Use when running, configuring, or troubleshooting the autonomous-dev-team dispatcher cron. Triggers on phrases like "run the dispatcher", "scan for pending issues", "dispatch autonomous tasks", "set up the dispatch cron", "configure dispatcher.conf", "set up multi-project dispatcher", "dispatch to a remote dev box via SSM", "EXECUTION_BACKEND=remote-aws-ssm", "stale agent detection", or working on dispatcher-tick.sh / dispatcher-multi-tick.sh / dispatch-local.sh / dispatch-remote-aws-ssm.sh. Covers per-project tick (5 steps: concurrency, scan-new, scan-pending-review, scan-pending-dev, stale detection), the multi-project outer loop, and pluggable local-vs-remote-AWS-SSM execution backends.

From the source SKILL.md

Scan GitHub issues and dispatch dev/review tasks. One cron tick is one invocation of dispatcher-tick.sh (single-project) or dispatcher-multi-tick.sh (multi-project). The full state machine, per-step semantics, and invariants live at [docs/pipeline/ in the source repo](https://github.com/zxkane/autonomous-dev-team/tree/main/docs/pipeline) — that's the spec; this file is the agent's invocation contract.
