What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Choose the best automation layer across native connectors, Codex automations, MCP tools, Make.com scenarios, n8n workflows, and Starlight swarm queues. Use when a user asks which tool to use, how to automate a workflow, whether Make or n8n is better, how MCP should fit, how future agents should remember tool choices, or how to route recurring work safely.

Automation Tool Router
Use this first when the work is about automation architecture or tool choice. Return a concrete owner, not a vague stack.
Routing Order
- Use the native connector when one exists for the target system.
- Use Codex automation for recurring reasoning, review, repo, inbox, or briefing work.
- Use MCP when an agent needs a typed, bounded tool or resource.
- Use Make.com for fast SaaS glue, forms, CRM updates, and simple approval chains.
- Use n8n for branchy technical workflows, private data flows, reusable templates, and self-hostable automation.
- Use a Starlight queue for cross-repo, multi-agent, eval-heavy, or handoff-heavy work.
Safety Gates
- Require human approval before send, post, spend, delete, publish, invite, production deploy, or account-permission changes.
- Dry-run first for migrations, workflow activation, bulk edits, and storage cleanup.
- Fail closed on auth, schema, transport, webhook, or confidence errors.
- Never print or commit secrets, live webhook URLs, customer data, inbox content, or private memory.
- Public exports must use mock payloads and pass a sensitive-marker scan.
Decision Output
Return:
- tool owner
- why this tool wins
- fallback tool
- trigger/input
- output contract
- approval gate
- validation step
- where durable state belongs
Reference Routing
- For Make.com scenario design, use
make-com-operations. - For n8n workflow design or exported workflow review, use
n8n-operations. - For MCP scopes, tool schemas, and server boundaries, use
mcp-governance. - For recurring scheduled work in Codex, use
codex-automation-operator. - For multi-agent queues and handoffs, use
starlight-queen-queue.
Verification
For public artifacts, run scripts/scan_public_safety.py from the source repo
when available. For installable bundles, run scripts/validate_skill_bundle.py.
