router-first-architecture

Router-first architecture for AI agentic workflows abstracts tool selection through domain-specific routers, ensuring deterministic mapping from user intent to precise CLI commands instead of relying on direct script execution.

You route user intent to specific CLI commands by invoking a centralized domain router that interprets the request and delegates the task to specialized skills, ensuring consistent and predictable execution paths.

Using domain-specific routers instead of direct script execution enhances reliability and maintainability by preventing the AI from guessing which specific script to call and providing a centralized routing layer for complex skill ecosystems.

Yes, you can implement intent routing for workflow automation without external dependencies, as this architecture uses a standalone centralized routing layer to map user intents to specialized skills and precise commands.

You should avoid a centralized routing layer for tool selection when tasks require highly unpredictable ad-hoc execution paths, as this architecture prioritizes deterministic mapping and predictable execution over flexible direct script calls.
