Hierarchy in Disp8ch: run agents like an accountable organization

Hierarchy gives agent work company-style structure: organizations, roles, goals, reporting lines, source packs, budgets, approvals, heartbeats, and workload.

What it does

Turns the feature into usable workspace objects.

Disp8ch treats Hierarchy as part of the operating loop. The result is visible, editable, and connected to the other surfaces.

  • Creates organizations with roles, agents, reporting lines, budgets, goals, and governance rules.
  • Links goal source packs to Data Sources, Boards, Workflows, and Council.
  • Shows heartbeats, blocked work, cost signals, and goal ancestry in one operator view.
How it works

Context flows through the app instead of being trapped in chat.

The feature reads from the same workspace objects used by the rest of Disp8ch, then writes back through confirmation-gated actions when work changes state.

  • Goals hold ownership, source context, status, budgets, and follow-up links.
  • Agents can be assigned to roles and goals, then used by workflows, councils, and board tasks.
  • Long-running goal work records ledgers and verdicts so completion claims stay inspectable.
What makes it different

Built for operators who need auditability.

The feature is designed around explicit state, reviewable outputs, and practical handoffs to the next place work should go.

  • Hierarchy is built for multi-agent accountability, not only conversation memory.
  • It makes the work object visible before, during, and after the model turn.
  • You can start small with one agent and grow into a real org map when work becomes complex.
Works with

Hierarchy is strongest when it connects to the rest of the workspace.

A typical job starts with a user request, pulls in sources or app state, creates a plan, asks for confirmation when something changes, and leaves a trace in the right surface.

Agent Operations

Agents in Disp8ch have profiles, tools, model overrides, skills, extensions, budgets, channel routing, workspace files, and observable activity.

Disp8ch Council showing a structured multi-agent deliberation and verdict area
Decision system

Council

Council sessions let agents debate options, vote, and record a verdict with dissent preserved. It is built for decisions where the reasoning matters as much as the final answer.

Work tracking

Boards

Boards turn ideas, blockers, council verdicts, source findings, and workflow output into tracked work with owners, status, history, and recovery actions.
