How to turn a vague coding request into a checked spec with Intent Router

Convert a one-line request into an IntentSpec that the repo partly answers and you answer once.

Who it is forA developer who gets vague tasks like 'add caching to the user API' and wants a clear briefing before the agent writes code.

The problemA vague request makes the agent guess. The guess can rest on an assumption you never made, and the work gets thrown away.

The outcomeA saved IntentSpec in .intent/ or .intent.yaml that records the probed facts, the one question you answered, and whether the intent is settled.

What you need first

  • A coding agent where you can install a skill, using `npx skills add angel291592/Intent-Router` or the manual steps in Quick start
  • A repository the agent can read, since the skill probes the repo before asking anything
  • A vague request you want to turn into work, such as a refactor or a feature

Steps

  1. Install the skill with npx skills add angel291592/Intent-Router, or follow the manual steps in Quick start. (inferred, check the README)
  2. Give your agent the vague request in one sentence, in the same repo you want changed.
  3. Let the skill probe the repo first, then answer only the question the repo cannot answer.
  4. Open the saved file in .intent/ or .intent.yaml and check the probed fields and their evidence pointers.
  5. Confirm the spec state reads settled before you let the agent carry out the work.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Intent-Router skill in this repo, turn the request '<request>' into a typed IntentSpec. Probe the repo first and ask only the one question the repo cannot answer. Expected output: a saved IntentSpec file under .intent/ with evidence pointers and a state field. Verify that no probed field lacks an evidence pointer.

Caveat. The README says the skill reads your repo, ticket system or docs before asking, so the number of questions depends on what those sources already answer.
