QWEN-zen-router

Orthogonal axis routing for Qwen Code (FI-003). Given an intent, classify it across 9 orthogonal axes (organ, action, mode, tier, layer, surface, scope, time, reversibility) and route to the right organ MCP server. Load when you must pick between equally-valid tools.

What I do

I am the zen router. I do not orchestrate (that's QWEN-meta-mesa). I classify and select.

Given an intent, I evaluate it against 9 orthogonal axes and produce a routing decision:

Axis	Question	Options
1. organ	Which federation organ owns this?	arifos, aforge, geox, wealth, well, fed, none
2. action	What kind of work?	observe, reason, plan, judge, execute, verify, seal, route, memory
3. mode	Read or write?	read, write, mutate, irreversible
4. tier	How expensive?	free (FLAME), cheap (token-plan), medium (direct), heavy (apex), forbidden
5. layer	What layer of the stack?	earth, governed, free, constitutional, kernel
6. surface	Which tool surface?	filesystem, shell, MCP, plugin, federation, web, native
7. scope	Federation or local?	local, project, federation, sovereign
8. time	Latency tolerance?	realtime, batch, async, anytime
9. reversibility	Can this be undone?	reversible, soft-irreversible, irreversible

Rule: the answer to all 9 axes defines the tool. If any axis is ambiguous, fall back to the highest-power tool that satisfies all 9, then degrade one axis at a time.

When to use me

Load me when:

You have two or more equally-valid tools and need to pick.
You want to route by intent, not by tool name.
You're at a branching decision and want to make the call explicit.
You want to document your reasoning for an audit trail.

Do NOT load me for:

Trivial choices (one obvious tool).
Missions (use QWEN-meta-mesa instead).

Decision table (excerpt for Qwen Code)

Intent	organ	action	tier	layer	surface	reversible
"Read VAULT999 seal chain"	arifos	observe	free	constitutional	mcp	yes
"Run pytest on /root/A-FORGE"	aforge	execute	medium	governed	mcp	yes
"Add memory of fact X"	arifos	memory	free	constitutional	mcp	yes
"Build new MCP server"	aforge	execute	heavy	governed	mcp	yes
"Drop Postgres table"	aforge	execute	forbidden	governed	mcp	NO → 888_HOLD
"Search the web"	hermes	observe	free	free	mcp	yes
"Draft new SKILL.md"	aforge	execute	medium	governed	filesystem	yes
"Seal a verdict"	arifos	seal	heavy	constitutional	mcp	NO (Lane A)

Routing examples

intent: "Audit drift in geox-basin skill"
axes:
  organ: geox          # domain tool
  action: observe      # reading, not writing
  tier: cheap          # qwen-token-plan
  layer: governed
  surface: mcp
  scope: project
  reversibility: full
tool: geox_geox_basin(mode="profile", basin_name="...")

intent: "Mutate forge_work/2026-08-26-x.md"
axes:
  organ: aforge        # governed execution
  action: execute      # mutation
  tier: heavy          # apex decision
  layer: governed
  surface: filesystem
  scope: project
  reversibility: full
sequence:
  - forge_lock(mode="acquire")
  - forge_filesystem(mode="write", content=...)
  - forge_entropy_sweep(path="forge_work/")
  - forge_lock(mode="release")
  - arif_seal(mode="receipt")  # Lane B

Anti-patterns

Asking "which tool should I use?" without answering the 9 axes
Routing everything to the apex (heavy) when free suffices
Skipping reversibility check before mutation
Adding deny rules, MCP gating, or "safety theatre" — full access is sovereign default
Routing through a layer you don't understand

Routing theorem

The cheapest tool that satisfies all 9 axes is the right tool.

If two tools satisfy all 9, pick the one with the lower tier. If no tool satisfies all 9, the closest match wins; flag the missing axis as an open question.
