Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Short, explicit alias for vc-router. Use only when the user explicitly invokes `use vcg:` and wants the shortest reliable router command.

Key capabilities

  • Classify tasks in one pass
  • Select a single best-fit skill
  • Execute tasks immediately
  • Spawn sub-agents for large or ambiguous requests
  • Determine scope roots for file searches

How it works

The skill acts as an entry point for task routing, classifying the task, selecting a single best-fit skill, and executing it immediately. It can also spawn sub-agents for complex requests and determines scope roots for file operations.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
A user goal invoked with `use vcg: <goal>`
You get back
An executed task, or a request for the user to rephrase the invocation

When to use vcg

  • Routing tasks to relevant sub-agents
  • Quickly invoking core router commands
  • Parallelizing large repo analysis tasks

About this skill

VCG (VC Go Alias)

VC Defaults

  • Prefer fast iteration and shipping a working baseline over perfection.
  • Make safe default choices without pausing; record assumptions briefly.
  • Ask questions only after delivering an initial result, unless the workflow requires confirmation for safety/legal reasons.
  • Keep outputs concise, actionable, and easy to extend.
  • Assume the user is non-technical; avoid long explanations and provide copy/paste steps when actions are required.
  • Treat non-explicit triggers (e.g., "vc go") as normal text; ask the user to rephrase using use vcg:.

VC Fast Path

  • Classify the task in one pass.
  • Select a single best-fit skill; avoid chaining unless required.
  • Execute immediately; collect assumptions and questions for the end.
  • If the task is multi-step or open-ended, default to a finish-style workflow.

Sub-Agent Assist (Optional)

If the request is large/ambiguous and collaboration tools are available, spawn 1–2 sub-agents to parallelize:

  • Repo scan (recommended preset: explorer, within scope roots): locate relevant files/config and constraints
  • Risk/validation scan (recommended preset: worker): test strategy, edge cases, safety concerns

Rules:

  • Timebox and keep outputs short.
  • Sub-agents report findings only; main agent decides routing and applies changes.
  • Use send_input with interrupt if an agent goes off-track; always close_agent when done.

VC Quick Invoke

  • use vcg: <goal>

Scope Lock (Required)

  • Before any file search, determine scope roots:
    1. If a .vc-scope file exists in the current directory or any parent, use the closest one.
      • Each non-empty, non-comment line is an allowed path.
      • Relative paths are resolved from the .vc-scope file directory.
    2. Else, if inside a git repo, use the repo root.
    3. Else, use the current working directory.
  • Only run rg, find, or any filesystem scans inside the scope roots.
  • Never scan $HOME or / unless the user explicitly asks.

Routing Rules

  • This repo intentionally ships only vc* skills.
  • Finish-to-end requests: route to vc-phase-loop.
  • Planning/execution loops: route to vc-phase-loop.
  • Everything else: route to vc-phase-loop as the safe default.

Execution Rules

  • Read only the selected skill's SKILL.md and follow its defaults.
  • Keep the user flow simple: deliver a first pass, then ask for corrections.
  • If uncertain between two skills, pick the one with narrower scope.
  • If the user did not explicitly invoke use vcg:, ask them to rephrase using use vcg: and stop.

When not to use it

  • When the user does not explicitly invoke `use vcg:`
  • When the user expects long explanations
  • When the user expects chaining of skills unless required

Limitations

  • The skill only activates when explicitly invoked with `use vcg:`.
  • The skill defaults to a finish-style workflow for multi-step or open-ended tasks.
  • The skill only runs filesystem scans inside defined scope roots.

How it compares

This skill prioritizes fast iteration and shipping a working baseline by making safe default choices and executing immediately, differing from approaches that prioritize perfection or extensive questioning upfront.
