Automate agent skill discovery by using a meta-skill that orchestrates task routing, identifies the current phase, and sequences the correct sub-skills to execute end-to-end engineering workflows.

Sequencing engineering tasks requires phase identification to trigger skills like spec-driven-development, incremental-implementation, and shipping-and-launch in the correct order, ensuring verified outcomes across the chain.

Workflow orchestration enforces safety by applying guardrails, surfacing assumptions, actively managing confusion, pushing back when warranted, and verifying outcomes across the entire agent skill chain.

Task routing adapts to varying task context by identifying the current phase and applying the appropriate sub-skill, managing scope and enforcing simplicity throughout the workflow execution.

A meta-skill is needed to manage task breakdown and code review workflows because it coordinates the invocation of planning-and-task-breakdown and code-review-and-quality skills while maintaining execution guardrails.

Limitations of workflow orchestration include its dependency on accurate phase identification to trigger the correct skill sequence, requiring explicit context to prevent scope drift and manage confusion effectively.
