SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This meta-skill helps you quickly determine which workflow skill to apply for a given engineering task, providing an overview of the skill lineup and reducing decision fatigue.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routing guidance: map tasks to the most relevant concrete skill (e.g., idea-refine, spec-driven-development, planning-and-task-breakdown, etc.).
  • On-demand loading: load specific skills when needed to keep workflows lean.
  • Consistent decision framework: keep a structured approach to selecting the appropriate skill for the task.

Quick Start

Type /agent-skills:using-agent-skills to load the routing guide and see which skill best fits your task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I route engineering tasks to the right workflow skill?▼

Task routing works by evaluating ambiguous requests or well-defined tasks and mapping them to the best matching skill. It acts as a meta-skill that shows available skills and provides invocation guidance to reduce decision fatigue.

What is the best way to select an agent skill for an ambiguous engineering request?▼

Selecting an agent skill for an ambiguous request requires a consistent decision framework. This meta-skill evaluates the request and maps it to the most relevant concrete skill, such as idea-refine or spec-driven-development, ensuring proper task routing.

How do I load specific workflow skills on demand?▼

On-demand loading of specific workflow skills is triggered through the /agent-skills:using-agent-skills invocation. This meta-skill displays available skills and provides explicit invocation guidance to load only what is needed, keeping workflows lean.

When should I use a meta-skill for task routing instead of invoking a specific workflow directly?▼

You should use a meta-skill for task routing when you are unsure which workflow skill fits your engineering process. It reduces decision fatigue by providing a structured approach to skill selection across ambiguous requests or well-defined tasks.
