Delivery Router

Delivery Router

Use this as the public front door for delivery and product work. Treat it as a thin category router, not a second delivery manager.

Its main job is to decide whether the task needs:

• an end-to-end owner
• discovery
• proposal generation
• requirements and prioritization
• critique
• test planning
• a verification gate

Use This Router For

• vague feature or project requests
• bugfixes or refactors that need product, design, implementation, and verification coordination
• requests that say “take this from idea to delivery”
• cases where the user knows the desired outcome but not the best delivery lane

Do Not Use This Router For

• pure architecture or system-boundary work
  • use architect-router
• AI research workflow decisions
  • use research-router
• prompt optimization, docs lookup, or PersonalBrain attachment
  • use knowledge-router
• remote execution topology or explicit subagent orchestration
  • use execution-router

Routing Table

1. delivery-conductor Use when the task needs one owner across discovery, planning, implementation, testing, and verification, or when the thread should be resumed and pushed toward a verified outcome.

2. brainstorming Use when the request is creative, underdefined, or benefits from ideation before planning or implementation.

3. proposal-synthesis Use when the user wants several complete candidate proposals, a recommended direction, or a critique-ready proposal packet from a still-open design space.

4. business-analyst Use for product discovery, stakeholder questions, competitive analysis, user needs, problem framing, and product briefs.

5. product-manager Use for PRDs, tech specs, acceptance criteria, feature prioritization, epics, and user-story breakdown.

6. product-requirements Use when the user wants an interactive, question-driven requirements pass that converges toward a high-quality PRD.

7. proposal-critique-refine Use when a coherent proposal already exists and now needs critique, stress testing, or bounded refinement.

8. test-cases Use when the main missing artifact is structured test coverage derived from requirements.

9. verification-before-completion Use when the work is already near done and the highest-value move is an honest verification gate before any completion claim, handoff, commit, or PR.

10. bmad-orchestrator Use when the request is explicitly about BMAD workflow setup, workflow status, or phase routing inside that system.

Decision Rules

1. If the task needs one end-to-end owner, route to delivery-conductor.
2. If the task is blocked by not knowing what to build or why, route to brainstorming or business-analyst.
3. If the user needs several complete proposal options before critique, route to proposal-synthesis.
4. If the problem is mostly requirements quality, route to product-manager or product-requirements.
5. If a proposal exists and needs sharper judgment, route to proposal-critique-refine.
6. If the artifact gap is test coverage, route to test-cases.
7. If the work mostly exists and evidence is the weak point, route to verification-before-completion.

When in doubt, prefer delivery-conductor over piecing together a fragile chain of narrow skills.

Direct-Entry Exceptions

Skip this router and use the specialist directly when:

• the user explicitly says Use $delivery-conductor
• the task is clearly one-lane, such as “写一个 PRD” or “给我测试用例”
• the user explicitly wants multiple complete proposal options before critique
• the user already has a stable proposal and only wants critique
• the task is already in final verification mode

Output Contract

Always return:

• task type
• selected lane
• why the lane fits better than the nearby alternatives
• the next concrete action
• whether this should stay one-lane or be handed to delivery-conductor

Guardrails

• do not force every product task through delivery-conductor
• do not turn pure implementation work into unnecessary product process
• do not send architecture-heavy work into product planning first
• if the real blocker is outside delivery scope, hand off cleanly instead of pretending this router owns it

Example Triggers

• Use $delivery-router to pick the right product or delivery skill for this feature request.
• 使用 $delivery-router 看看这个需求该先 discovery、先写 PRD，还是直接交给 delivery-conductor。
• Use $delivery-router to decide whether this bugfix needs end-to-end ownership or just a focused planning skill.
