name	jetengine-router
description	Use first when a task touches JetEngine, JetFormBuilder, or JetSmartFilters and it's unclear which domain skill applies — e.g. "why is this field empty", "how do I hook into form submission", "how do I query this filter". Classifies the task and points to the right skill instead of guessing.

JetEngine/JetFormBuilder/JetSmartFilters Router

Route the task to the right skill before writing any PHP. This repo is split by capability, not just by plugin name, because a single task (e.g. "a form submission should create a related CCT record") often spans more than one plugin.

Decision tree

• Reading/writing Custom Content Type (CCT) data directly from the DB → jetengine-cct-internals
• Resolving parent/child links between CCTs (or CCTs and CPTs) → jetengine-relations
• Hooking into JetFormBuilder form submission, validation, or lifecycle actions (jet-form-builder/form-handler/before-send, custom actions, macros in a form) → jetformbuilder-hooks
• Building a custom JetFormBuilder action/handler (a PHP class that runs on submit) → jetformbuilder-actions
• Building/debugging JetSmartFilters queries (filter → query args, AJAX filtering, custom filter types) → jetsmartfilters-query
• Listing grid / listing item dynamic field macros (%macro% resolution, custom macros) → jetengine-listings-macros
• Deciding whether to call a JetEngine MCP tool (tool-add-cct, tool-add-cpt, tool-add-taxonomy, tool-add-meta-box, tool-add-query, tool-add-listing, tool-add-glossary, tool-manage-modules) vs. writing raw PHP, or debugging why a tool-created entity doesn't look as expected → jetengine-mcp-tools
• Fetching/running a configured Query Builder query, or registering a custom query type (SQL/Posts/Terms/Users/Comments/Repeater queries) → jetengine-query-builder
• Meta Boxes (custom fields on a post/term/user/options page — not CCT), Options Pages, Data Stores (favorites/recently-viewed), Dynamic Visibility (conditional display), Glossaries, or Custom Meta Tables (custom-table post meta storage) → jetengine-modules
• Reading/writing a JetFormBuilder submitted field value generically (incl. nested repeater fields by dotted path), registering a custom field block type, adding validation, wiring a preset/dynamic default, or reading previously-submitted form entries from storage → jetformbuilder-fields
• None of the above / genuinely new territory → mine the plugin source first (see docs/authoring-guide.md), then decide whether it fits an existing skill or needs a new one.

Inputs to gather before routing

• Which plugin(s) are involved (JetEngine core, JetFormBuilder, JetSmartFilters, JetThemeCore, etc.) — check wp-content/plugins/ for exact plugin slugs/versions.
• Whether this is CCT-based, CPT-based, or a mix.
• Whether the fix needs to run in a hook/filter vs. a one-off script/REST endpoint.

Escalation

If the task doesn't fit any existing skill, treat it as a candidate for a new skill — follow docs/authoring-guide.md rather than improvising ungrounded advice.
