Routing Brains Skill

Purpose

Route meeting items to appropriate Brain CLAUDE.md files:

  1. Discover Brains dynamically from Brains/ folder
  2. Match items using keyword and semantic scoring
  3. Handle unmatched content with user prompts (one at a time)

For product-specific context, see CLAUDE.local.md.


Brain Discovery Protocol

Step 1: Scan Brains Folder

CRITICAL: Never hardcode Brain names. Always discover dynamically.

1. List all subdirectories in /Brains/
2. For each subdirectory:
   a. Check if CLAUDE.md exists
   b. If yes, read and parse the file
   c. Extract keywords and context for matching
3. Build Brain registry with:
   - Brain name (folder name)
   - Core objective (from CLAUDE.md)
   - Key terms (extracted from all sections)
   - Status (Active/Paused/Completed)

Step 2: Extract Keywords

From each Brain's CLAUDE.md, extract:

Section What to Extract
Core Objective Main nouns, verbs, product names
Key Decisions Decision topics, technical terms
Documents Document names, feature names
Stakeholders Team names, product areas
Open Questions Problem domains, blockers

Step 3: Build Matching Index

Brain: "[Brain-name]"
Keywords: [relevant terms extracted]
Core Theme: "[one-line description]"
Status: Active

Matching Framework

Confidence Levels

Level Threshold Action
High >= 0.8 Auto-route to Brain
Medium 0.6 - 0.8 Route with [Review] flag
Low 0.4 - 0.6 Flag as potential, ask user
None < 0.4 Mark as unmatched

Matching Algorithm

For each meeting item:

  1. Keyword Match Score (0-0.5):

    • Count keyword overlaps with Brain keywords
    • Weight Core Objective keywords 2x
    • Normalize by total keywords
  2. Semantic Match Score (0-0.5):

    • Compare item theme to Brain Core Objective
    • Consider context (what problem is being solved?)
    • Factor in stakeholder mentions
  3. Combined Score: Keyword + Semantic

Multi-Brain Matching

Items CAN match multiple Brains if:

  • Score >= threshold for multiple Brains
  • Item explicitly mentions multiple workstreams
  • Action item affects multiple teams

Item Segmentation

Extract discrete items from meeting content:

Item Type How to Identify
Decision "We decided...", "Let's go with...", "The approach is..."
Action Item "I'll...", "Can you...", "[Name] will...", "TODO:"
Discussion Point Topic shifts, extended back-and-forth
Blocker "We can't proceed...", "Waiting on...", "Blocked by..."
Open Question "We need to figure out...", "TBD:", "?"
Status Update "Update on...", "Progress:", metrics discussion

Routing Protocol

Step 1: Match Each Item

For each item:
  1. Run matching algorithm
  2. If High confidence (>= 0.8) → Route to Brain
  3. If Medium confidence (0.6-0.8) → Route with [Review] flag
  4. If Low confidence (0.4-0.6) → Add to potential matches
  5. If No match (< 0.4) → Add to unmatched list

Step 2: Handle Multi-Brain Items

If item matches multiple Brains:

  1. Route to ALL matching Brains
  2. Note cross-Brain dependency
  3. Flag in both Brain summaries

Unmatched Content Handling

Sequential Questioning Protocol

CRITICAL: Ask ONE question at a time. Do not overwhelm the user.

Step 1: Announce count

I found [N] items that don't clearly match any existing Brain.
Let me walk through each one with you.

Step 2: Present FIRST item only

**Item 1 of [N]**: [Brief summary]

**Type**: [Decision/Action/Discussion/Blocker/Question]
**Content**: [Full item - 1-2 sentences]
**Context**: [Why this came up]
**Potential match**: [Brain] (low confidence) OR "No matching Brain"

What would you like to do?
a) Assign to [Brain 1]
b) Assign to [Brain 2]
c) Create a new Brain
d) Leave in temp folder
e) Discard (not relevant)

Step 3: Wait for response before continuing

Step 4: Proceed to next item

Got it - [acknowledge choice].
**Item 2 of [N]**: [Next summary]...

New Brain Creation (Guided)

If user chooses to create new Brain:

Step 1: "What should this Brain be called? (Suggested: '[name]')" → Wait for response

Step 2: "In one sentence, what's the core objective?" → Wait for response

Step 3: Create folder, generate CLAUDE.md, route item, confirm


Example Input

Items to route:
1. Decision: "Use React for dashboard migration"
2. Action: "Update API documentation before launch"
3. Discussion: "Potential partnership with external vendor"

Example Output

## Routing Results

### High Confidence Routes
- **Decision: React migration** → frontend-modernization (0.92)

### Medium Confidence Routes  
- **Action: API documentation** → api-platform (0.71) [Review]

### Unmatched Items
1 item requires user input:

**Item 1 of 1**: Partnership discussion
**Type**: Discussion Point
**Content**: Potential collaboration with external vendor
**Potential match**: No matching Brain

What would you like to do?
a) Assign to frontend-modernization
b) Assign to api-platform
c) Create a new Brain
d) Leave in temp folder
e) Discard

Quality Gates

  • Brains discovered dynamically (not hardcoded)
  • Each item categorized by type
  • Matching algorithm applied consistently
  • Multi-Brain items flagged
  • Confidence levels logged
  • Unmatched items presented one at a time

Anti-Patterns

  • ❌ Hardcoding Brain names
  • ❌ Force-matching items to Brains
  • ❌ Auto-routing low-confidence matches
  • ❌ Presenting all unmatched items at once
  • ❌ Proceeding before user responds
  • ✅ Always scan Brains/ folder fresh
  • ✅ Ask ONE question at a time
  • ✅ Wait for explicit confirmation

Success Criteria

  1. All Brains discovered dynamically
  2. Items routed with appropriate confidence
  3. Multi-Brain dependencies flagged
  4. Unmatched items handled with user input
  5. Ready for summarizing-meetings skill
