atelier-dispatch — write JSONL, dispatch, verify (the lean architecture)
This is atelier rebuilt on the speed-run / local_code_gen substrate: the LLM
writes a spec; a deterministic script runs the per-sprint model calls. It exists
because the subagent version is dominated by orchestrator cost — each subagent
carries 40k of harness context and its report lands back in the orchestrator's
context, which then gets re-read every turn (measured: 1.2M cache-read, $1.86 on a
3-sprint task). This architecture avoids both: bare calls ($0.02–0.05 each) and
outputs go to disk, not into your context.
Why it's cheap (the two fixes)
- Bare calls. Each sprint runs
claude -p "<prompt>" --model {haiku|sonnet} --bare—--barestrips hooks/plugins/system-prompt, so a Haiku sprint call is ~$0.002–0.05 instead of ~$0.05 + 40k harness. Uses your subscription OAuth — no API key. - You never ingest outputs. The script writes files to disk and returns a
manifest.json. You read the manifest (tiny), not the generated code. No context compounding, no re-read tax.
