Classify work before choosing subagents or a large implementation pass. Prefer this skill over a dedicated triage subagent.
planner or multiple specialistsinventory vs main Agent is enough| Tier | Description | Path |
|---|---|---|
| Trivial | One lookup or trivial edit | Answer in-chat |
| Simple | Few files, one approach | Main Agent |
| Compound | Multiple files or approaches | planner then implement |
| Complex | Migration, subsystem, unclear reqs | planner + specialists |
| Blocked | Missing info or unconfirmed destructive work | Stop; list blockers |
Tier: <tier>
Scope: <one line>
Approach: <path>
Blockers: <none | details>
Do not over-classify: three related files with one pattern is Simple, not Complex.

Use when: running pre-commit or pre-push CI-equivalent checks in any workspace — discovers workflow commands with Cursor tools, filters for local executability, scopes to staged changes, and runs checks cheapest-first.
Use when the user wants to install or customize cursorAssistant in the current project (GitHub install or configure).

Use when: discovering package manifests, assessing dependency health, finding replacements, or confirming import usage before removal — discovery only; mutating installs are handled by the deps agent.
