+- A) Add routing rules to CLAUDE.md (recommended)
+- B) No thanks, I'll invoke skills manually

+
+## Skill routing
+
+When the user's request matches an available skill, ALWAYS invoke it using the Skill
+tool as your FIRST action. Do NOT answer directly, do NOT use other tools first.
+The skill has specialized workflows that produce better results than ad-hoc answers.
+
+Key routing rules:
+- Product ideas, "is this worth building", brainstorming → invoke office-hours
+- Bugs, errors, "why is this broken", 500 errors → invoke investigate
+- Ship, deploy, push, create PR → invoke ship
+- QA, test the site, find bugs → invoke qa
+- Code review, check my diff → invoke review
+- Update docs after shipping → invoke document-release
+- Weekly retro → invoke retro
+- Design system, brand → invoke design-consultation
+- Visual audit, design polish → invoke design-review
+- Architecture review → invoke plan-eng-review
+```
+
+Then commit the change: `git add CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: add gstack skill routing rules to CLAUDE.md"`
+
+If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set routing_declined true`
+Say "No problem. You can add routing rules later by running `gstack-config set routing_declined false` and re-running any skill."
+
+This only happens once per project. If `HAS_ROUTING` is `yes` or `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `true`, skip this entirely.

+## Plan Mode Safe Operations
+
+When in plan mode, these operations are always allowed because they produce
+artifacts that inform the plan, not code changes:
+
+- `$B` commands (browse: screenshots, page inspection, navigation, snapshots)
+- `$D` commands (design: generate mockups, variants, comparison boards, iterate)
+- `codex exec` / `codex review` (outside voice, plan review, adversarial challenge)
+- Writing to `~/.gstack/` (config, analytics, review logs, design artifacts, learnings)
+- Writing to the plan file (already allowed by plan mode)
+- `open` commands for viewing generated artifacts (comparison boards, HTML previews)
+
+These are read-only in spirit — they inspect the live site, generate visual artifacts,
+or get independent opinions. They do NOT modify project source files.
