Skills Router

Routes techpacks.routeSkills(phase, component_type) requests to the appropriate fullstack-typescript skills. Core never loads tech pack skills directly — it invokes this router, which returns the skill paths to load.

Input

Invoked by the techpacks gateway with a structured context block:

phase: <phase>
component_type: <optional>
component_name: <optional>
agent: <optional>

Validated against skills-router-context.schema.json.

Component Standards Table

Maps component_type to the standards skills that apply during implementation and verification phases.

component_type	Standards Skills
server	backend-standards, typescript-standards
webapp	frontend-standards, typescript-standards
database	database-standards
contract	contract-standards, typescript-standards
helm	helm-standards
config	config-standards
cicd	cicd-standards
integration-testing	integration-testing-standards
e2e-testing	e2e-testing-standards

Skill Paths

Skill Name	Path (relative to tech pack root)
backend-standards	skills/components/backend/backend-standards/SKILL.md
frontend-standards	skills/components/frontend/frontend-standards/SKILL.md
database-standards	skills/components/database/database-standards/SKILL.md
contract-standards	skills/components/contract/contract-standards/SKILL.md
helm-standards	skills/components/helm/helm-standards/SKILL.md
config-standards	skills/components/config/config-standards/SKILL.md
cicd-standards	skills/components/cicd/cicd-standards/SKILL.md
integration-testing-standards	skills/components/integration-testing/integration-testing-standards/SKILL.md
e2e-testing-standards	skills/components/e2e-testing/e2e-testing-standards/SKILL.md
typescript-standards	skills/typescript-standards/SKILL.md
unit-testing	skills/unit-testing/SKILL.md
component-discovery	skills/component-discovery/SKILL.md
scaffolding	skills/scaffolding/SKILL.md
planning-standards	skills/planning-standards/SKILL.md

Phase Skills Table

Maps the lifecycle phase to the skill(s) to load.

Phase	Skills	Notes
component-discovery	component-discovery	Discovers component types and instances in the project
project-scaffolding	scaffolding	Scaffolding conventions for this tech pack
plan-generation	planning-standards	Planning conventions and output format
implementation	(from Component Standards Table)	Requires component_type in context
testing	integration-testing-standards, e2e-testing-standards	Both loaded regardless of component type
verification	(from Component Standards Table)	All standards for each component type involved

Phase Resolution Rules

1. component-discovery — Always loads the component-discovery skill. No component_type required.

2. project-scaffolding — Always loads the scaffolding skill. No component_type required.

3. plan-generation — Always loads the planning-standards skill. No component_type required.

4. implementation — Requires component_type. Look up the Component Standards Table and return the listed skills. If component_type is missing, return an error.

5. testing — Always loads integration-testing-standards and e2e-testing-standards. If a specific component_type is provided and it is integration-testing or e2e-testing, load only that one.

6. verification — Requires component_type. Look up the Component Standards Table and return all listed skills. The verifier uses these to check the implementation against standards.

Agent Context Table

Maps component_type to the agent declared in techpack.yaml that should be loaded via techpacks.loadAgent.

component_type	Agent Name	Agent Path
server	backend-dev	agents/backend-dev.md
webapp	frontend-dev	agents/frontend-dev.md
database	backend-dev	agents/backend-dev.md
contract	api-designer	agents/api-designer.md
helm	devops	agents/devops.md
config	backend-dev	agents/backend-dev.md
cicd	devops	agents/devops.md
integration-testing	tester	agents/tester.md
e2e-testing	tester	agents/tester.md

Loading Instructions

When the techpacks gateway invokes this router:

1. Read the context block — extract phase, component_type, component_name, and agent.

2. Resolve skill list — use the Phase Skills Table to determine which skills to load. For phases that reference the Component Standards Table (implementation, verification), look up the component_type entry.

3. Return skill paths — for each resolved skill name, map it to the relative path from the Skill Paths table above. The techpacks gateway will call techpacks.resolvePath to turn these into absolute paths and then techpacks.loadSkill to load each one.

4. Agent resolution — if the context includes a component_type and the phase is implementation or verification, also return the agent reference from the Agent Context Table. The techpacks gateway loads the agent via techpacks.loadAgent, which spawns a Task subagent with the resolved skills composed into its prompt.

Example

Request:

phase: implementation
component_type: server
component_name: main-server

Response:

skills:
  - skills/components/backend/backend-standards/SKILL.md
  - skills/typescript-standards/SKILL.md
agent:
  name: backend-dev
  path: agents/backend-dev.md
