To create an auditable change record for AI-assisted code modifications, declare a Quick or Standard-plus mode and a single anchoring fact before execution. The system then generates a minimal change record under `.nuclear/changes/` to bind the change to its goal and risk profile for governance.

Mode declaration in AI-assisted change management workflows is the process of explicitly selecting a Quick or Standard-plus rigor level before any tool calls. It ensures controlled progression by routing work to the appropriate skill cluster based on the chosen mode and risk profile.

You route AI-assisted repository changes by selecting either Quick or Standard-plus mode during the initial scoping phase. This choice routes the work to the corresponding skill cluster, ensuring controlled progression from proposal to release with the appropriate level of governance.

Yes, this routing approach applies to repo adoption, code changes, and software releases. It automates initial scoping decisions to ensure auditable change records and proper routing through skill clusters for any AI-assisted modification.

You need a nuclear-grade routing process when your AI-assisted software changes require strict governance, an audit trail, and traceable decision records. It is essential for maintaining disciplined, auditable progress from proposal to release.
