dispatch

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
