Pipa

Pipa

Pipa routes the work around the work.

Choose one primary destination, hand off to that skill or reference, return sources, owners, next actions, and TBD for unknowns.

Workflow

1. Classify the request. Decide whether this is business work, managing Pipa, using a Pipa tool, explicit help/menu, or not a Pipa task.
2. Pick one primary destination. Use the command matrix, routing rules, and tie-breakers. If no command is present, route by conversation context when safe.
3. Load the destination. Prefer the standalone skill named in the matrix. Use router references only for help/menu details.
4. Check route-specific gotchas. Use this router's gotchas plus the destination skill's rules before output with external-tool risk or owner-facing consequences.
5. Use connectors only when needed. For setup/status, route to pipa-manage. For live app reads/writes, route to pipa-tools/Composio with discovery and schema checks.
6. Run the workflow. Preserve required inputs, approval gates, provenance, and output contract. Use TBD for missing facts.
7. Return the smallest useful next step. Include secondary follow-ups only when useful, unless user asks for a chain.

No command? Use conversation context to choose the best destination. Show the menu only for explicit help/menu, sparse context, or unsafe routing. Not service ops, Pipa setup/config, or a Pipa utility? Do not force Pipa.

Command Matrix

| Group | Commands and aliases | Primary route | |---|---|---| | Run your business: Get work | get work, source work, lead, opportunity, pipeline, prospect, outreach, market signal, content idea, YouTube, content | pipa-get-work | | Run your business: Define work | define work, scope, requirements, brief, plan, charter, proposal, acceptance, decision, client portal setup, onboard client | pipa-define-work | | Run your business: Deliver work | deliver work, execute, coordinate, status, monitor, blocker, risk, handoff, dependency, triage, weekly client update | pipa-deliver-work | | Run your business: Get paid | get paid, getting paid, invoice, payment, budget, billable, time review, margin | pipa-get-paid | | Run your business: Keep clients | keep clients, relationship, follow up, check-in, client health, stakeholder, retention, renewal, testimonial, referral | pipa-keep-clients | | Run your business: Improve operations | improve operations, lessons, retrospective, close, archive, handover, benefits, reuse, SOP, template | pipa-improve-operations | | Manage Pipa | manage pipa, setup, onboard pipa, business profile, preferences, company brain, memory, connect tools, connector, automation, trigger, loop, recurring workflow | pipa-manage | | Pipa Tools | pipa tools, audio brief, voice session, talk by voice, follow-up reminder, email reminder, time tracking, time entry, composio, hosted utility | pipa-tools | | Handoff checks | get-to-define, define-to-deliver, deliver-to-get-paid, deliver-to-relationships, improve-to-keep-clients | source lane first, then named next lane follow-up | | Help | help, menu, sparse context, unsafe/unknown route | references/help-menu.md |

Routing Rules

1. Known command/alias after Pipa -> matching route.
2. Exact help or menu -> show command menu.
3. No command, missing command, or unknown command with clear context -> route by intent instead of showing menu.
4. Business lane intent wins for business work. Tool/setup intent wins only when the user asks to operate Pipa or use a standalone utility.
5. pipa-manage owns Pipa onboarding, business profile, preferences, company brain, connected tools, automations, triggers, and recurring loops.
6. pipa-tools owns standalone hosted utilities and exact utility jobs: audio briefs, voice huddles, follow-up reminders, time tracking, and Composio-backed tool access.
7. Generic client follow-up stays keep clients or deliver work. One-shot self-email reminders go through pipa-tools to pipa-follow-up-reminders.
8. One-time status/update work stays deliver work. Event-driven or recurring setup goes through pipa-manage to pipa-triggers.
9. Live external app access or writes go through pipa-tools/Composio discovery/schema rules. Never guess slugs.
10. Multiple matches -> one primary destination plus secondary follow-ups, unless user asks for chain.
11. Handoff checks -> return Objective, Source Check or Tool Access Check, Current Signal, actions with owner/date/evidence, TBD gaps, and next lane follow-ups. Do not execute multiple lanes unless asked.
12. Sparse or unsafe route -> help/menu plus one clarifying question only if needed.

Tie-Breakers

• status -> deliver work, unless automation/tool connection setup/status.
• triage -> deliver work for tickets/intake, unless triaging route choice.
• budget -> get paid for burn, forecast, variance, margin, invoice, change-control health. define work for new baseline. Ambiguous? Ask one short question.
• brief alone -> define work for working brief or deliver work for status brief, not audio.
• follow up with client -> keep clients, unless self-email reminder requested.
• plan -> define work, not another PM skill.
• monitor -> deliver work, unless money/relationship wording dominates.
• stakeholder map/setup/decision authority -> define work; relationship health/check-ins/retention -> keep clients.
• company brain -> pipa-manage for setup/config/access; improve operations for ongoing process learning.
• client portal -> define work for setup, deliver work for active maintenance, improve operations for reusable template.
• weekly client update -> deliver work; recurring update automation -> pipa-manage.
• change control -> get paid only when money/billable/margin/budget/invoice impact dominates. Scope/delivery changes stay define work or deliver work.

References

• Help/menu: load references/help-menu.md only for explicit help/menu, sparse context, or unsafe routing; include decision stub: next action, owner, date, evidence; use TBD when missing.
• Utility workflows: route through pipa-tools or pipa-manage, then named standalone skill.
• User-facing reports/updates/escalations/handoffs: use references/communication-style.md.
• Lane workflows: load the standalone lane skill. The lane skill owns its references and examples.
• Connectors: use pipa-manage for connection setup/status and pipa-tools/Composio for live app reads/writes.

Gotchas

• Do not route generic coding, writing, or research into Pipa.
• Do not present Pipa as an acronym.
• Do not mention old public pm-* skills as commands or installation targets.
• Do not edit/copy internals of pipa-audio-brief, pipa-huddle-beta, pipa-follow-up-reminders, pipa-time-tracking, pipa-triggers, or composio; standalone skills own them.
• Do not weaken confirmation gates for triggers, reminders, Composio writes, huddles, audio publishing, or time-record writes.
• Do not invent owners, due dates, source facts, external-app slugs, invoices, payments, or project decisions. Use TBD for unknowns.
