0.2.0 initial public release
Dispatch turns a folder of markdown notes into a live project board — and every
card on it into a launcher for a coding agent.
Highlights
Todos tab — every open action item, in one place. Unchecked - [ ] lines
from allowlisted sections across your meeting notes and tickets, in two columns:
Assigned (anything with a named owner) and Team for shared work nobody
owns yet. Slice the assigned column to one person; the Team column always stays
visible. Clicking an item deep-links into the note at that exact line — ticking
happens in the document, where the context lives.
Meetings: your calendar in the board. Point Dispatch at a Google Calendar
secret ICS address and upcoming events render as meeting cards above the past
ones, with recurrence expanded and an optional title filter. An event whose date
already has a note links to it ("agenda ✓"); the rest say "no agenda yet".
Calendar cards get their own chips with {{date}} and {{title}}, so
"prepare the agenda" is a right-click.
Release Plan (renamed from Milestones). A + on a version line expands it
into one column per patch release — 1.4 becomes 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 —
each with its own progress bar, drop target and release note; − collapses it
again. The slice bar now also slices by status, ordered by your pipeline
rather than alphabetically, which answers "what in this release is still in
refinement?"
Batch chips on column headers. Click a Kanban column header to run one agent
session through every ticket in it, with {{ids}}, {{status}} and {{count}}
available to the prompt.
A setup skill that does the work. /plugin install dispatch-setup in Claude
Code now installs the plugin from GitHub releases, scans an existing vault to
pre-fill the interview instead of asking cold questions, scaffolds an
agent-friendly wiki when there isn't one, and proposes the workflow skills for
your code repo.
Fixes
- Meetings: today's meeting no longer appears twice (calendar card and note row).
- Meetings: an upcoming card links to the note whose title matches, not the
first note sharing that date. - Todos: a bold section header always resets owner attribution, so
**Team**
items stop inheriting the person named above them. - Todos: only names on your configured assignee list count as owners — a bold
prefix like**US00055:**or**Friday:**stays item text. - Calendar chips appear on right-click only, instead of cluttering every card.
Documentation
The README is now a front page; the reference lives in docs/ across five
pages: the four boards, the wiki structure the plugin was built against
(including the immutable sources layer), the frontmatter contract per page type,
a workflow-skill catalog, and installation — plus the on-disk shapes of
data.json and the device config, for when an agent writes them directly.
