Route

The mandatory routing layer for Doctrine. The routing gate concept is documented in [[mem.concept.doctrine.routing-gate]]. Follow it rigorously unless the user has instructed otherwise. If the user explicitly invoked a skill, use that now; if the routing layer indicates a subsequent action in a chain, go on with it afterwards.

Do not respond, explore, inspect files, run commands, or start implementation until you have chosen the skill that governs the task. If there is a reasonable chance another Doctrine skill governs it, route through that skill first.

Do not rationalize around this. If you skip routing because the task feels familiar, simple, urgent, or "probably fine", you are doing it wrong:

• "I'll just inspect files first." → No. Routing decides how you inspect.
• "I already know the command shape." → No. Use the CLI, don't guess.
• "Small enough to skip routing." → Small tasks still need the right skill.
• "I'll gather context first and decide later." → Decide first.
