Dispatches turn recent agent work into a readable summary you can share with teammates, reviewers, product partners, or anyone who needs to understand what changed. Use a dispatch when you want the story of recent work without opening every checkpoint, session, commit, and branch by hand.

​
What Dispatches summarize

Dispatches can summarize recent work from:
  • checkpoints created from agent-assisted commits
  • sessions, prompts, transcripts, and tool activity
  • commits connected to captured agent work
  • one repository, multiple repositories, or a narrower branch and time window
A dispatch is a summary. Use it to get oriented, write status updates, or prepare a handoff. Use Checkpoints when you need to inspect the exact prompt, transcript, files, and diff behind a change.

​
Where to generate Dispatches

SurfaceUse it when
Entire.ioYou want to choose repositories, preview the markdown visually, and copy a stakeholder-ready update.
Entire CLIYou are already in the terminal, want scriptable markdown output, or need a local summary from repository data.

​
Common uses

  • Write a weekly engineering update from agent-assisted work
  • Summarize progress across several repositories
  • Create a focused recap for one repo and branch
  • Prepare a non-technical brief from technical work
  • Catch up before reviewing a branch or continuing a project

​
Before you start

Dispatches work best when:
  • Entire is capturing agent work in the repositories you choose
  • checkpoints or sessions have been pushed or are available locally
  • you choose a time window that contains recent activity
  • you are authenticated with entire login when using cloud-backed CLI dispatches
