Ski Help Router

Help Router

Renders the right menu for the right moment. Adapted to the AiAgentArchitect layer model and the 3-platform output structure.

Input

• context_hint: optional string identifying the context the caller wants help for. If absent, the skill infers the context from Memory + filesystem state.
• verbose: optional boolean. When true, also explain why each option is shown or filtered.

Output

A markdown block to render in chat:

You're at: <inferred or hinted context>

What you can do now:
  A) <option label> — <one-line description>
  B) <option label> — <one-line description>
  ...

Run `/help --verbose` for filter rationale.

Procedure

Step 1 — Determine context

If context_hint is provided, use it directly. Otherwise:

1. Read config/manifest.yaml to discover which layers are active.
2. If the Memory layer is active, find the most recent file in memory/ matching the current project. Extract last_checkpoint, status, mode.
3. Map state → context:
   • No memory file present → root-no-project
   • last_checkpoint = CP-S0 and status = in-progress → cp-s0-pending
   • Same pattern for CP-S1, CP-S2, CP-S3-N, CP-CLOSE
   • status = paused → paused-resumable
   • status = completed → completed-options
4. If state is ambiguous, fall back to mid-step.

Step 2 — Look up the context menu

Read menus.csv (sibling file in this skill directory). Find the row where context matches the inferred context. Each row contains pipe-separated options of the form label|description|action|layer_required.

If no row matches, fall back to the default row.

Step 3 — Filter options by active layers

For each option:

• If layer_required is empty, include the option.
• If layer_required is non-empty, include the option only if that layer is enabled: true in config/manifest.yaml.

Step 4 — Append entity-discovery options (if registry available)

If repository/entities-registry.csv exists, surface the top 3 most-relevant entities for the current context (e.g. at CP-S2 surface ski-entity-selector, ski-diagram-generator). The skill uses simple heuristics: matches on entity description against the context label.

If the registry does not exist, append a single option:

*) Build the entities registry — `python3 .agents/layers/help-router/scripts/build-registry.py`

Step 5 — Render menu

Compose a markdown block as in the Output section above. Letter the options A, B, C, ... Use *) for utility / housekeeping options. Keep each option to one line.

When verbose is true, append a section:

Filtered out:
  - <option> — requires layer `<layer-id>` (not active)
  - ...

Error handling

• manifest.yaml missing → show the error and direct the user to run node scripts/install.mjs or bash install.sh.
• menus.csv malformed → show the parser error and offer to fall back to a hard-coded minimal menu (Run /wor-agentic-architect, See README.md).
• All other I/O errors → log and degrade to the minimal menu.

Notes on context inference

The skill reads but never writes Memory or the ledger. It only reads them. The orchestrator owns mutation of those files; this skill is purely advisory.
