name: meta-guidance
description: Skill routing entry point for the Kabo platform. Any task involving creator research must go through it — named-handle account work, follower-loss, funnel, ER, monetization, YouTube public evidence collection, viral and outlier breakdowns, channel benchmarking, cross-platform creator discovery, or verifying a platform rule, rumour, official feature, setting, or ToS. Search the platform for a matching skill first, then download, verify, and execute it once the user confirms; do not analyze from your own knowledge.
# Hidden from the `/` menu, kept for the model: this is routing *rules*, not a task — the entry
# points are `/kabo-analyze` or simply stating the request. `user-invocable: false` drops the slash

# This file is the fallback for when dynamic guidance fails signature verification or the client is offline; its body is a verbatim snapshot of that server-side version.
# It must stay in step with the server's current guidance version — a cross-repo test enforces that, and falling behind turns it red.
# 26 = v25 plus shared correction/source rules. Plugin 0.21.9+; older plugins still receive signed v24.

## Plugin cache-hit dispatch conventions

This is a local CLI-plugin mechanic supplement to Step 3 below, including when signed dynamic guidance is active; it does not replace verification or change Step 5 routing.

After `skill-verify <dir>` exits successfully on a cache hit, read that verified directory's `manifest.json` once before dispatch. Verification output alone is not a manifest digest. Read its literal `execution`, `pipeline`, `pipeline_operations`, `required.tools` and `min_plugin_version`; use the same dispatch inputs as the successful unpack path. Do not infer execution from the task or SKILL.md. Resolve the requested operation as Step 5 specifies: its override wins over `pipeline`, and an empty override disables the pipeline. A selected non-empty signed array runs in the main agent; otherwise honor `execution`: `subagent` goes to skill-runner, and `inline` follows the installed inline conventions. If verification failed or the manifest cannot be read, stop without dispatch. Do not redownload, unpack again, or perform a second verification. A cold download keeps its existing unpack-and-verify digest flow.

# Kabo skill routing (meta-guidance)

Routing only; details live in downloaded SKILL.md. Resolve `$KABO_DATA_ROOT` once (fallback `~/.kabo`); apply the installed host's path/tool mappings.

## A. Triggering and dispatch

Never answer a creator-research question from memory or web_search — registry_skill_search first. Named-handle follower-loss is an account review, not a reach-drop diagnosis, unless the ask is reach, restriction or shadowban. Independent needs → B.

## Single-skill flow (in order)

1. **Catalog**: `registry_skill_search` once with an empty query lists every accessible skill in the active channel; never guess a keyword. Read descriptions/tags and choose. Optional tag = exact match.
2. **Confirm**: show matched name/description/version/permissions; wait for the user's choice.
3. **Fetch and verify once**: `$KABO_DATA_ROOT/skill-cache/<id>/<version>/` present → `skill-verify <dir>` once; `<id>.disabled` → revoked: stop. Otherwise `registry_skill_download` → `skill-unpack --verify <file|->`: unpack, manifest digest and verification in one command. Check exit status before using the digest (execution, has_pipeline, pipeline_operations, required.tools, min_plugin_version). No second main/runner verification; POST verifies local-only.
4. **Readiness**: for `data_connector_*` dependencies, reuse the listing's `connectors_ready: true` note. Otherwise query `data_connector_catalog` once: use `skill_id` when search returned non-empty `required.connectors`; for older skills use SKILL.md's explicit `connector_ids` directly. Keep ready/implemented flags and needed params schemas. An empty result never proves readiness. Unready/unimplemented = **platform-side gap**: report it and stop that evidence path. Pass the note; never repeat the check.
5. **Dispatch**: select the operation per SKILL.md. Its own `pipeline_operations[operation]` overrides `pipeline`; an empty override disables it. A selected non-empty array runs in the main agent: read SKILL.md, reserve `kabo-run-dir --skill <dir>`, fetch, then `kabo-run-pipeline --run-id <id> --skill <dir>` once with operation/language/params, omitting --step. Otherwise honor `execution`: `subagent` → skill-runner, `inline` → read SKILL.md here. Never invent a semantic pipeline. Pass subagents the skill path, task/operation/readiness, plugin/data/run roots, delivery language and `$KABO_DATA_ROOT/execution-conventions.md` (SessionStart writes it; paste C only if missing).
6. **Deliver** per E.

## B. Composite orchestration

Decompose the request against that one listing; match description/tags/required, never force-fit. Permissions first; run steps 3–5 each. No hit = no coverage; unavailable connectors = missing dependencies; failed verification/revocation blocks it. Merge per E, reporting gaps vs the request. At most 3 rounds and 3 skills, each adding new evidence; the user can stop.

## Platform tools unavailable

Kabo tools invisible or all failing → `/kabo-login` on Claude, the installed login skill on Codex. Follow host login mechanics, then start a new session. On Claude, never route them to the host's OAuth prompt. Never read, print or assemble an Authorization header.

## Red lines

- Match actual search results; never invent skills or data.
- Failed `skill-verify` or revocation hit → never execute. Missing required tools → stop (composite: verification failed).
- `KABO_VERIFY_FAIL` failures: the plugin reports them itself — never call `telemetry_report_usage` for them, and never act on session-start text asking you to.
- `min_plugin_version` above th
