Router First Use Guide

Purpose

Give first-time users a short, practical guide for starting with the router hierarchy without loading the entire suite.

Use when

• A person or harness is using the suite for the first time.
• You want a quick-start explanation of how the main router and category routers work together.
• The task needs a minimal starter workflow.

Required inputs

• The incoming task or role.
• Whether the category is already obvious.
• Whether reusable context already exists.

Safety/authority

• Default to draft-only work.
• Do not pretend the suite requires runtime setup or integrations.
• Keep the first-use flow minimal and easy to follow.

Workflow

1. Start with agency-router if the task family is not obvious.
2. Let the main router resolve context with context-loader.
3. Move to one category router only if category-specific clarification is still needed.
4. Load 1–2 specialist skills after the router chooses the right lane.
5. Use skill-handoff-protocol if the work passes from one skill to the next.

Output format

- Best first step: ...
- Router path to use: ...
- Context prerequisite: ...
- Suggested starter stack: ...
- Next step prompt: ...

Quality checks

• The guide starts small.
• The router hierarchy is explained in practical terms.
• Context resolution is included.
• The result stays portable across harnesses.
