Inputs

• Env: optional RELAY_SKILL_ROOT defaults to skills.
• Files: /tmp/relay-ready-contract.json with request, handoff, leaf, and Done Criteria fields; generated request artifacts under ~/.relay/requests/<repo-slug>/.
• Sibling scripts: ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-ready/scripts/persist-request.js, ${RELAY_SKILL_ROOT:-skills}/relay-dispatch/scripts/dispatch.js.

Relay Ready

Use when

• /relay cannot safely bypass straight to planning
• The request is ambiguous, too broad, or may need multiple ordered leaves
• No stable Done Criteria or review anchor exists yet

Do not use when

• Authoring rubrics or dispatch prompts — use relay-plan
• Delegating implementation work — use relay-dispatch
• Reviewing executor output — use relay-review
• Landing a reviewed GitHub change — use relay-merge
