Agent Dispatch overview
Agent Dispatch as a cross-cutting topic - the mechanisms by which an orchestrating agent delegates work to sub-agents, tools, skills, and external systems. Covers task decomposition strategies, effect-based dispatch (agent/skill/shell/breakpoint task kinds), fan-out parallelism, result collection and aggregation, and error propagation across agent boundaries. Central to multi-agent orchestration frameworks such as Babysitter and LangGraph.
