Skill Details

SKILL.md

Use when any Maestro skill loads - provides skill hierarchy, HALT/DEGRADE policies, and trigger routing rules for orchestration decisions

Overview

# 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 → 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 → design.md → /conductor-newtrack → spec.md + plan.md → fb → tracking → ci/co/ca → implementation

```

Routing Table

CRITICAL: After loading maestro-core, you MUST explicitly load the target skill via skill(name="...") before proceeding.

See [routing-table.md](references/routing-table.md) for complete trigger → 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

```

User triggers command (e.g., ci)
Load maestro-core → get routing table
Look up trigger → find target skill
MUST call skill tool to load target skill
Follow loaded skill instructions

```

Fallback Policies

| Condition | Action | Message |

|-----------|--------|---------|

| bd unavailable | HALT | ❌ Cannot proceed: bd CLI required |

| conductor/ missing | DEGRADE | ⚠️ Standalone mode - limited features |

| Agent Mail unavailable | HALT | ❌ Cannot proceed: Agent Mail required for coordination |

Quick Reference

| Concern | Reference |

|---------|-----------|

| Complete workflow | [workflow-chain.md](references/workflow-chain.md) |

| All routing rules | [routing-table.md](references/routing-table.md) |

| Terms and concepts | [glossary.md](references/glossary.md) |

| CLI toolboxes | [toolboxes.md](references/toolboxes.md) |
