Task Intelligence (Compatibility Shim)

Overview

This skill name is kept only for backward compatibility. It no longer behaves like a broad multi-agent amplification or orchestration layer.

Current behavior: act as the thin Phase PLAN router used by task-router-lite.

Compatibility rules

• Treat task-router-lite as the canonical PLAN behavior.
• Keep older references to task-intelligence working without changing the runtime contract abruptly.
• Select at most:
  • 0-1 primary execution skill
  • 0-1 optional secondary skill
• Prefer installed local skills first.
• Never call missing orchestration scripts.
• Never expand this skill back into a fan-out orchestrator.

Thin routing behavior

Choose the primary skill

Situation	Primary skill
Bug, failing test, unexpected behavior	systematic-debugging
Multi-step or high-context task	planning-with-files
Medium planning task	concise-planning
Validation after code changes	lint-and-validate
Completion / fixed / passed claim	verification-before-completion
Underspecified feature	brainstorming if installed; otherwise concise-planning or planning-with-files
Library / framework / API lookup	documentation-lookup if installed; otherwise local docs / repo evidence / Context7
Before coding, dependency, or utility choice	search-first if installed; otherwise targeted repository search
Unfamiliar repo onboarding	codebase-onboarding if installed; otherwise targeted repository discovery
Significant architecture decision or trade-off	architecture-decision-records if installed; otherwise ADR-style structured notes
Git branching / commit / PR / merge / release discipline	git-workflow if installed; otherwise repo git conventions
Critical user journey or browser-flow verification	e2e-testing if installed; otherwise existing test tools
Auth / secrets / sensitive endpoints / risky data handling	security-review if installed; otherwise direct security checklist

Optional secondary skill

Use a secondary skill only when it clearly adds value and keep it to one:

• verification-before-completion for completion gates
• lint-and-validate after code changes
• planning-with-files for persistent state on long tasks

Output contract

Before implementation, produce the workspace readiness table:

Context Element	Details
Active repo	[path]
Related repos	[paths]
Context readiness	Ready / Incomplete
Execution intent	[brief description]
Difficulty level	easy, medium, or hard
Subagent decision	Spawning Subagent / Direct Execution
Phase BUILD Skills	[selected skills]

Explicitly removed from legacy behavior

• No blanket activation of many agents.
• No references to missing agent-orchestrator scripts.
• No mandatory time-estimation theater.
• No speculative fan-out before understanding the actual task.

Maintainer note

When all workspace references have migrated, task-intelligence should remain only as a compatibility alias or be retired cleanly.
