PM Release Conductor (Dispatch Skill)

Cross-client dispatch wrapper for the pm-release-conductor sub-agent. Detects runtime; dispatches to the native sub-agent on Claude Code; reads agents/pm-release-conductor.md and inlines chain composition on non-Claude clients via "reference + execute inline" pattern.

Status summary (v2.16.0): PRODUCTION on Claude Code (native sub-agent path). DRY-RUN VALIDATED on Codex CLI 2026-05-17 per gate-test-results_2026-05-17_codex.md; LIVE release on Codex CLI is NOT independently exercised, so use with caution and run --dry-run first as a rehearsal. EXPERIMENTAL on Cursor / Windsurf / Copilot CLI / Gemini CLI (UNTESTED at v2.16.0 ship).

See Sub-Agent Compatibility Matrix for the canonical safe-usage matrix + what-was-validated detail + v2.17 expansion plan. For live release on a non-Claude client, ideally re-run the harness at maintainer-gate-testing-codex.md on that specific client first.

When to Use

• You are running a pm-skills release on a non-Claude client (Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI)
• You want the same 6-gate discipline that pm-release-conductor enforces on Claude Code, with auditor + curator behaviors inlined at the relevant gates
• You explicitly want skill-invocation semantics over sub-agent semantics on Claude Code (rare; the native sub-agent is preferred on Claude Code)
