What it does

Workflow Routing is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Use when starting any task, before invoking any other skill or GSD command, to route between Superpowers skills and GSD commands from project state and task scope. Fires first when both systems are installed.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: CoCo Super Intelligence is the orchestration layer that turns Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex into an engineering department: a routed advisory board, 226 skills, 386 commands…

When your agent uses it

  • Starting any task
  • Before invoking any other skill
  • Route between Superpowers skills and GSD commands from project state and task scope

Example prompts

  • “/workflow-routing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Always /brainstorming before creative work — regardless of GSD or Superpowers
  2. Always /verification-before-completion before claiming done — no exceptions
  3. Always /requesting-code-review after significant implementation — works in both contexts
  4. Always /test-driven-development when writing code — embedded discipline, not optional
  5. Always /systematic-debugging before proposing fixes — root cause first

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6036e9c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are dot).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Workflow Routing loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 464 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 464 words (~2,325 tokens).
