agent-architect

Task routing classifies knowledge work and delegates to appropriate skills based on task type. Agent-architect distinguishes between LAW and KNOWLEDGE tasks, then immediately invokes the correct skill—such as write-skill for skill creation, write-rules for rule updates, or write-hook for hook implementation—ensuring work reaches the right executor.

LAW tasks modify system constraints, rules, hooks, or CLAUDE.md—structural guardrails. KNOWLEDGE tasks create or refine skills, commands, and subagents—functional logic. Classification determines routing: LAW delegates to rule or hook writers; KNOWLEDGE delegates to skill or subagent builders.

Yes. Mandatory delegation enforces that each step—creating skills, updating CLAUDE.md, writing rules, or spawning subagents—immediately invokes the appropriate skill via the Skill tool. The architecture reviews results before proceeding to the next step, maintaining orchestration control.

Use an architecture advisor when workflows involve creating or modifying skills, rules, hooks, subagents, or CLAUDE.md. Direct execution loses routing intelligence and accountability. Delegation ensures each task reaches a specialized handler, reducing errors and maintaining system consistency across orchestrated work.

The architecture advisor reviews results after delegation and can halt or retry. Mandatory delegation with result review prevents silent failures and allows the orchestrator to diagnose, log, or escalate before proceeding, ensuring workflow reliability.
