Claudex Route

Choose a useful next step for the task: keep it with the current agent, obtain a second opinion, investigate a blocker, or delegate a bounded piece of work. Give a brief recommendation before any requested execution. This skill is self-contained and does not start Claudex Loop, require a formal plan, or create review logs.

Understand the job

Use the current conversation and just enough relevant project context to identify the host, current model when known, desired outcome, and constraints. Consider ambiguity, code dependencies, verification difficulty, context size, and cost or speed preferences. A short prompt can describe a difficult task. Preserve explicit model and provider choices; do not silently replace them with your preferred pairing.

Treat a request for advice as recommendation-only. A request to route and perform work authorizes the scoped handoff within the user's existing permissions. The skill invocation by itself does not authorize implementation. Ask a question only when a missing fact materially changes the recommendation or authorized work; otherwise state your assumption.
