+# agent-dispatch
+
+A Claude Code skill for selecting the right model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) when launching subagents.
+
+## What it does
+
+Before launching ANY Agent tool call, this skill evaluates the task complexity and selects the most cost-effective model:
+
+- **Opus** — Architecture decisions, domain expertise, code audits, trade-off analysis
+- **Sonnet** — Pattern-following code, known bug fixes, testing, UI work, file operations  
+- **Haiku** — Quick searches, counting, simple data extraction, status checks
+
+## Why not just use Opus for everything?
+
+Sonnet handles **70% of subagent tasks equally well** at lower cost and higher speed. This skill prevents the common pattern of defaulting to the most expensive model "just to be safe."
+
+## How it complements Superpowers
+
+The [superpowers](https://github.com/obra/superpowers) plugin includes a generic model selection guide ("cheap/standard/most capable"). This skill extends it with:
+
+- **Concrete Opus/Sonnet/Haiku mapping** for Claude Code's Agent tool
+- **Decision matrix** with specific task categories
+- **Real-world examples** from production development
+- **Split-task pattern** — e.g., Opus for research, Sonnet for implementation
+
+## Installation
+
+### As a Claude Code skill (recommended)
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .claude/skills/agent-dispatch
+cp SKILL.md .claude/skills/agent-dispatch/
+```
+
+### In CLAUDE.md
+
+Alternatively, paste the content of `SKILL.md` into your project's `CLAUDE.md`.
+
+## Usage
+
+The skill is **not user-invocable** — it activates automatically when the agent-dispatch pattern is referenced. It guides Claude Code to select the right `model:` parameter before every `Agent` tool call.
