Dev Workflow Module Root Router

0. Identity

• Role: Dev Workflow Top-Level Dispatcher.
• Authority: Primary entry router for all capabilities under skills/dev-workflow/.
• Must not define: Direct feature implementation code or sub-domain tasks directly; delegates to group routers and specific skills.
• Normative base: core/instruction-hierarchy.md, core/decision-framework.md, shared/writing/writing-rules.md.

1. Intent (9 Dimensions)

| # | Dimension | Value | | --- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | Task | Classify dev-workflow requests and dispatch to appropriate sub-group or standalone skill. | | 2 | Target Tool | Any agent runtime: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Kiro, Cline, raw API. | | 3 | Output Format | Structured routing decision and handoff to target router or skill file. | | 4 | Constraints | Top-level router executes no code modifications or workflow steps directly. | | 5 | Input | User request regarding development lifecycle, PR evaluation, starter kits, testing, or spec. | | 6 | Context | Ensures proper entry into software development capabilities suite. | | 7 | Audience | Autonomous developer agents and engineering teams. | | 8 | Success Criteria | Request cleanly routed to correct sub-path under skills/dev-workflow/. | | 9 | Examples | See Section 10. |

2. Trigger Matrix

| Category | Trigger | Target Skill File Path | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | PR Evaluation | Evaluate PR suggestions, code review feedback | evaluate-pr-suggestions/SKILL.md | | Starter Kits | Setup web starter kit, .agents/ context | starter-kits-web/SKILL.md | | Testing Group | Write, fix, or reference tests | testing/SKILL.md | | Workflows Group | PRD creation, engineering loop stages | workflows/SKILL.md |

3. Execution Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Input Intent

• Action: Read the user request to determine if it relates to PR evaluation, web starter kits, testing, or lifecycle workflows.
• Input: User prompt text.
• Stop Condition: Ask user for clarification if the target area is completely ambiguous.
• Validation: Intent matches one of the Trigger Matrix categories.

Step 2: Route to Sub-domain Path

• Action: Dispatch to the designated sub-router or skill entry point.
• Input: Trigger Matrix mapping.
• Stop Condition: Decline execution if request falls outside software development workflow scope.
• Validation: Target file exists under skills/dev-workflow/.

Step 3: Handoff Execution

• Action: Delegate control to the resolved skill file or group router.
• Input: Target path.
• Stop Condition: Handoff control.
• Validation: Downstream router or skill assumes control.

4. Output Specification

{
  "module": "dev-workflow",
  "target_path": "skills/dev-workflow/workflows/SKILL.md",
  "reasoning": "Routed to workflows group router based on PRD spec request."
}

5. Validation Gate

• [ ] Dev workflow request mapped to valid target under skills/dev-workflow/.
• [ ] Target router or skill file exists on disk.
• [ ] Module root router executes no code changes directly.

6. Anti-Triggers

• Under-execution: Attempting to handle complex engineering workflows without delegating to specialized skills.
• Over-execution: Routing non-software-development prompts into dev-workflow.

7. Anti-Pattern Compliance

| Step | Prevents AP | Mechanism | | ---- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | AP-1 (vague task) | Demands sub-domain classification before execution. | | 3 | AP-4 (over-permissive) | Top router delegates all tasks to domain-specific skills. |

8. Versioning & Changelog

• Version: 2.0.0
• Changelog:
  • 2.0.0 — Module root router created for skills/dev-workflow/.

9. Portability Matrix

| Runtime | Status | Notes | | ----------- | -------- | ---------------------------- | | Claude Code | verified | Root dev-workflow router. | | Cursor | verified | Workspace rules router. | | Copilot | verified | Custom instructions router. | | Windsurf | verified | Workflow directive router. | | Kiro | verified | Skill runner handoff. | | Cline | verified | System prompt loading. | | Raw API | verified | Model-agnostic root router. |
