Skill: Task Classifier

ultrathink - Take a deep breath. We're not here to write code. We're here to make a dent in the universe.

The Vision

Classification should make the path forward feel inevitable.

Your Work, Step by Step

1. Assess scope: Files, modules, and integrations.
2. Assess risk: Security, breakage, rollback.
3. Assess ambiguity: Unknowns and trade-offs.
4. Assign complexity: Recommend models and iterations.

Ultrathink Principles in Practice

• Think Different: Avoid defaulting to mid complexity.
• Obsess Over Details: Map true blast radius.
• Plan Like Da Vinci: Evaluate before judging.
• Craft, Don't Code: Keep reasoning concise.
• Iterate Relentlessly: Reclassify as scope changes.
• Simplify Ruthlessly: Choose the simplest valid path.

Purpose

Classify task complexity (1-10) to route to optimal model.

Complexity Matrix

Classification Criteria

Technical Factors

• Files affected (1 = trivial, 10+ = exceptional)
• Cross-module dependencies
• Database schema changes
• External API integrations

Risk Factors

• Security implications (auth, payments, data)
• Breaking change potential
• Rollback difficulty

Cognitive Factors

• Novel problem (no existing patterns)
• Ambiguity in requirements
• Trade-off decisions required

Output Format

{
  "complexity": 7,
  "reasoning": "Multi-file feature with database changes and auth integration",
  "recommended_model": "opus",
  "delegation": ["codex:security", "gemini:integration-tests"],
  "estimated_iterations": 12,
  "risk_level": "medium"
