<!-- The Flowy engine supplies the universal contract (announce ritual, invoke/READ,
host-wins, post-compaction re-read). This file carries only the routing. -->
## Routing
**The rule:** when a trigger matches you INVOKE the named skill BEFORE doing the task yourself. Writing the code, patching the bug, or claiming "done" without first invoking is the failure this Flow exists to stop.
```
USER MESSAGE
├─ session start / first message? → invoke using-superpowers (bootstrap once)
├─ new idea / feature / project? → invoke brainstorming gate: approved design doc
├─ design exists, no plan? → invoke writing-plans gate: checkboxed tasks, approved
├─ plan has unchecked tasks?
│ ├─ 3+ independent tasks? → invoke subagent-driven-development
