AEM Cloud Service Dispatcher

Route user requests to the appropriate specialist skill based on intent.

Intent Router

User Intent	Skill	Path
Create, modify, review, or harden dispatcher config files (.any, vhost, rewrite, cache, filter)	Config Authoring	config-authoring/SKILL.md
Conceptual questions (statfileslevel, filter rules, URL decomposition, cache invalidation, rewrite behavior, security headers)	Technical Advisory	technical-advisory/SKILL.md
Investigate runtime incidents, failures, probe regressions, or cache anomalies	Incident Response	incident-response/SKILL.md
Optimize cache efficiency, latency, and throughput	Performance Tuning	performance-tuning/SKILL.md
Security audit, threat model, exposure control, header hardening	Security Hardening	security-hardening/SKILL.md
End-to-end lifecycle (design → implement → validate → release → incident) or requests spanning multiple concerns	Workflow Orchestrator	workflow-orchestrator/SKILL.md

How to Use

1. Match the user's request to one row in the Intent Router table above.
2. Read the linked SKILL.md for that specialist skill.
3. Follow the workflow, references, and output contract defined in that skill.
4. For broad or ambiguous requests that span multiple concerns, use the Workflow Orchestrator which coordinates across all specialist skills.

MCP Tool Contract

All specialist skills share the same core-7 MCP tool set:

• validate — static config validation
• lint — deep/order-aware linting
• sdk — SDK check-files and diff-baseline
• trace_request — trace a request through dispatcher
• inspect_cache — inspect cache state
• monitor_metrics — runtime metrics
• tail_logs — log tailing

Specialist Skills

• config-authoring/SKILL.md — config file design, edits, and validation
• technical-advisory/SKILL.md — policy, documentation, cloud guardrails, and evidence planning
• incident-response/SKILL.md — runtime incident triage and remediation
• performance-tuning/SKILL.md — cache and throughput optimization
• security-hardening/SKILL.md — security audit and hardening
• workflow-orchestrator/SKILL.md — full lifecycle orchestration across all skills
