capability-routing

capability-routing is a skill for Claude Code from tunahanaliozturk/atelier. It costs 27 tokens per session (313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for matching an assigned task with the registered agent whose abilities best fit it. It uses task details and the available agent registry to make the match.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when routing implementation, testing, planning, or other tasks to specialist agents, including recording why the selected agent was chosen.
Why use it?
It reduces unsuitable assignments and identifies when no registered agent is a reasonable fit.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

capability-routing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Capability Routing

Route each task with the lib/routing.mjs helper, then apply judgment:

  1. Build the task descriptor { kind, layer?, capabilities? } from the planner's tagged step. The registry is in context from the SessionStart hook; if it is not (a session started without the hook), read the agents/ directory with readRegistry first.
  2. Call route(task, agents). It coarse-filters by layer and task_kinds, scores each candidate by task_kinds and capabilities overlap, and breaks ties deterministically (score descending, then name ascending).
  3. If route returns fallback: true, no agent fits. Do not force a poor match: tell the user and use the writing-agents skill to scaffold a new agent that follows the capability schema.
  4. Otherwise take pick as the default. You may override it for a documented reason by reading the candidates' descriptions — but record the final choice and the reason (including the score) in the mission decision log.

The orchestration and review layers are cross-cutting: the planner, lead, and reviewers are invoked by name in a fixed order, not selected by this filter.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
