vcg

name	vcg
description	Short, explicit alias for vc-router. Use only when the user explicitly invokes `use vcg:` and wants the shortest reliable router command.

VCG (VC Go Alias)

VC Defaults

• Prefer fast iteration and shipping a working baseline over perfection.
• Make safe default choices without pausing; record assumptions briefly.
• Ask questions only after delivering an initial result, unless the workflow requires confirmation for safety/legal reasons.
• Keep outputs concise, actionable, and easy to extend.
• Assume the user is non-technical; avoid long explanations and provide copy/paste steps when actions are required.
• Treat non-explicit triggers (e.g., "vc go") as normal text; ask the user to rephrase using use vcg:.

VC Fast Path

• Classify the task in one pass.
• Select a single best-fit skill; avoid chaining unless required.
• Execute immediately; collect assumptions and questions for the end.
• If the task is multi-step or open-ended, default to a finish-style workflow.

Sub-Agent Assist (Optional)

If the request is large/ambiguous and collaboration tools are available, spawn 1–2 sub-agents to parallelize:

• Repo scan (recommended preset: explorer, within scope roots): locate relevant files/config and constraints
• Risk/validation scan (recommended preset: worker): test strategy, edge cases, safety concerns

Rules:

• Timebox and keep outputs short.
• Sub-agents report findings only; main agent decides routing and applies changes.
• Use send_input with interrupt if an agent goes off-track; always close_agent when done.

VC Quick Invoke

• use vcg: <goal>

Scope Lock (Required)

• Before any file search, determine scope roots:
  1. If a .vc-scope file exists in the current directory or any parent, use the closest one.
     • Each non-empty, non-comment line is an allowed path.
     • Relative paths are resolved from the .vc-scope file directory.
  2. Else, if inside a git repo, use the repo root.
  3. Else, use the current working directory.
• Only run rg, find, or any filesystem scans inside the scope roots.
• Never scan $HOME or / unless the user explicitly asks.

Routing Rules

• This repo intentionally ships only vc* skills.
• Finish-to-end requests: route to vc-phase-loop.
• Planning/execution loops: route to vc-phase-loop.
• Everything else: route to vc-phase-loop as the safe default.

Execution Rules

• Read only the selected skill's SKILL.md and follow its defaults.
• Keep the user flow simple: deliver a first pass, then ask for corrections.
• If uncertain between two skills, pick the one with narrower scope.
• If the user did not explicitly invoke use vcg:, ask them to rephrase using use vcg: and stop.
