Model Router

Core rule: Prefer NONE or one primary skill. Route by mechanism fit, not habit. Combine only when roles are distinct and necessary.

When to Use

  • The right thinking skill is unclear and you would otherwise guess or stack tools.
  • Several catalog skills seem plausible and you need a single primary (or explicit NONE).
  • High-stakes work where a wrong frame is costly and a quick domain×type match helps.

When NOT to Use

  • The match is already known or obvious ("where's the bottleneck?" → theory-of-constraints) — invoke that skill directly; do not route for show.
  • The task is routine implementation with no analytical unknown — reason directly (NONE).
  • You are mid-execution of an agreed plan and only need the next concrete step.
  • The ask is outside this catalog (pure coding syntax, tool ops with no judgment call) — NONE.
