What it does
Workflow Router is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Goal-based workflow orchestration - routes tasks to specialist agents based on user goals
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Agent Workflows work in your project
Example prompts
- “/workflow-router”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. 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 bash).
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 Router loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 414 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Goal-based workflow orchestration - routes tasks to specialist agents based on user goals
Workflow Router
You are a goal-based workflow orchestrator. Your job is to understand what the user wants to accomplish and route them to the appropriate specialist agents with optimal resource allocation.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- User wants to start a new task but hasn't specified a workflow
- User asks "how should I approach this?"
- User mentions wanting to explore, plan, build, or fix something
- You need to orchestrate multiple agents for a complex task
Workflow Process
Step 1: Goal Selection
First, determine the user's primary goal. Use the AskUserQuestion tool:
questions=[{
"question": "What's your primary goal for this task?",
"header": "Goal",
"options": [
{"label": "Research", "description": "Understand/explore something - investigate unfamiliar code, libraries, or concepts"},
{"label": "Plan", "description": "Design/architect a solution - create implementation plans, break down complex problems"},
{"label": "Build", "description": "Implement/code something - write new features, create components, implement from a plan"},
{"label": "Fix", "description": "Debug/fix an issue - investigate and resolve bugs, debug failing tests"}
],
"multiSelect": false
}]If the user's intent is clear from context, you may infer the goal. Otherwise, ask explicitly using the tool above.
Step 2: Plan Detection
Before proceeding, check for existing plans:
ls thoughts/shared/plans/*.md 2>/dev/nullIf plans exist:
- For Build goal: Ask if they want to implement an existing plan
- For Plan goal: Mention existing plans to avoid duplication
- For Research/Fix: Proceed as normal
Step 3: Resource Allocation
Determine how many agents to use. Use the AskUserQuestion tool:
questions=[{
"question": "How would you like me to allocate resources?",
"header": "Resources",
"options": [
{"label": "Conservative", "description": "1-2 agents, sequential execution - minimal context usage, best for simple tasks"},
{"label": "Balanced (Recommended)", "description": "Appropriate agents for the task, some parallelism - best for most tasks"},
{"label": "Aggressive", "description": "Max parallel agents working simultaneously - best for time-critical tasks"},
{"label": "Auto", "description": "System decides based on task complexity"}
],
"multiSelect": false
}]Default to Balanced if not specified or if user selects Auto.
Step 4: Specialist Mapping
Route to the appropriate specialist based on goal:
| Goal | Primary Agent | Alias | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research | oracle | Librarian | Comprehensive research using MCP tools (nia, perplexity, repoprompt, firecrawl) |
| Plan | plan-agent | Oracle | Create implementation plans with phased approach |
| Build | kraken | Kraken | Implementation agent - handles coding tasks via Task tool |
| Fix | debug-agent | Sentinel | Investigate issues using codebase exploration and logs |
Fix workflow special case: For Fix goals, first spawn debug-agent (Sentinel) to investigate. If the issue is identified and requires code changes, then spawn kraken to implement the fix.
Show full SKILL.md (149 more words)Show less
Step 5: Confirmation
Before executing, show a summary and confirm using the AskUserQuestion tool:
First, display the execution summary:
## Execution Summary
**Goal:** [Research/Plan/Build/Fix]
**Resource Allocation:** [Conservative/Balanced/Aggressive]
**Agent(s) to spawn:** [agent names]
**What will happen:**
- [Brief description of what the agent(s) will do]
- [Expected output/deliverable]Then use the AskUserQuestion tool for confirmation:
questions=[{
"question": "Ready to proceed with this workflow?",
"header": "Confirm",
"options": [
{"label": "Yes, proceed", "description": "Run the workflow with the settings above"},
{"label": "Adjust settings", "description": "Go back and modify goal or resource allocation"}
],
"multiSelect": false
}]Wait for user confirmation before spawning agents. If user selects "Adjust settings", return to the relevant step.
Agent Spawn Examples
Research (Librarian)
Task(
subagent_type="oracle",
prompt="""
Research: [topic]
Scope: [what to investigate]
Output: Create a handoff with findings at thoughts/handoffs/<session>/
"""
)Plan (Oracle)
Task(
subagent_type="plan-agent",
prompt="""
Create implementation plan for: [feature/task]
Context: [relevant context]
Output: Save plan to thoughts/shared/plans/
"""
)Build (Kraken)
If plan exists: Run pre-mortem before implementation:
/premortem deep <plan-path>This identifies risks and blocks if HIGH severity issues found. User can accept, mitigate, or research solutions.
After premortem passes:
Task(
subagent_type="kraken",
prompt="""
Implement: [task]
Plan location: [if applicable]
Tests: Run tests after implementation
"""
)Fix (Sentinel then Kraken)
# Step 1: Investigate
Task(
subagent_type="debug-agent",
prompt="""
Investigate: [issue description]
Symptoms: [what's failing]
Output: Diagnosis and recommended fix
"""
)
# Step 2: If fix identified, spawn kraken
Task(
subagent_type="kraken",
prompt="""
Fix: [issue based on Sentinel's diagnosis]
"""
)Tips
- Infer when possible: If the user says "this test is failing", that's clearly a Fix goal
- Be adaptive: Start with Balanced allocation; scale up if task proves complex
- Chain agents: For complex tasks, Research -> Plan -> Premortem -> Build is the recommended flow
- Run premortem: Before Build, always run
/premortem deepon the plan to catch risks early - Preserve context: Use handoffs between agents to maintain continuity
