Work Routing Logic

Determine which workflow to route to based on context detection.

Called by: /work (Stage 3)

Confidence-Based Routing

Routes

Priority Order

1. Blocking tests → Fix
2. Completed initiatives → Archive
3. Active initiative → Resume
4. Non-blocking tests → Fix
5. Planning → Create plan
6. Clean slate → Prompt

Overrides: User explicit > Security > Broken build

Context Loading

Load these rules if you determine you need them based on their descriptions:

• Workflow Routing: /rules/13_workflow_routing.mdc - Apply when determining workflow routing and context analysis
• Task Orchestration: /rules/12_task_orchestration.mdc - Apply when managing complex task coordination and workflow orchestration

Stage 1: Analyze Context Signals

1.1 High Priority Signals

Check for blocking issues:

• Test failures (priority: HIGH)
• Build failures
• Security vulnerabilities
• Critical bugs

1.2 Initiative Signals

Check initiative status:

• Active initiatives with unchecked tasks
• Completed initiatives needing archival
• New initiatives requiring planning
• Blocked initiatives

1.3 Planning Signals

Identify planning needs:

• Unclear requirements
• Architecture decisions needed
• Research required
• Design work pending

Stage 2: Calculate Confidence

2.1 Signal Strength

Assess signal strength:

• Strong signals: 80-100% confidence
• Medium signals: 30-79% confidence
• Weak signals: <30% confidence

2.2 Signal Conflicts

Handle conflicting signals:

• User explicit instructions override all
• Security issues override convenience
• Broken builds override features

2.3 Context Clarity

Evaluate context clarity:

• Clear direction: High confidence
• Multiple options: Medium confidence
• Unclear requirements: Low confidence

Stage 3: Route Decision

3.1 High Confidence Routing

Auto-route when confidence >80%:

• Clear initiative with unchecked tasks → /implement
• Test failures → Fix + /implement
• Completed initiative → /archive-initiative
• Planning needed → /plan

3.2 Medium Confidence Routing

Recommend with alternatives:

• Primary recommendation
• Alternative options
• Risk assessment
• Decision criteria

3.3 Low Confidence Routing

Prompt user for direction:

• Context summary
• Available options
• Recommendation
• Decision criteria

Stage 4: Route Execution

4.1 Direct Routing

Execute recommended workflow:

• Load appropriate workflow
• Pass context information
• Monitor execution
• Handle errors

4.2 Alternative Routing

Present alternatives:

• Explain options
• Show trade-offs
• Get user input
• Execute chosen option

4.3 Fallback Routing

Handle unclear situations:

• Ask clarifying questions
• Provide context
• Suggest next steps
• Wait for guidance

Stage 5: Route Validation

5.1 Route Success

Validate successful routing:

• Workflow executed successfully
• Context properly passed
• Results achieved
• Next steps clear

5.2 Route Failure

Handle routing failures:

• Identify failure cause
• Suggest alternatives
• Escalate if needed
• Learn from failure

Workflow References

When this work-routing workflow is called:

1. Load: /commands/work-routing.md
2. Execute: Follow the routing decision stages defined above
3. Analyze: Process context signals
4. Decide: Make routing decision
5. Execute: Route to appropriate workflow

Anti-Patterns

❌ Don't:

• Ignore user instructions
• Skip confidence assessment
• Make assumptions
• Skip validation

✅ Do:

• Respect user instructions
• Assess confidence properly
• Validate assumptions
• Check route success

Success Metrics
