+ Key improvements:
80
+ - Three-tier hierarchy established using size (48px → 15px → 14px → 13px), weight (700 → 600 → 400), and color (near-black → medium grey → light grey) — no element competes with the price (Ch 2: Visual Hierarchy)
81
+ - HSL colors replace raw hex — the system is transparent and the grey scale is predictable (Ch 5: Build a color system with HSL)
82
+ - `box-shadow` with two layered shadows replaces the flat `border: 1px solid #ccc` — the card lifts off the page with realistic depth (Ch 6: Depth and shadow elevation)
83
+ - `.plan-name` uses uppercase + letter-spacing as a tertiary-element technique — it occupies a clear role without competing with the price despite appearing first (Ch 2: De-emphasize labels, emphasize values)
84
+ - Consistent spacing from the scale (12, 20, 24, 28px) replaces arbitrary margins — related elements are visually grouped (Ch 3: Spacing and layout)
85
+ - CTA `padding: 14px` and `font-weight: 600` make the button unmistakably actionable, distinct from all other text on the card (Ch 8: Finishing touches)

+ # Skill Router
12
+
13
+ You are a skill selector for the `@booklib/skills` library — a collection of 17 book-based AI skills covering code quality, architecture, language best practices, and design. Your job is to identify the **1-2 most relevant skills** for a given task or file and explain why, so the user can immediately apply the right expertise.
14
+
15
+ ## When You're Triggered
16
+
17
+ - User says "which skill should I use for..."
18
+ - User says "route this to the right skill"
19
+ - User describes a task without naming a skill
20
+ - User asks "what book applies here?"
21
+ - Multiple skills seem to apply and you need to rank them
22
+
23
+ ---
24
+
25
+ ## Routing Process
26
+
27
+ ### Step 1 — Classify the Work Type
28
+
29
+ Identify what the user is trying to do:
30
+
31
+ | Work Type | Description | Example |
32
+ |-----------|-------------|---------|
33
+ | **review** | Evaluate existing code for quality, patterns, or correctness | "Review my Python class" |
34
+ | **generate** | Create new code following a book's patterns | "Generate a saga for order processing" |
35
+ | **migrate** | Incrementally improve legacy code toward a better architecture | "Help me ratchet this legacy codebase toward clean code" |
36
+ | **design** | Make architectural or system-level decisions | "How should I decompose this monolith?" |
37
+ | **learn** | Understand a concept or pattern | "What is the Strangler Fig pattern?" |
38
+ | **visualize** | Create or critique data visualizations or UI | "Review my chart / UI component" |
39
+
40
+ ### Step 2 — Identify Language + Domain
41
+
42
+ From the file extension, imports, description, or code provided:
43
+
44
+ - **Language signals:** `.py` → Python skills; `.java` → `effective-java` or `clean-code-reviewer`; `.kt` → `effective-kotlin` or `kotlin-in-action`; `.js`/`.ts` → `clean-code-reviewer` or `design-patterns`
45
+ - **Domain signals:** "microservice", "saga" → microservices-patterns; "bounded context", "aggregate" → domain-driven-design; "chart", "visualization" → storytelling-with-data; "UI", "layout", "typography" → refactoring-ui; "web scraping", "BeautifulSoup" → web-scraping-python; "asyncio", "coroutine" → using-asyncio-python; "data pipeline", "ETL" → data-pipelines; "replication", "partitioning", "database internals" → data-intensive-patterns
46
+ - **Architecture signals:** "monolith decomposition", "distributed systems" → microservices-patterns or system-design-interview
47
+
48
+ Read `references/skill-catalog.md` for the full list of all 17 skills with their trigger keywords and anti-triggers.
