Engineer Router — Portable Fallback

This Skill provides Engineer routing when native AgentKit is unavailable.

It does not replace ANGENT Root or Reasoning.

Read references/routing-protocol.md for selection/delegation. For tasks described using AgentKit command vocabulary, read references/outcome-routing.md: identify the useful decision or work capability before choosing a Skill. Do not replicate the command tree or create wrapper programs.

Core rule

Use the smallest workflow that preserves quality.

Do not build a chain merely because several Skills exist.

Typical routes

• unclear ownership → Scout → Plan or Debug;
• bug → Scout if needed → Debug → Fix/Cook → Test → Code Review;
• feature → Research/Brainstorm if needed → Plan → Cook → Test → Code Review;
• PR → Review PR / Code Review;
• long continuation → Continuity/Handoff;
• independent parallel jobs → Orchestrate or Team only when parallelism/isolation is worth its coordination cost.

Using the selected Skill

A Skill communicates what the agent should notice, decide and verify; it is not a terminal command or a process. Read the smallest relevant Skill/reference, apply its working method to the actual project evidence and act using the tools the current harness genuinely exposes. A command name may signal an intent, but it does not prescribe the runtime, file layout or tool chain. When a task needs executable or durable effects, authorize and verify those effects separately. Do not claim a worker, event stream or adapter exists merely because a Skill describes the workflow.

Native boundary

If native AgentKit Engineer is actually usable in the active environment, prefer it instead of loading the fallback library.

Output

Return the selected route only when route visibility helps the user or downstream workflow. Do not add routing narration to trivial tasks.
