director

Use a classification step that reads each message before acting on it. The Director classifies messages into seven acts and only creates work for genuine instructions, answering questions and recording observations without opening tasks.

Classify the request first, then name the dimensions the accepted work touches and map them to specialists. The Director outputs a route contract listing the smallest set of specialists, such as architect, spec author, or test author, for the pipeline to call.

A correction changes the goal or constraints of work already in flight and creates zero new work items, while an instruction asks for something new. The Director attaches corrections to the existing task instead of opening a duplicate row.

Yes. It reads the entire turn to the end and lists every act before deciding, so a message containing a musing, a correction, and an instruction produces exactly one new work item without losing any act.

It asks one short question only when guessing wrong would change the result, phrased in the person's own terms. It never creates work to be safe, since creating unrequested work is the expensive failure direction.
