Dispatch Starter

Pairs your phone with Cowork so you can send tasks to your desktop from anywhere — in a meeting, commuting, at lunch — and get the finished result back on your phone. (Requires the Cowork Max plan.)

Both — Cowork + Code
How to use it
It confirms you’re on Max and have the official Claude mobile app, walks you through QR-code pairing, then helps you send a safe first task and explains what’s happening (your desktop does the real work using your files and connected tools). Best practice: your desktop must be on with Cowork open for dispatched tasks to run.
How to invoke / keep it on
Say “dispatch”, “control Cowork from my phone”, or “can I use Cowork while I’m away?”; or type /dispatch-starter.
20 powerful examples for Melinda Maria
Copy, tweak, make them yours. Just describe the task — Claude loads the skill automatically.
01"Set up Dispatch and let me test it from my phone during a wholesale market — something like ‘pull this buyer’s recent orders from NuORDER and draft a follow-up’ while I’m on the floor."
02"Pair my phone so that from the warehouse I can text Cowork ‘check ShipHero stock on our best-selling huggies and flag anything under 50 units’ and get the answer back."
03"I’m often out for meetings — set up Dispatch and help me send ‘summarize today’s urgent Gorgias tickets and draft replies’ from my phone so it’s done when I’m back."
04"Walk me through pairing, then test it with a zero-risk task — have Cowork create a dispatch-test file on my desktop — before I rely on it to pull real Shopify numbers from my phone."
05"Set up Dispatch so during my commute I can fire off ‘pull yesterday’s Shopify sales and break them down by collection’ and have the report waiting when I get to the office."
06"Pair my phone so from a leadership lunch I can send ‘summarize this week’s Klaviyo campaign performance into three bullet points’ and get a clean answer back on my phone."
07"Confirm I’m on Max, pair my phone, and let me test sending ‘check ShipHero for any orders stuck in fulfillment over 48 hours’ from the warehouse floor."
08"I’m on the road for wholesale market all week — set up Dispatch so I can text ‘draft a follow-up to [buyer] using their recent NuORDER orders’ between meetings."
09"Walk me through pairing, then have me dispatch ‘pull our top 5 creators this week from ShopMy and LoudCrowd’ from my phone so the recap’s ready when I’m back at my desk."
10"Set up Dispatch and explain clearly that my desktop has to be on with Cowork open — then test a safe task that just reads my Google Calendar for tomorrow."
11"Pair my phone so from anywhere I can send ‘triage today’s urgent Gorgias tickets and draft replies’ and review the drafts on my phone before anyone sends them."
12"I’m often pulled into meetings — set up Dispatch so I can fire ‘summarize my unread Gmail and flag anything from a wholesale buyer’ and catch up from my phone."
13"Confirm my setup and pair, then let me test ‘check Meta Ads spend vs. yesterday and flag anything way off’ from my phone so I can monitor campaigns without my laptop."
14"Set up Dispatch for our ops lead who’s constantly on the warehouse floor — test ‘flag any best-selling huggies under 50 units in ShipHero’ from their phone."
15"Pair my phone and help me send a zero-risk first task — ‘create a note in my desktop folder with today’s date’ — so I can see Dispatch work before I trust it with real QuickBooks data."
16"I travel for press events — set up Dispatch so I can text ‘draft a thank-you note to [creator] in MM voice’ using their ShopMy profile and get it back to review on my phone."
17"Walk me through pairing, then test ‘pull this month’s wholesale order total from NuORDER’ from my phone, and explain that the real work happens on my desktop using my connected tools."
18"Set up Dispatch and show me how to send a longer task — ‘build a quick competitor price check on three brands and save it’ — from my phone so it’s done by the time I’m back."
19"Pair my phone and help me build a small ‘from anywhere’ routine — three safe read-only tasks I can fire off when I’m away (sales snapshot, urgent tickets, today’s calendar) — so I can stay on top of MM without my laptop."
20"Set up Dispatch so during a buyer dinner I can quietly send ‘pull this account’s open balance and recent orders from NuORDER’ and have the answer on my phone before dessert."
