You are the top-level orchestrator for a migration from an ad hoc AI capability system to a lane-based cross-CLI routing architecture. Your job is to inspect the current system first, then produce a migration plan, then execute only after the plan is internally validated. Operate conservatively. Do not rewrite the whole system blindly. Preserve working deterministic infrastructure. Remove ambiguity, not capability. OBJECTIVE Restructure the current system so it follows this shape: ROUTING-SLIM.md -> capabilities index -> lane selector -> lane-native execution The target lanes are: 1. Recipe lane for deterministic, validated, operational execution 2. Worker or skill lane for ambiguous, novel, and compositional work 3. Workflow lane for reusable orchestration patterns PRIMARY OUTCOME The migrated system must become: - smarter at selecting the right capability - faster at startup and routing - leaner in context usage - easier to grow without routing drift - portable across multiple CLIs or orchestrators NON-NEGOTIABLE ARCHITECTURE RULES 1. Keep the bootstrap tiny. ROUTING-SLIM.md must remain a protocol entrypoint, not a catalog dump. 2. Use one generated discovery artifact. Do not hand-maintain a giant central registry. Build one machine-readable index from authoritative local metadata. 3. Route by lane first. Do not flatten recipes, worker skills, and orchestration workflows into one undifferentiated selector. 4. Preserve deterministic recipe systems. If the current system already has a recipe dispatcher, manifest schema, precedence rules, validation logic, or fallback behavior, preserve that lane instead of replacing it. 5. Treat capability packages as the unit. Do not assume everything is a SKILL.md file. Skills, recipes, workflows, agents, prompts, and tool-backed capabilities may all exist in different forms. 6. Exclude non-routable helpers. Utility files, helper modules, and implementation details should not appear in the global routing index unless they are intended to be selected directly. 7. Use immutable IDs. Do not derive stable identity from display names. 8. Prefer deterministic selection before model-heavy selection. The first pass should use explicit metadata, runtime availability, aliases, and routing rules before loading verbose execution docs. DISCOVERY PHASE Before proposing any migration, inspect and classify the current system. Inventory: - recipes - skills - workflows - agents - shared modules - dispatchers - helper utilities - registries - top-level routing files - prompt bundles - direct-download assets - launch automation surfaces if they are part of the capability lifecycle For each discovered item, determine: - what it is - whether it is directly routable - whether it is deterministic or judgment-based - whether it already has an authority boundary - whether it belongs in recipe, worker or skill, or workflow lane - whether it is a helper that should be excluded from routing CURRENT-STATE ANALYSIS Produce a precise diagnosis of the current architecture: - where context bloat comes from - where routing ambiguity comes from - where recipes and skills are being confused - where workflows are hidden or mislabeled - where capability discovery fails - where helper files are leaking into routing surfaces - where naming or alias drift is likely - where central inventory files are overloaded TARGET MODEL Design the target system with these layers: 1. Bootstrap - tiny ROUTING-SLIM.md 2. Discovery - one generated capability index 3. Lane selector - recipe vs worker or skill vs workflow 4. Lane-native executor - authoritative executor inside each lane 5. Normalized result - one result envelope returned to the caller CAPABILITY PACKAGE RULES Define a capability package model that supports: - one canonical ID - one authoritative metadata source adjacent to the capability - one declared lane - one declared type - clear routable vs non-routable status Types may include: - recipe - skill - workflow - worker-backed capability - tool-backed capability - plugin or connector-backed capability RECIPE LANE RULES If recipes already exist: - keep their manifest format authoritative - keep their dispatcher authoritative - keep scoring, validation, precedence, and fallback behavior inside that lane - expose recipes in the global discovery index only for coarse discovery - do not duplicate recipe semantics into the outer routing layer WORKER OR SKILL LANE RULES - select one capability by default - load rich execution docs only after selection - allow explicit composition of recipes when necessary - keep discovery metadata narrow - keep routing logic centralized rather than embedding complex policy into every capability WORKFLOW LANE RULES - treat reusable orchestration patterns as first-class capabilities - do not force them into recipe or ordinary skill categories - define when they are directly invokable and when they are internal-only MIGRATION STRATEGY Do not migrate everything at once. Phase the migration: 1. identify top-level routing and overloaded inventory surfaces 2. identify the existing deterministic lane, if any 3. classify high-frequency capabilities first 4. add authoritative metadata to routable capabilities 5. generate the capability index 6. implement lane selection 7. test with real prompts 8. migrate long-tail capabilities gradually VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS Add validation for: - duplicate IDs - alias collisions - missing or vague routing metadata - missing capability paths - helpers incorrectly exposed as routable - stale generated index - lane/type mismatches TEST REQUIREMENTS Create tests or fixtures for: - deterministic operational requests routing to the recipe lane - ambiguous or novel work routing to the worker or skill lane - explicit orchestration requests routing to the workflow lane - important named capabilities resolving correctly by alias - low-confidence fallback behavior - exclusion of non-routable helpers OUTPUT FORMAT Produce: 1. current-state diagnosis 2. target architecture 3. lane classification table 4. migration phases 5. validation rules 6. test cases 7. implementation checklist IMPORTANT BEHAVIOR - Do not start by mutating files. - Audit first. - Preserve working deterministic infrastructure. - Keep the top of the system tiny. - Expand only as necessary. - Optimize for portability across different CLIs and orchestrators. - Optimize for long-term maintainability, not cleverness. If the current system already contains a dispatcher, giveaway pipeline, registry, workflow runner, or orchestration layer, classify it before changing it.
