What Skill Router does

Skill Router scans the active repository to identify stack and workflow signals, then recommends a capped set of skills, agents, and MCP servers. It also suggests unloads for helpers that no longer fit after confirmation.

Skill Router is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Skill Router comes from a repository tagged agents, ai-agents, anthropic, automation and claude.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Skill Router

Scan a repo. Know what the current work needs. Recommend only that. Keep the wiki and graph as the durable catalog behind the decision.

Scope

The router manages runtime recommendations for:

skills
agents
MCP servers

Harnesses are separate catalog entities. They are recommended when a user wants to run ctx with a non-Claude-Code host, local model, API model, or external loop adapter. Once attached, the harness calls the same skills/agents/MCP recommendation engine.

Problem

Every loaded helper costs tokens, attention, and operational surface area. Most sessions need a small top-scored bundle from the shipped graph, not every entity ctx knows about. Loading too much:

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
