maptasks — Route Engineering Work to the Right Model

Overview

Given a specified engineering task (or set of tasks), produce a routing plan that:

1. Checks whether the task is broken down enough to route. If not, proposes a finer breakdown first.
2. Categorizes each leaf work unit using a 30-category task taxonomy.
3. Assigns each unit to the best-suited model based on practitioner evidence (April 2026).
4. Explains why this model is best for this category — citing the rule or evidence.
5. Specifies the context briefing each model needs to do its job.
6. Flags model-specific failure modes to watch for.

The skill is evidence-driven, not vibes-driven. Every recommendation traces to a category lookup or a numbered decision rule.

The Three-Tier Strategy (always implicit)

Every routing plan should distribute work across three tiers in roughly these proportions:
