About intelligence-route
A routing skill that selects an agent and model tier for a task using learned patterns and predictions. It is intended for teams delegating non-trivial work and provides an auditable rationale; recorded outcomes help train the router.
Key features
- 01Recommend an agent
- 02Recommend a model tier
- 03Search similar past patterns
- 04Predict outcomes with confidence
- 05Explain routing rationale
- 06Record outcomes to train the router
Use cases
- 01Select an agent before complex work
- 02Choose a model tier by task complexity
- 03Review and improve routing decisions
MCP support
It uses Ruflo hooks for agent and model routing, pattern search, prediction, explanations, and outcome recording. Routing commands are also available through @claude-flow/cli.
Install
Copy the command and run it in a terminal.
npx skills add https:/ / github.com/ ruvnet/ ruflo --skill intelligence-routeAfter installing, type/intelligence-routein Claude Code to confirm it loaded.
Details
From the project READMEIntelligence Routing
Pick the optimal agent + model tier for a task using learned patterns + the 3-tier router. Emits a hooks_explain rationale so the choice is auditable.
When to use
Before starting any non-trivial task. Replaces manual agent selection with data-driven decisions.
Steps
- Get an agent recommendation —
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_routewith the task description. Returns{ recommended, confidence, reasoning }. - Get a model tier recommendation —
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_model-routefor Haiku/Sonnet/Opus selection. - Search for similar past patterns —
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_intelligence_pattern-searchto find prior successes. - Predict outcome —
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__neural_predictwith the task description for a confidence-scored prediction. - Spawn the recommended agent at the recommended model tier.
- (If
--whywas passed) — callmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_explainto surface the routing rationale to the user. - After task completes — call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_model-outcomewithsuccess: true|falseto train the router.
3-Tier Model Routing
| Tier | Handler | Latency | Cost | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Deterministic codemod (TS compiler) | ~1ms | $0 | Structural transforms with no LLM: var-to-const, remove-console, add-logging |
| 2 | Haiku | ~500ms | ~$0.0002 | Low complexity (<30%), bug fixes, quick patches |
| 3 | Sonnet/Opus | 2–5s | $0.003–$0.015 | Complex reasoning, architecture, security, multi-file refactors |
When hooks_route returns [CODEMOD_AVAILABLE] for a deterministic intent (var-to-const, remove-console, add-logging), call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_codemod with the intent + file — it applies the transform via the TypeScript compiler at $0, no LLM. Note: add-types, add-error-handling, async-await require judgement and route to a model (Tier 2/3) per ADR-143; they are NOT $0 codemods. Agent Booster is a fast-apply merge engine for LLM-produced edits, not the Tier-1 path.
Recording outcomes
Closing the routing loop is mandatory:
# Success
mcp tool call hooks_model-outcome --json -- '{"taskId": "T123", "success": true, "model": "haiku"}'
# Failure with reason
mcp tool call hooks_model-outcome --json -- '{"taskId": "T123", "success": false, "model": "haiku", "reason": "complexity-misjudged"}'
The router learns from these calls. Skipping them = no learning.
