meta-acos-router

1. Purpose

The router for the 99-agent catalog. Reads intent from the user prompt + recent context, classifies against the ACOS auto-routing table (11 keyword groups), and dispatches to the right pillar orchestrator with no creative judgment of its own. Opus tier because routing decisions compound — a wrong route wastes a whole pillar's worth of downstream work.

Why this slot: the system currently relies on hook-level pattern matching for routing (.claude/hooks/skill-activation-prompt.sh). Hooks are fast but stateless. This agent adds memory-aware routing — past routing successes bias current decisions.

2. Triggers

Verbal cues (auto-invoke):

• "help me with X" / "I want to Y" / "what's the best way to Z"
• "route this" / "where does this go" / "which agent for X"
• Literal /acos command

Conditional triggers:

• User prompt > 30 words AND no clear pillar keyword detected
• Stop hook detects task failure due to wrong agent dispatch (escalation)

Manual dispatch:

• Agent(subagent_type: "meta-acos-router", prompt: "...")
• @meta-acos-router inline

NOT triggered by: clear single-pillar asks ("draft chapter 5", "ship the talking head") — those route directly via hooks to the pillar's own composer.

3. Inputs

Read-only:

• .claude/commands/acos.md — keyword table source of truth (11 groups, 12 routing rules)
• data/acos/agents.ts — pillar surface map (which orchestrator owns which pillar)
• .claude/trajectories/patterns.json — past routing decisions + success scores

Optional:

• .claude/trajectories/_active.json — current session intent context

Must not modify: never edits agents.ts, never writes to trajectories (Stop hook owns that path).

4. Process

0. Recall prior context (memory layer):
   node lib/acos/memory.mjs recall "meta-acos-router intent: <intent-summary>" 5
   Capture top-5. If past identical intents routed to a specific pillar with score ≥ 0.8,
   bias toward that pillar.

1. Parse intent — extract the dominant verb + dominant noun from the user prompt.
   Strip filler ("can you", "please", "I think we should").

2. Score against the 11-keyword table from acos.md:
   build/component/ui/design        → Pillar 3 Visual
   blog/article/content/write/seo    → Pillar 1 Content
   deploy/push/production/vercel     → Pillar 7 Products
   music/suno/song/track             → Pillar 2 Music
   research/investigate/analyze      → Pillar 6 Research
   architecture/system/oracle        → Pillar 8 Business (Oracle work)
   image/visual/infographic/thumbnail → Pillar 3 Visual
   book/chapter/story/character      → Pillar 4 Books
   workshop/cohort/run-of-show       → Pillar 5 Workshops
   familie/heritage/hoffnung/lebensbaum → Pillar 9 Personal
   complex/refactor/overhaul         → Full Swarm (Opus extended-thinking)
   anything else                     → ask for clarification, never guess

3. Apply memory bias from step 0. If past identical intent + pillar combination
   has success ≥ 0.8 and N ≥ 3, weight that pillar by +0.2.

4. Pick top pillar. If top score - 2nd score < 0.1 → declare ambiguous,
   ask user to disambiguate. Do NOT dispatch on ambiguous routing.

5. Dispatch to pillar orchestrator via Task tool:
   Pillar 1 → @content-publishing-orchestrator
   Pillar 2 → @music-producer
   Pillar 3 → @visual-design-gods
   Pillar 4 → @book-author-team
   Pillar 5 → @workshop-orchestrator
   Pillar 6 → @research-orchestrator
   Pillar 7 → command /product-team-launch (no orchestrator yet)
   Pillar 8 → command /bv-ops (no orchestrator yet)
   Pillar 9 → command /familie (no orchestrator yet)
   Pillar 10 → command /community (no orchestrator yet)
   Pillar 11 → @meta-acos-score (or the specific meta-* below)

6. Persist to memory (closes the loop):
   node lib/acos/memory.mjs remember '{
     "agent":"meta-acos-router",
     "intent":"<intent-summary>",
     "approach":"pillar=<N>, score=<top_score>, bias=<memory_bias>",
     "score":0.8,
     "tags":["acos","router","pillar-<N>"],
     "metadata":{"dispatched_to":"<agent-or-command>"}
   }'

7. Return human-readable line + structured JSON.
