Coding Router Skill 💻
This file exists for backward compatibility with single-entry skill setups (for example /coding).
Canonical sibling skills live at:
skills/plan-issue/SKILL.mdskills/coding-agent/SKILL.md
Routing Rules
- If user asks to plan/scope/estimate/design, follow
plan-issue behavior.
- For non-trivial implementation requests, produce a plan first and wait for exact
APPROVE before any writes.
- Only after
APPROVE, follow coding-agent behavior with ACP-aware execution routing and CLI fallback.
Command Routing (Channel Aliases)
When invoked via channel aliases:
/coding → use this compatibility skill as router./plan → route directly to plan-issue behavior./plan-review → route to plan review flow using scripts/plan-review./plan-review-live → route to interactive plan review checkpoints using scripts/plan-review-live (Lobster in-repo workflow first, legacy fallback)./review_pr → route to review flow using references/reviews.md.
Runtime Status Contract
When wrappers are used for planning/review:
- Emit
RUN_EVENT start at run start.
- If the run exceeds 30s, emit
RUN_EVENT heartbeat every 20s.
- If interrupted or timed out, emit
RUN_EVENT interrupted immediately with exit code.
- On non-interruption failure, emit
RUN_EVENT failed.
- On success, emit
RUN_EVENT done.
Known ACP Runtime Limitation
Issue #43 (upstream) may affect spawned ACP run observability and browser relay
profile alias mapping. Use repo-side mitigations and bounded fallback guidance in:
references/acp-troubleshooting.md
Non-Negotiable Gates
- Never write files, install packages, commit, or open PRs before explicit
APPROVE.
- Never default to bypass flags (
--yolo, --dangerously-skip-permissions).
- Use bypass flags only when the user explicitly asks to bypass approvals.
