SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of manually choosing between development and knowledge workflows by automatically identifying the user's current work context and adapting orchestration behavior accordingly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Classification: Detects whether a task belongs to Dev or Knowledge context using prompt signals, project structure, and explicit user overrides.
  • Workflow Adaptation: Helps workflow skills select appropriate agents, outputs, research approaches, and quality gates based on detected context.
  • Use Case: When a user asks for API implementation research or a market strategy report, this Skill determines the appropriate context so the surrounding workflow can apply the right process.

Quick Start

Use the skill-context-detection skill to determine whether the current task should run in development or knowledge mode.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically switch between development and knowledge workflows in Claude Code?

Context detection automatically classifies tasks into development or knowledge modes using prompt signals, project files, and user overrides. This eliminates manual workflow switching by identifying your work context and adapting orchestration behavior accordingly for adaptive research, building, review, and delivery processes.

What signals are used for task classification in AI workflow automation?

Task classification relies on prompt signals, project structures, and optional explicit user overrides to determine the appropriate context. By analyzing these inputs, the system detects whether a task requires development or knowledge-oriented processes to select matching agents and outputs.

When should I use context detection for task routing?

Use context detection when orchestrating AI workflows that require adaptive research, building, review, and delivery processes. It is necessary when your tasks shift between development contexts, like API implementation, and knowledge contexts, such as market strategy reports, requiring different workflow behaviors.

Can I override the detected work context manually?

Yes, explicit user overrides are supported alongside prompt signals and project files for context classification. Manual overrides ensure the workflow adaptation aligns with your specific intent, even if the automated task classification suggests a different development or knowledge mode.

Does context detection work without project files?

Context detection can classify tasks using prompt signals alone, but analyzing project files improves accuracy. Optional user overrides provide a fallback mechanism, ensuring workflow adaptation functions correctly even when structural project context is unavailable.
