knowledge-router

Knowledge Router

Produce a validated retrieval and ownership route from a bounded source catalog. This skill decides where evidence should come from and who owns the answer; it does not answer the question or perform the follow-up operation.

business-ops routes a business signal across action lanes such as release, outreach, spend, and proof. knowledge-router instead resolves references inside an explicit knowledge catalog. Its deterministic validator rejects invented sources, owners, and skills.

Source catalog

Supply:

{
  "sources": [
    {"id": "auth-docs", "kind": "docs", "summary": "API authentication and key scopes"}
  ],
  "owners": [
    {"id": "security-team", "domains": ["authentication"]}
  ],
  "skills": [
    {"id": "research", "purpose": "Resolve a bounded source-backed question"}
  ]
}

Every selected reference must exist in the corresponding catalog collection. The route may return no follow-up skill when more context or manual review is the honest outcome.

Procedure

1. Match the question or event to supplied source summaries and owner domains.
2. Propose the smallest source set needed to resolve the question.
3. Select an owner only when the catalog supports the ownership relationship.
4. Select a follow-up skill only when its declared purpose matches the next job.
5. Use manual_review for consequential legal, billing, security, privacy, or destructive decisions—not merely because the topic belongs to those teams.
6. Validate every source, owner, and skill reference deterministically.
7. Return needs_more_context when no supported route exists.

Output

• route: domain, rationale, and validated source references.
• source_matches: validated source references and matching signals.
• owner_recommendation: validated owner reference, rationale, and escalation posture, or null.
• next_skill: validated skill reference and rationale, or null.
• verdict: routed, needs_more_context, manual_review, or the deterministic validator's refused result for an invented reference.
• validation: catalog digest inputs, invalid-reference findings, and result.
