Maestro

This is a Hermes-native maestro workflow skill.

Why This Exists

maestro exists so a handoff to an already-chosen external coding CLI carries that CLI's own installed skills, a stated dispatchability boundary, and a captured session id instead of a guessed prompt; absent an explicit coding-owner choice, work runs inside the Hermes harness and no external coding CLI is selected, and this engine only loads once that explicit choice is already made.

Do Not Use When

• No coding owner is chosen yet for this run; the Hermes harness stays the default and this engine never picks one.
• The request is a concept question about maestro, prepared handoffs, or a coding-agent name, or a filename that happens to contain one -- answer directly instead.
• The user wants advice on which coding owner to pick -- ask, don't compose.
• The user is asking whether an owner CAN run right now -- use executor-runtime-readiness instead.
• The request is lane-splitting or a full delivery cycle rather than one lane's handoff -- use ultrawork, which enters this engine for lanes with an external owner.
