This skill provides automatic orchestration for development and investigation tasks. It detects the task type from keywords and delegates to the appropriate workflow skill (investigation-workflow or default-workflow).
Auto-activation priority is LOW (5) to allow more specific skills to match first. When activated, this orchestrator selects between investigation-workflow and default-workflow based on the user's request keywords.
This skill acts as a thin wrapper around the canonical ultrathink command, following the amplihack pattern of single-source-of-truth for command logic.
This skill is a thin wrapper that references canonical sources:
.claude/commands/amplihack/ultrathink.md (278 lines).claude/workflow/DEFAULT_WORKFLOW.md.claude/workflow/INVESTIGATION_WORKFLOW.mdThe canonical command contains complete task detection logic, complexity estimation, and orchestration patterns for both investigation and development workflows.
When this skill is activated, you MUST:
Read the canonical command for task detection logic:
Read(file_path=".claude/commands/amplihack/ultrathink.md")
Note: Path is relative to project root. Claude Code resolves this automatically.
Detect task type using keywords from the canonical command:
Invoke appropriate workflow skill:
Skill(skill="investigation-workflow")Skill(skill="default-workflow")Fallback if skill not found:
.claude/workflow/INVESTIGATION_WORKFLOW.md.claude/workflow/DEFAULT_WORKFLOW.mdBenefits:
Trade-offs:
This pattern aligns with amplihack philosophy: ruthless simplicity through elimination of duplication.
