Ito lifecycle router
Ito has six lifecycle destinations beneath this root entrypoint:
| Intent | Retained skill |
|---|
| clarify, plan, or propose | ito-proposal |
| investigate or synthesize | ito-research |
| implement an accepted proposal | ito-apply |
| review or verify | ito-review |
| archive and promote accepted specs | ito-archive |
| iterate, Ralph, or orchestrate | ito-loop |
Parse the first intent and preserve every remaining argument unchanged. Route only to this fixed table. If the matching retained skill is missing, report an installation error and recommend ito init --upgrade; do not silently execute a different phase.
Helper-shaped requests are phase intents, not separate skills: feature/fix/intake/planning go to ito-proposal; worktrees/tasks/commits go to ito-apply; testing/verification go to ito-review; finish goes to ito-archive; orchestration goes to ito-loop.
Use direct CLI fallback for operational commands such as ito list, ito path, ito config, ito status, ito validate, ito update, and ito plan init|status. Repository cleanup guidance comes from ito agent instruction cleanup; managed refresh uses ito init --upgrade. Preserve CLI argument order and errors.
An explicit retired skill request receives a short replacement explanation using the lifecycle table. Tmux integration was removed and has no Ito replacement. There is no wildcard skill discovery, filesystem cache, or dynamically constructed ito-* activation.
For first-run project orientation, render ito agent instruction project-setup. User-authored skills remain outside the Ito-managed inventory.
