# Ticket Dispatcher

> Use the Ticket Dispatcher Expert to scan tickets on a schedule and launch implementation workers for work that is ready to implement.

## Ticket Dispatcher

Ticket Dispatcher continuously scans a backlog and hands ready work to [PR Author](/cosmos/experts-pr-author). Some templates call this Expert **Backlog Dispatcher**; both names refer to the same pattern.

The Expert runs on a schedule, scans configured ticket sources, applies a readiness rubric, and dispatches PR Author for tickets that are safe to attempt. It respects a maximum number of dispatcher-owned open changes so automation does not flood the review queue.

* **Best for**: Teams with a steady backlog of small-to-medium implementation tickets that often become agent-ready after triage.
* **How to use**: Configure the ticket sources, schedule, PR Author worker ID, and backpressure limits. The dispatcher scans on each scheduled run, dispatches ready work, and records concise skip reasons for tickets that need more human input.