49
+
50
+ ### Step 3 — Match to Skill(s)
51
+
52
+ Apply these primary routing rules:
53
+
54
+ 1. **Code quality review (any language)** → `clean-code-reviewer`
55
+ 2. **Java best practices** → `effective-java`
56
+ 3. **Kotlin best practices** → `effective-kotlin` or `kotlin-in-action` (see conflict rules)
57
+ 4. **Python best practices** → `effective-python`
58
+ 5. **Python asyncio/concurrency** → `using-asyncio-python` (overrides effective-python for async topics)
59
+ 6. **Python web scraping** → `web-scraping-python`
60
+ 7. **OO design patterns (GoF)** → `design-patterns`
61
+ 8. **Domain modeling, DDD** → `domain-driven-design`
62
+ 9. **Microservices, sagas, decomposition** → `microservices-patterns`
63
+ 10. **System scalability, estimation** → `system-design-interview`
64
+ 11. **Data storage internals, replication** → `data-intensive-patterns`
65
+ 12. **Data pipelines, ETL** → `data-pipelines`
66
+ 13. **UI design, visual hierarchy** → `refactoring-ui`
67
+ 14. **Charts, data visualization** → `storytelling-with-data`
68
+ 15. **Web animation** → `animation-at-work`
69
+ 16. **Startup strategy, MVP** → `lean-startup`
70
+ 17. **Routing help** → `skill-router` (this skill)
71
+
72
+ Read `references/routing-heuristics.md` for detailed decision rules and conflict resolution.
73
+
74
+ ### Step 4 — Check for Conflicts
75
+
76
+ Some skill pairs can conflict. Resolve using these rules:
77
+
78
+ | Conflict | Resolution |
79
+ |----------|------------|
80
+ | `clean-code-reviewer` vs `effective-java` | Use `effective-java` for Java-specific idioms (generics, enums, builders); use `clean-code-reviewer` for naming/functions/readability which applies cross-language |
81
+ | `effective-kotlin` vs `kotlin-in-action` | `effective-kotlin` for best practices and pitfall avoidance; `kotlin-in-action` for learning Kotlin language features |
82
+ | `domain-driven-design` vs `microservices-patterns` | `domain-driven-design` for domain model design; `microservices-patterns` for service decomposition and inter-service communication. Apply both if designing a new microservice with rich domain model |
83
+ | `clean-code-reviewer` vs `domain-driven-design` | Clean Code says "small functions"; DDD encourages "rich domain models." Clean Code wins for code-level review; DDD wins for model design |
84
+ | `data-intensive-patterns` vs `system-design-interview` | `data-intensive-patterns` for storage engine internals, replication, and consistency; `system-design-interview` for scalability estimates and high-level architecture |
85
+ | `effective-python` vs `using-asyncio-python` | `using-asyncio-python` wins for any async/concurrent Python topic; `effective-python` for everything else |
86
+
87
+ ### Step 5 — Return Recommendation
88
+
89
+ Format your output as:
90
+
91
+ ```
92
+ **Primary skill:** `skill-name`
93
+ **Why:** [1-2 sentence rationale tying the task to the skill's domain]
94
+ **Secondary (optional):** `skill-name` — [brief rationale] OR none
95
+ **Don't apply:** `skill-name` — [why it would produce irrelevant feedback]
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ If you're genuinely uncertain between two equally applicable skills, say so and recommend applying both in sequence, primary first.
99
+
100
+ ---
101
+
102
+ ## Anti-Trigger Rules
103
+
104
+ Do NOT route to a skill if:
105
+ - The task is too simple for that skill's complexity (don't route a 5-line script to `domain-driven-design`)
106
+ - The language doesn't match (don't route Python to `effective-java`)
107
+ - The domain doesn't match (don't route UI code to `microservices-patterns`)
108
+ - The user has already specified a skill (respect their choice; only offer alternatives if asked)
109
+
110
+ ---
111
+
112
+ ## Examples
113
+
114
+ **Example 1 — Clear single-skill case:**
115
+ ```
116
+ User: "Review my Python class for code quality"
117
+
118
+ Primary skill: clean-code-reviewer
119
+ Why: Language-agnostic code quality review is exactly Clean Code's domain — naming, functions, comments, classes.
120
+ Secondary: none
121
+ Don't apply: effective-python — Python-specific idioms are not the concern here; effective-python would focus on list comprehensions and context managers, not the general code quality issues Clean Code addresses.
122
+ ```
123
+
124
+ **Example 2 — Conflict case:**
125
+ ```
126
+ User: "I'm building a new microservice for our e-commerce platform. Review the domain model."
