What it does
Pipeline Router is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Route an unbound research Goal to one Workflow or materialize its initial C0 kickoff block; use during initial binding, not for later checkpoint summaries or approval.
Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `assets/pipeline-selection-form.md` and `scripts/run.py`).
The repository describes itself as: Research pipelines as semantic execution units: each skill declares inputs/outputs, acceptance criteria, and guardrails. Evidence-first methodology prevents hollow writing…
Example prompts
- “/pipeline-router”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Establish the requested Artifact
- Select one Workflow
- Materialize the commitment
- Expose the C0 checkpoint
- Verify the route
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c92912a. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Pipeline Router loads about 957 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 442 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 442 words (~957 tokens).
“Routing is a commitment: select one Workflow from the desired Artifact and evidence method, record that choice, and expose the next human Decision.”

How do I install Pipeline Router in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill pipeline-router -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/pipeline-router in WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills) into .claude/skills/pipeline-router in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Pipeline Router in Codex?
Run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill pipeline-router -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/pipeline-router in WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills) into .agents/skills/pipeline-router in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Pipeline Router in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill pipeline-router -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pipeline-router, .gemini/skills/pipeline-router, .github/skills/pipeline-router and .opencode/skills/pipeline-router in your project.
What does Pipeline Router need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Pipeline Router needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Pipeline Router access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Pipeline Router safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
