Maestro Core - Workflow Router
Central hub for Maestro workflow skills. Routes triggers, defines hierarchy, and handles fallbacks.
Skill Hierarchy
conductor (1) > orchestrator (2) > designing (3) > tracking (4) > specialized (5)
Higher rank wins on conflicts.
Ownership Matrix
| Skill | Owns | Primary Triggers |
|---|---|---|
| conductor | Implementation + autonomous | ci, ca, /conductor-implement, /conductor-autonomous |
| orchestrator | Parallel execution | co, /conductor-orchestrate |
| designing | Phases 1-10 (design β track creation) | ds, cn, /conductor-newtrack, /conductor-design |
| tracking | Task/bead management | bd *, fb, rb |
| handoff | Session cycling | ho, /conductor-finish, /conductor-handoff |
| creating-skills | Skill authoring | "create skill", "write skill" |
Workflow Chain
ds/cn β design.md β /conductor-newtrack β spec.md + plan.md β fb β tracking β ci/co/ca β implementation
Routing Table
CRITICAL: After loading maestro-core, you MUST explicitly load the target skill via skill(name="...") before proceeding.
See routing-table.md for complete trigger β skill mappings, phrase triggers, and conditional routing logic.
Quick Triggers
| Trigger | Skill |
|---|---|
ds, cn |
designing |
ci |
conductor |
ca |
conductor |
co |
orchestrator |
fb, rb, bd * |
tracking |
ho |
handoff |
Routing Flow
1. User triggers command (e.g., `ci`)
2. Load maestro-core β get routing table
3. Look up trigger β find target skill
4. MUST call skill tool to load target skill
5. Follow loaded skill instructions
Fallback Policies
| Condition | Action | Message |
|---|---|---|
bd unavailable |
HALT | β Cannot proceed: bd CLI required |
conductor/ missing |
DEGRADE | β οΈ Standalone mode - limited features |
| Agent Mail unavailable | HALT | β Cannot proceed: Agent Mail required for coordination |
