Intelligent Routing

This skill ensures consistent organization, making everything discoverable and maintainable.

Use the Type Routing Table from SEMANTIC-INDEX.md, apply Specific Rules from PLACEMENT-RULES.md, and validate against Core Principles.

<anti_patterns> Don't guess type - use identification questions Don't skip validation - always check principles Don't ignore conflicts - resolve them explicitly Don't forget related items - tests, docs, examples Don't place randomly - use framework </anti_patterns>

<output_format> For placement:

• Placement recommendation (where to put new thing)
• Rationale explanation (why this location)
• Related references (what else is related)

For discovery:

• Discovery result (where to find existing thing)
• Search process (how you found it)
• Related items (what else is related) </output_format>

<integration_notes> This skill integrates with:

• docs-routing - For routing documentation
• deep-research - For researching before placement
• first-principles-thinking - For analyzing placement decisions

Usage phrases:

• "Use intelligent-routing to determine where to place this new agent"
• "Use intelligent-routing to find all libraries related to Phase 2"
• "Apply intelligent-routing to determine where this documentation should go" </integration_notes>
