Dispatch peer coding agents through Herdr using assign, handoff, and send_message. Use when inside a Herdr pane and the user wants Claude, Codex, Pi, omp, Grok Build, Cursor, or another CLI worker spawned, tasked, collected, or followed up. Triggers include herd-dispatch, assign a worker, handoff to Codex, send_message to a pane, fan-out agents, peer review across CLIs, grok-build worker, cursor-agent model.

# Herdr Dispatch

Captain protocol for running other coding CLIs as workers inside Herdr. Call the bundled script. Do not improvise raw `herdr agent start` / `wait` / `prompt` sequences.

## Preconditions

1. Run `scripts/herd-dispatch doctor` first. It must report `"ok": true`, `"herdr": true`, and `self.pane_id`.
2. If doctor prints `"ok": false` for any reason (including `HERDR_ENV!=1`, missing verbs, or unresolved captain pane), stop. Show the JSON to the human. Do not debug by running raw `herdr agent` commands.
3. Never target the captain pane. The script refuses self-operations; do not bypass it.
4. Never run bare `herdr` (that attaches the TUI and hangs). Do not run bare `herdr agent` either; kinds come from doctor JSON or `herdr agent start --help`.
5. Workers must not dispatch further workers. Only the captain uses this skill.
