Skills Web Dev Router
This is the entrypoint for the skills-web-dev engine. It routes engineering work to the smallest accurate active skill, applies quality gates, and records evidence so outputs can be reviewed by a team that did not write them.
Standard implemented: Skills Web Dev July 2026 upgrade baseline. Last verified: 2026-07-08.
Non-negotiable foundation
Always apply these before domain work:
skills/sdlc-meta/anti-ai-slop/SKILL.mdwhile producing any artifact.skills/sdlc-meta/ai-slop-audit/SKILL.mdafter each major iteration and at release.templates/delivery-dod/evidence-pack.mdfor implementation, architecture, security, data, DevOps, AI, SaaS, mobile, or documentation deliverables.docs/source-registers/ai-platforms.mdwhen work depends on current AI, Apple, cloud, security, or framework facts.skills/sdlc-meta/kaizen-improvement-system/SKILL.mdfor every engine audit, product audit, book-driven improvement, and post-iteration learning cycle. Published audits are capped at 65/100; improvement plans target 95/100 and require evidence.
When a task requires external research, use the Digital Research Engine at C:\wamp64\www\digital-research-skills, beginning with its source-evaluation and source-verification skills.
Route by intent
| Intent | Primary skill family |
|---|---|
| AI application, model gateway, RAG, evaluations, agent runtime, HITL, AI cost or security | skills/ai/* |
| API contract, system architecture, distributed systems, microservices, validation contracts | skills/architecture/* |
| Database schema, SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, reliability, persistence | skills/backend-databases/* |
| CI/CD, cloud, containers, Kubernetes, release engineering, observability, reliability | skills/devops-cloud/* |
| React, Next.js, Tailwind implementation, frontend performance, image compression, content UX | skills/frontend-ux/* |
| Android, iOS, Kotlin Multiplatform, PWA, mobile operations | skills/android/*, skills/ios/*, skills/mobile-cross/* |
| Desktop applications, Avalonia UI and Python executable-suite packaging | skills/frontend-ux/avalonia-desktop-development, skills/languages/python-modern-standards, skills/languages/csharp-dotnet-development |
| GIS maps, spatial data, PostGIS and mapping APIs | skills/gis/gis-platform-engineering |
| Games, gameplay, interactive narrative, game assets, builds and live operations | skills/game-development/game-development-orchestration then the required specialist |
| TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, PHP, C#/.NET, Java/JVM, Spring, Jakarta EE, Hibernate, Maven, Gradle, WebLogic, Quarkus, Micronaut, Helidon, GraalVM | skills/languages/* |
| SaaS tenancy, pricing, billing, entitlements, SSO/SCIM, portability, admin tooling | skills/saas/* |
| Security audit, code safety, DPIA, Linux hardening, network security | skills/security/* |
| Product discovery, business metrics, documents, spreadsheets, proposal readiness, delivery control | skills/product-business/* |
| SDLC documentation, skill writing, catalog guardrails, world-class engineering gates | skills/sdlc-meta/* and 00-meta-initialization/* |
| Finance/accounting rules, statutory values, IFRS, close, audit, payroll, tax | External chwezi-accounting-doctrine; local finance skills only orchestrate implementation |
| Visual design, typography, UI/UX appearance, documents, slides, spreadsheets, PDF visual polish | External design-system-skills |
| Complete website delivery, content, SEO and launch | External website-skills; retain technical implementation here |
| Formal SRS, lifecycle specifications and governance artefacts | External srs-skills; retain implementation evidence here |
Running example
Use docs/world-class-exemplars/running-example.md: a Chwezi Core Systems multi-tenant field-service SaaS called FieldOps Ledger. The same example threads through architecture, API, database, identity, security, reliability, deployment, and evidence-pack artifacts.
Release workflow
- Read the selected domain
SKILL.md. - Load only the domain references, templates, and examples that the skill points to.
- If current facts are needed, check the appropriate source register and invoke Digital Research Skills Engine verification.
- Produce the artifact and evidence pack together.
- Run
python -X utf8 scripts\skill_catalog_guardrails.py --report-onlyafter routing or catalog changes. - Run
python -X utf8 scripts\routing_smoke_test.py --report-onlyafter routing fixtures or frontmatter changes. - Ship only when the evidence pack, anti-slop gate, and relevant domain validation pass.
Stop conditions
Stop and ask or research further when the request lacks a decision/audience, requires current platform/legal/statutory facts that have not been verified, asks for fabricated evidence, changes active-skill count without a routing reason, or would delete/move skill directories contrary to AGENTS.md.
