Hand off to a worker.
When Aura dispatches, the worker takes the task with your prompt and the current project context. Aura moves to awaiting while it runs, and the local activity trail records the handoff.
Dispatch is a deliberate act. Aura never sends work to a worker without your explicit approval — a confirmed yes, or an explicit instruction to proceed. Once dispatched, the worker runs in the background under the permission posture of the active project. Aura holds the call open and waits.
What triggers a dispatch.
Any voice turn that describes concrete work — a bug to fix, a file to refactor, a script to run — moves toward dispatch. Brainstorming and questions stay in the live context lane. If your phrasing is ambiguous, she asks a clarifying question before building the task envelope. Concrete bug reports are treated as work requests: if you say the chart is not updating or the build is broken, she dispatches to inspect, not to ask which file you mean.
The dispatch slip.
After approval, a dispatch entry appears in the activity log. Claude handoffs use the local task queue under .aura/pending and .aura/responses; Codex handoffs also keep coordinator-thread state for the project.

Aura returns to awaiting.
Once the dispatch is written, the bar moves to the awaiting state. The orb breathes slowly. Aura is still on the call and still listening — she can respond to status questions, interruptions, and new goals. You can mute her or switch windows while the worker continues.
Approval token
Every edit-capable dispatch requires a local approval token. Aura validates the model's dispatch request against that token before it writes the task into the local worker queue.
What the worker sees.
The worker receives the task prompt, the current project boundary, and speech-safe context. It does not receive raw voice audio, and it does not receive context from other projects. Secret-shaped values are filtered before Aura stores or repeats worker-facing text.
