Skill Router
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- The user says "I don't know where to start" or "which skill should I use"
- The user has a vague goal without a clear method
- The user asks "what should I use for..." or "I'm not sure how to approach this"
- The user is new to the skill library and needs guidance
Goal
Help users who are unsure of what they want to do or which skill to use.
Interview them with a short structured conversation, then recommend the most
relevant skill(s) from the installed library — with a clear explanation of
why each skill fits and exactly how to invoke it.
Instructions
Step 1 — Acknowledge and open the interview
Respond warmly and tell the user you'll ask a few quick questions to find
the right skill for them. Do NOT suggest any skills yet.
Example opener:
"No problem — let me ask you a few quick questions so I can point you to
exactly the right skill."
Step 2 — Ask the Funnel Questions (one at a time, in order)
Ask only what you need. If an earlier answer makes a later question
irrelevant, skip it.
Q1 — What is the broad area of the task?
Present these as numbered options:
- Building / coding something (app, feature, component, script)
- Fixing or debugging something that's broken
- Security, pentesting, or vulnerability assessment
- AI agents, LLMs, or automation pipelines
- Marketing, SEO, content, or growth
- DevOps, infrastructure, deployment, or git
- Design, UI/UX, or creative output
- Planning, strategy, or documentation
- Something else (ask them to describe it)
Q2 — How specific is the task?
- I have a clear spec / I know exactly what I want built
- I have a rough idea but need help shaping it
- I'm totally starting from scratch with no clear direction
Q3 — What tech stack or domain is involved? (only ask if relevant)
Examples: React / Next.js, Node.js, Python, AWS, Stripe, AI/LLM, no-code, etc.
If they say "not sure" or "any", that's fine — move on.
Q4 — Do you want to work autonomously (agent does everything) or
collaboratively (you stay in the loop)?
- Fully autonomous — just go
- Collaborative — I want to review/approve steps
- Not sure yet
Step 3 — Recommend skills
Based on their answers, recommend 1 primary skill and up to 2 secondary
skills. Structure your recommendation exactly like this:
✅ Primary Skill: @skill-name
Why: [1–2 sentences explaining why this is the best fit for what they described]
Invoke it like this:
@skill-name [paste their goal here]
🔁 Also consider:
@skill-name-2 — [one sentence on when to layer this in]@skill-name-3 — [one sentence on when to layer this in]
Step 4 — Offer a ready-made prompt
After the recommendation, offer to write them a ready-to-use prompt they
can paste directly into Antigravity. Ask:
"Want me to write the full prompt for you so you can just paste it in?"
If yes, compose a complete, specific prompt using the recommended skill and
everything you learned about their goal from the interview.
Example Interaction
User: @skill-router I want to build something but I'm not sure where to start
Agent: No problem — let me ask a few quick questions.
What is the broad area?
(1) Building (2) Debugging (3) Security (4) AI/LLM
(5) Marketing (6) DevOps (7) Design (8) Planning
User: 1 - building something
Agent: How specific is the task?
(1) Clear spec (2) Rough idea (3) Starting from scratch
User: 2 - rough idea
Agent: What tech stack? (React, Node, Python, etc. — or "not sure")
User: Next.js
Agent: ✅ Primary Skill: @brainstorming
Why: You have a rough idea that needs shaping before building.
Brainstorming asks structured questions and produces a clear spec.
@brainstorming help me design a [your app idea] using Next.js
🔁 Also consider:
- @plan-writing — once brainstorming produces a spec, break it into tasks
- @senior-fullstack — when you are ready to start building
Want me to write the full prompt for you?
