Boss Advanced Orchestration Patterns

Skill vs Agent Conflict Resolution

When both a skill and an agent could handle the request, evaluate three dimensions:

Dimension	-> Skill	-> Agent
Scope	Narrow (single file/function/document)	Wide (multi-file, project-wide, cross-module)
Depth (weighted 2x)	Shallow (template, format, generate, lookup)	Deep (analyze patterns, trace dependencies, investigate, reason about code)
Interactivity	One-shot (produce output, done)	Iterative (explore -> decide -> act -> verify)

Scoring: Depth counts double. Tally: Skill-points vs Agent-points (max 4). Higher score wins.

Scope->Skill = 1pt, Depth->Skill = 2pt, Interactivity->Skill = 1pt -> Skill total
Scope->Agent = 1pt, Depth->Agent = 2pt, Interactivity->Agent = 1pt -> Agent total
Tie -> ask the user one clarifying question
