1. Identify idle panes from context above

2. Get target pane and task from user (if not provided)

3. Validate idle + unreserved

Check .reserved file and ❯ prompt via capture-pane -S -5.

4. Rename + dispatch

bash
1tmux select-pane -t "$TARGET_PANE" -T "<short-task-label>_$(date +%m%d)"
2TASKFILE=$(mktemp "${RUNTIME_DIR}/task_XXXXXX.txt")
3cat > "$TASKFILE" << 'TASK'
4<task prompt here>
5TASK
6tmux copy-mode -q -t "$TARGET_PANE" 2>/dev/null
7tmux load-buffer "$TASKFILE" && tmux paste-buffer -t "$TARGET_PANE"
8TASK_LINES=$(wc -l < "$TASKFILE" | tr -d ' ')
9if [ "$TASK_LINES" -gt 200 ]; then sleep 2; elif [ "$TASK_LINES" -gt 100 ]; then sleep 1.5; else sleep 0.5; fi
10tmux send-keys -t "$TARGET_PANE" Enter && rm "$TASKFILE"

5. Verify

sleep 5, grep for Read|Edit|Bash|thinking. If idle: Enter, 3s, re-check → unstick per /doey-dispatch.

Rules

• Always tmpfile/load-buffer — never send-keys for task text
• Never delegate to own pane; never kill/restart the worker