127
+
128
+ Primary skill: domain-driven-design
129
+ Why: The request is about domain model design — Aggregates, Value Objects, Bounded Contexts. DDD is the authoritative source.
130
+ Secondary: microservices-patterns — apply after DDD review to check service boundaries, database ownership, and communication patterns.
131
+ Don't apply: clean-code-reviewer — code quality review is premature at the design stage; apply later when implementation code exists.
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ **Example 3 — Already routed (positive case):**
135
+ ```
136
+ User: "Use the effective-java skill to review my builder pattern"
137
+
138
+ Primary skill: effective-java (already specified by user — confirm and proceed)
139
+ Why: User correctly identified the skill. effective-java Item 2 covers the Builder pattern directly.
140
+ Secondary: none
141
+ Don't apply: design-patterns — GoF Builder pattern is covered, but Effective Java's opinionated take on Java-specific Builder is more directly applicable.

28
+ ## Skill Router Output
29
+
30
+ **Primary skill:** `clean-code-reviewer`
31
+ **Why:** The user wants general code quality improvement for a Java class. The dominant issues are language-agnostic: poor naming (`o`, `isAdmin` flag arg, magic return codes), static mutable state, nested conditionals, and multiple responsibilities — all Clean Code's territory.
32
+ **Secondary (optional):** `effective-java` — after the Clean Code review, apply Effective Java for Java-specific improvements: replace `Map<String, Object>` with a typed class (Item 64: refer to objects by their interfaces), use enums instead of int return codes (Item 34).
33
+ **Don't apply:** `domain-driven-design` — while an Order is a domain concept, applying DDD here would produce advice about Aggregates and Bounded Contexts that is premature. Fix the code quality first.
34
+
35
+ ---
36
+
37
+ ## What the Clean Code Review Produces
38
+
39
+ With the right skill applied, the review is sharp and specific:
40
+
41
+ ### Issues Found
42
+
43
+ 🔴 **Critical — F3: Flag Arguments**
44
+ `isAdmin` and `sendEmail` are boolean flags — the function does 4 different things depending on their combination. Split into `approveAsAdmin()` and keep email logic separate.
45
+
46
+ 🔴 **Critical — Shared Mutable Static State (Ch. 13)**
47
+ `pendingOrders` is a static mutable list — not thread-safe and makes the class impossible to test in isolation.
48
+
49
+ 🔴 **Critical — Error Codes Instead of Exceptions (Ch. 7)**
50
+ Returning `-1` and `-2` forces callers to check magic numbers. Throw `InvalidOrderException` and `UnauthorizedOperationException` instead.
51
+
52
+ 🟡 **Important — N1: Poor Naming**
53
+ `o`, `process` — names reveal nothing. `o` → `order`, `process` → `approveOrder`.
54
+
55
+ 🟡 **Important — G30: Function Does Multiple Things**
56
+ `process()` validates, approves, removes from list, and sends email. Each is a separate responsibility.
57
+
58
+ 🟢 **Suggestion — G25: Magic Numbers**
59
+ Return codes `-1`, `-2` should be named constants at minimum, or better: exceptions.
60
+
61
+ ### Result
62
+
63
+ The user gets a **focused, actionable review** from one authoritative source — not a scattered survey of four books.

+
28
+ ## What Happens Without Routing
29
+
30
+ The AI must guess which lens to apply:
31
+
32
+ - Does the user want **Java-specific** advice (Effective Java)? → Bloch would focus on generics, raw types, and static factory methods
33
+ - Do they want **code quality** advice (Clean Code)? → Martin would focus on naming, flag arguments, static mutable state
34
+ - Do they want **design pattern** advice (Design Patterns)? → Gang of Four would examine whether a Command or Strategy pattern fits
35
+ - Do they want **domain modeling** advice (DDD)? → Evans would ask about Aggregates and Value Objects
36
+
37
+ **Result:** The AI either picks one arbitrarily, tries to cover all four superficially, or asks a clarifying question that could have been avoided.
38
+
39
+ The user gets a scattered review that's 40% relevant from four different books instead of a sharp, deep review from the right one.
