SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of tool discovery and workflow orchestration within the ai-factory ecosystem, ensuring developers use the correct subagent, skill, or MCP tool for their specific task.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified Routing: Acts as a central directory to map developer intent to the appropriate AIF pipeline step or org-workflow skill.
  • Contextual Guidance: Provides clear rules on when to use references, subagents, or live MCP tools to avoid speculation and ensure accuracy.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, use this skill to determine whether to initiate the spec-driven pipeline, trigger a specific subagent for research, or query live state via MCP.

Quick Start

Use the using-aif skill to identify the correct workflow for implementing a new feature request in the current repository.

FAQPage Schema
What is an AI workflow routing table for software development?

An AI workflow routing table maps developer intent to the appropriate AI-factory skill, subagent, or MCP tool based on task context. It manages pipeline discovery and deterministic hooks to streamline software development lifecycles.

How do I orchestrate developer tasks to the correct AI pipeline?

You orchestrate developer tasks by using a central routing directory that analyzes your current task context. It provides structured mapping between your requirements and available system capabilities to trigger the correct subagent or skill.

When should I route a feature request to a subagent versus an MCP tool?

Route to a subagent for research tasks or to initiate spec-driven pipelines, and query live state via MCP tools when you need real-time data. The routing skill provides contextual rules to avoid speculation and ensure accurate tool selection.

Does the AI-factory routing system support deterministic hooks?

Yes, the AI-factory routing system manages deterministic hooks alongside org-workflow modules. This facilitates accurate tool selection by mapping task requirements to available system capabilities without relying on speculative execution.

What is the best way to discover available skills in an AI-factory pipeline?

The best way to discover available skills is through a unified routing table that acts as a central directory. It maps developer intent directly to the appropriate pipeline step or org-workflow skill for your specific task.

Can I use workflow orchestration to streamline my entire SDLC?

Yes, you can streamline your SDLC by routing developer intent through a central directory. It manages the discovery of pipeline modules and deterministic hooks to ensure correct system capability selection throughout the lifecycle.
