| name | kernel-workflow-router |
| description | Use for Linux kernel development workflows that may involve multiple related skills, especially when the user mentions QEMU or guest VMs, top-down analysis, tracepoints, large log search with rg, git bisect, long-running experiment capture, or handoff-style reports. Read this router first, then choose the relevant sub-router or workflow. |
Kernel Workflow Router
Use this skill as the first routing layer for the user's common kernel workflow stack.
Routing Rule
If the task matches one of the categories below, read the listed sub-router or workflow next before doing detailed work.
Skill Map
1. VM / guest / QEMU workflow
Use kernel-vm-router next when the user asks to:
- start or reuse a QEMU VM
- run commands in a guest
- use QGA or guest SSH
- reproduce a bug inside a VM
- run xfstests or fsstress in a guest

2. Analysis / trace / large logs
Use kernel-analysis-router next when the user asks to:
- do top-down analysis
- classify runtime paths or dominant callers
- add or fix kernel tracepoints
- analyze traces or capture call stacks
- search large logs with
rg
- run or interpret
git bisect

3. Reports / handoff documents
Go directly to the reporting skills when the user asks to:
- write an experiment report
- prepare a handoff document
- turn technical results into recipient-facing output
Primary downstream skills:
handoff-doc-styleexperiment-report-writer
Selection Notes
- Prefer the VM route for anything that starts with runtime bring-up, guest access, or reproduction in QEMU.
- Prefer the analysis route for anything that starts with classification, instrumentation, trace capture, or large-log inspection.
- If the task spans VM bring-up and analysis, read
kernel-vm-router first, then switch to kernel-analysis-router once the guest runtime is ready.
- If the task ends in a recipient-facing summary or report, apply
handoff-doc-style before drafting final output.
