it an isolated workspace and checks its Work against your code before you review it. No agent profile is needed for this.

Read the full quick start

First run

cd my-project
dispatch start                # watch this project in the background
dispatch attach -- claude     # or codex, or any agent CLI
dispatch watch                # f finish · a accept · r reject · d review
dispatch stop                 # stop watching this project

Follow the complete quick start.

The guide covers watching, attach, Claude Code sessions, checks, accepting or rejecting Work, and letting Dispatch run the agent.
