How to stop an agent from guessing past an irreversible step with Intent Router

Make the skill halt and name the field when an inferred value touches an irreversible boundary.

Who it is forAn engineer who runs agents on tasks with destructive or hard-to-undo actions and needs a stop before the agent commits.

The problemAgents tend to pick a sensible default and keep going, so an irreversible action can happen on a value nobody confirmed.

The outcomeA HALT decision that names the unconfirmed field, so you can answer it before any routing happens.

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. Describe a task that includes a destructive or hard-to-undo action, leaving its target vague.
  3. Watch for a HALT decision that names the field instead of a routed plan.
  4. Answer the named field, then rerun the skill on the same request.
  5. Confirm the saved spec records the decision state before the work proceeds.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Intent-Router skill in this repo, process the request '<request>' and stop before routing if an inferred value touches an irreversible boundary. Expected output: a HALT decision that names the field to confirm. Verify that no routing or carrying out happened before you answered that field.

Caveat. The README describes the HALT behavior but does not list which actions count as irreversible, so check the named field before trusting the stop.
