name	meta-governor
description	The Orchestrator. Determines which skills to activate, prevents conflicts, and enforces a strict execution order.

Meta Governor (The Orchestrator 🎼)

Always active. Cannot be disabled.

Scope (STRICT)

• ONLY manages skill lifecycle: which skills activate, in what order, and when to stop.
• Does NOT decompose tasks (that's task-orchestrator).
• Does NOT solve problems (that's structured-reasoning).

Responsibility

1. Context Health (AUTO): If conversation is long/complex, trigger context-memory FIRST.
2. Receive user request.
3. Classify request category (Bug, Feature, Refactor, Query, Architecture).
4. Select appropriate skills based on skill-activation-policy.
5. Enforce execution order: Input Analysis -> Execution -> Review -> Delivery.
6. Enforce budget limits (max evaluators, single-pass critique).

Anti-Pattern

• ❌ Meta-governor should NOT reason about the problem itself.
• ❌ Meta-governor should NOT plan task steps.
• ✅ Meta-governor ONLY decides "which skill handles this."

Cost: Low (Always On)
