About dispatcher
dispatcher is a skill for AEM Cloud Service Dispatcher work, routing requests to guidance for configuration, technical questions, incidents, performance, and security. Its specialists share a seven-tool MCP contract for validation, tracing, inspection, metrics, and logs.
Key features
- 01Intent-based specialist routing
- 02Dispatcher configuration authoring
- 03Runtime incident response
- 04Cache and throughput tuning
- 05Security audits and hardening
- 06Shared seven-tool MCP contract
Use cases
- 01Editing or validating Dispatcher config files
- 02Investigating cache anomalies or probe regressions
- 03Improving cache efficiency and throughput
- 04Auditing exposure and security headers
MCP support
The skill specifies a shared core-7 MCP tool set for all specialists: validation, linting, SDK checks, request tracing, cache inspection, metrics monitoring, and log tailing.

From the project READMEAEM Cloud Service Dispatcher
Route user requests to the appropriate specialist skill based on intent.
Intent Router
| User Intent | Skill | Path |
|---|---|---|
Create, modify, review, or harden dispatcher config files (.any, vhost, rewrite, cache, filter) | Config Authoring | config-authoring/SKILL.md |
Conceptual questions (statfileslevel, filter rules, URL decomposition, cache invalidation, rewrite behavior, security headers) | Technical Advisory | technical-advisory/SKILL.md |
| Investigate runtime incidents, failures, probe regressions, or cache anomalies | Incident Response | incident-response/SKILL.md |
| Optimize cache efficiency, latency, and throughput | Performance Tuning | performance-tuning/SKILL.md |
| Security audit, threat model, exposure control, header hardening | Security Hardening | security-hardening/SKILL.md |
| End-to-end lifecycle (design → implement → validate → release → incident) or requests spanning multiple concerns | Workflow Orchestrator | workflow-orchestrator/SKILL.md |
How to Use
- Match the user's request to one row in the Intent Router table above.
- Read the linked SKILL.md for that specialist skill.
- Follow the workflow, references, and output contract defined in that skill.
- For broad or ambiguous requests that span multiple concerns, use the Workflow Orchestrator which coordinates across all specialist skills.
