Coding Router Skill 💻

This file exists for backward compatibility with single-entry skill setups (for example /coding). Canonical sibling skills live at:

• skills/plan-issue/SKILL.md
• skills/coding-agent/SKILL.md

Routing Rules

1. If user asks to plan/scope/estimate/design, follow plan-issue behavior.
2. For non-trivial implementation requests, produce a plan first and wait for exact APPROVE before any writes.
3. Only after APPROVE, follow coding-agent behavior with ACP-aware execution routing and CLI fallback.

Command Routing (Channel Aliases)

When invoked via channel aliases:

• /coding → use this compatibility skill as router.
• /plan → route directly to plan-issue behavior.
• /plan-review → route to plan review flow using scripts/plan-review.
• /plan-review-live → route to interactive plan review checkpoints using scripts/plan-review-live (Lobster in-repo workflow first, legacy fallback).
• /review_pr → route to review flow using references/reviews.md.

Runtime Status Contract

When wrappers are used for planning/review:

• Emit RUN_EVENT start at run start.
• If the run exceeds 30s, emit RUN_EVENT heartbeat every 20s.
• If interrupted or timed out, emit RUN_EVENT interrupted immediately with exit code.
• On non-interruption failure, emit RUN_EVENT failed.
• On success, emit RUN_EVENT done.

Known ACP Runtime Limitation

Issue #43 (upstream) may affect spawned ACP run observability and browser relay profile alias mapping. Use repo-side mitigations and bounded fallback guidance in:

• references/acp-troubleshooting.md

Non-Negotiable Gates

1. Never write files, install packages, commit, or open PRs before explicit APPROVE.
2. Never default to bypass flags (--yolo, --dangerously-skip-permissions).
3. Use bypass flags only when the user explicitly asks to bypass approvals.
