Lvtd Skills Router

LVTD Skills Router

Use this skill to choose the smallest useful set of LVTD skills for the user's problem. Route by domain, outcome, and evidence needed. Prefer one primary skill; add secondary skills only when they cover a separate concern in the same workflow.

Source Of Truth

When working inside this repository, do not hand-maintain a static catalog in this skill. Use generated metadata:

1. Run npm run build:registry if dist/registry.json is missing or stale.
2. Read dist/registry.json.
3. Use each skill's name, description, category, tags, and hosts.codex.plugin or hosts.claudeCode.plugin.
4. Treat skills without a hosts.*.plugin value as direct-install skills.

When the generated registry is not available, inspect source frontmatter in skills/*/SKILL.md and plugin grouping rules in scripts/marketplace-utils.mjs. When using an installed plugin outside this repository, route from the installed skills and plugin metadata available in the current client.

Routing Workflow

1. Restate the user's concrete task in one phrase.
2. Search skill names, descriptions, tags, and plugin names for that task.
3. Choose the most specific matching skill whose description directly covers the current request.
4. If several skills match, prefer the one closest to the user's actual work: implementation over strategy, diagnosis over broad planning, framework-specific over framework-neutral when the framework is known.
5. Name the marketplace plugin only when the user asks what to install or when the matching skill is unavailable in the current client.
6. Continue with the selected skill when the user asked for work, not just advice.

Useful Registry Queries

List current marketplace plugins and included skills:

node --input-type=module -e '
import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";
const registry = JSON.parse(await readFile("dist/registry.json", "utf8"));
const plugins = new Map();
const direct = [];
for (const skill of registry.skills) {
  const plugin = skill.hosts?.codex?.plugin || skill.hosts?.claudeCode?.plugin;
  if (!plugin) {
    direct.push(skill.name);
    continue;
  }
  plugins.set(plugin, [...(plugins.get(plugin) || []), skill.name]);
}
for (const [plugin, skills] of [...plugins.entries()].sort()) {
  console.log(`${plugin}: ${skills.sort().join(", ")}`);
}
if (direct.length) {
  console.log(`direct-install: ${direct.sort().join(", ")}`);
}
'

Find candidate skills by keyword:

node --input-type=module -e '
import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";
const query = process.argv.slice(1).join(" ").toLowerCase();
const registry = JSON.parse(await readFile("dist/registry.json", "utf8"));
for (const skill of registry.skills) {
  const haystack = [
    skill.name,
    skill.displayName,
    skill.description,
    skill.category,
    ...(skill.tags || []),
  ].join(" ").toLowerCase();
  if (haystack.includes(query)) {
    const plugin = skill.hosts?.codex?.plugin || "direct-install";
    console.log(`${skill.name} (${plugin}) - ${skill.description}`);
  }
}

Tie-Breakers

• Django-specific htmx work: choose django-htmx; use htmx-* skills for framework-neutral patterns or deeper htmx mechanics.
• Rust game work: choose rust-game-* or Bevy/bracket/roguelike skills before general Rust skills when the request is explicitly game-related.
• SEO channel tests from Traction: choose traction-seo-content; broader SEO strategy, roadmap, technical SEO, or link-building work belongs in seo.
• Experiment design, analysis, platform strategy, or long-term measurement: choose practical-ab-testing; growth channel tests belong in traction.
• Developer documentation research, planning, drafting, samples, diagrams, information architecture, or maintenance belongs in developer-docs.
• Product page, pricing page, launch page, social preview, or shareability audit: choose make-product-viral.
• Calibre library CLI work: choose calibredb.
• Test suite architecture outside a framework-specific skill: choose the framework-neutral tdd plugin skills.

Avoid

• Do not load every candidate skill just to browse. Route from metadata first.
• Do not continue routing once a specific skill clearly fits.
• Do not copy plugin names or skill lists into this file unless they are durable tie-breakers. Generated registry data is the catalog source of truth.
