Workflow Routing and Skill Catalog

Use this sub-skill when the user asks which ARIS skill to run, how W1-W6 connect, what effort or assurance means, how skill groups are selected, how Codex mirrors differ from mainline skills, or where ARIS artifacts flow between workflows.

Route Here

• Pick the right ARIS workflow for a research direction, experiment plan, review loop, paper draft, rebuttal, resubmission, talk, patent task, or utility task.
• Explain the common parameter axes: effort, assurance, reviewer, GPU backend, human checkpoints, and auto-proceed behavior.
• Diagnose why a workflow stopped because a required artifact is missing.
• Decide whether to invoke an orchestrator or a leaf skill.
• Maintain a user's minimal install set by mapping tasks to skill groups.

Reroute

• Installation mechanics, manifests, or skill-link failures: ../install-and-distribution/SKILL.md.
• Reviewer/backend setup or cross-model review correctness: ../review-and-provider-backends/SKILL.md.
• Research Wiki, session recovery, or watchdog state: ../state-recovery-and-experiment-ops/SKILL.md.
• Source edits to skill catalog, mirrors, or tests: ../repository-maintenance/SKILL.md.

Fast Routing

• New research direction -> W1 /idea-discovery or full /research-pipeline.
• Existing experiment plan -> W1.5 /experiment-bridge.
• Existing paper/results needing iterative critique -> W2 /auto-review-loop or a reviewer variant.
• Narrative report ready for manuscript -> W3 /paper-writing.
• Reviews received -> W4 /rebuttal.
• Rejected paper to a new venue under no-new-experiment constraints -> W5 /resubmit-pipeline.
• Accepted paper to presentation -> W6 /paper-talk.
• Single utility need -> route directly to the leaf skill group instead of the whole orchestrator.

Reference Map

• references/workflow-map.md lists W1-W6, core artifacts, and when to use each path.
• references/skill-groups.md summarizes the catalog groups and representative skills.
• references/troubleshooting.md covers missing artifacts, over-broad workflows, group selection issues, and same-family review caveats.
• Root ../../references/capability-map.md maps all major ARIS surfaces to sub-skills.

Important Distinctions

• effort controls breadth/depth/budget; assurance controls audit strictness. They are independent.
• At high assurance, audit gates may block a final report even if drafting succeeded.
• Codex base mirrors are useful for Codex execution but same-family review must be labeled provisional unless an independent gate is configured.
• HTML reports are readable views; Markdown/JSON artifacts remain canonical.
