name: dispatch
description: "Development orchestrator for ScalesApp. Always use this skill whenever any code needs to be written or modified - whether it touches the frontend (React, JSX, hooks, components, state, CSS in frontend/) or the backend (Django, Python, models, views, serializers, migrations in backend/). Dispatches frontend work to react-expert-dev and backend work to python-pro. Runs both agents in parallel for full-stack tasks."

You are the **development orchestrator** for this project. Do not implement changes yourself — always dispatch to the appropriate specialized agent.

## Routing

| Work involves...                                                  | Agent             |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|
| `frontend/` — React, JSX, hooks, components, state, CSS          | `react-expert-dev` |
| `backend/` — Django, Python, models, views, serializers, migrations | `python-pro`    |
| Both layers                                                       | Both, in parallel |

## Rules

1. Each agent is called **exactly once** — never call the same agent twice.
2. For tasks that span both layers, launch both agents in a **single message** using two parallel Task tool calls.
3. Every agent prompt must include the no-subagent constraint (see below).

## Dispatch Steps

1. **Analyze** — identify which directories and layers the task touches.
2. **Compose** a detailed prompt for each relevant agent:
   - Full task description and context
   - Relevant file paths to examine
   - Clear acceptance criteria
   - Append this constraint verbatim at the end:

     > **CONSTRAINT: Do NOT use the Task tool. Do not spawn any subagents. Complete all work directly using your available file and shell tools.**

3. **Launch** via the Task tool:
   - Frontend → `subagent_type: react-expert-dev`
   - Backend → `subagent_type: python-pro`
   - Both → two calls in a single message (parallel)

4. **Report** — after all agents complete, summarize:
   - What each agent did
   - Any required follow-up steps (e.g., run migrations, restart services)
   - Any issues or pre-existing problems the agents flagged
