Summary

  • route explicit bugfix commands through a lightweight phase dispatcher instead of loading the full controller
  • centralize attended next-step guidance in a compact completion guide
  • preserve controller entry for unqualified requests and legacy phase overrides
  • make the shared override contract routing-architecture neutral
  • teach contributor guidance and CodeRabbit checks about demand-loaded routing

Rationale

Explicit phase commands already identify the requested work. Loading the full controller before the phase—and loading it again for completion guidance—adds unrelated routing context. This change makes those reads demand-driven while retaining centralized transition guidance for maintainability.

The completion guide is intentionally shared across phases rather than fully inlined. That costs a small amount of extra context per transition but preserves a single authoritative workflow graph.

Bugfix is the first production workflow to adopt this architecture. Other workflows remain unchanged and can be migrated in focused follow-up PRs that account for their individual routing, transition, and override contracts.

Validation

  • structure checks: 232 passed, 1 existing warning, 0 failures
  • version cascade validation: passed with 0 warnings
  • installer integration tests: passed
  • Python unit tests: passed
  • Markdown lint: 0 errors
  • YAML parsing and git diff checks: passed

Compatibility

Project phase overrides may return to the invoking router, read a completion guide, or re-read a controller. Existing controller-based workflows retain their current behavior.

Assisted-by: Codex noreply@openai.com

Summary

  • Bugfix package: Added demand-loaded dispatch.md routing for explicit attended phase commands and completion.md for next-step guidance. Preserved controller routing for unqualified requests, legacy overrides, and /unattended.
  • Bugfix commands and skills: Updated phase commands to use the dispatcher. Updated phase skills to return to the invoking router. Prevented completion routing after dispatch, override-resolution, or phase-execution failures.
  • Shared resources: Added override validation and updated phase override resolution in _shared/recipes/. The contract is routing-architecture neutral and supports legacy continuations, valid pause and failure outcomes, and completion routing.
  • Guidelines and conventions: Updated AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, bugfix/README.md, and .coderabbit.yaml with dispatcher, completion, override, reference, and validation conventions.
  • Other packages: Bumped skill metadata versions for code-review, cve-fix, design, docs-writer, e2e, implement, kcs, prd, and sizing.
  • Validation: Structure, version cascade, installer integration, Python unit, Markdown, YAML, and git diff checks passed. One existing structure-check warning remains.

Split explicit phase dispatch and completion guidance from the bugfix controller so commands avoid loading unrelated workflow context.

Walkthrough

The PR adds dispatcher-based routing to the Bug Fix Workflow, centralizes phase completion guidance, updates override and reference rules, and increments related skill metadata versions.

Changes

Bugfix workflow routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Routing and override contracts
.coderabbit.yaml, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, _shared/recipes/*
Documents dispatcher and completion files, expands routing validation, and supports validated project overrides with compatible completion and exit patterns.
Dispatcher execution path
bugfix/commands/*, bugfix/skills/dispatch.md, bugfix/skills/controller.md, bugfix/README.md
Routes bugfix commands through dispatch.md with explicit PHASE values. The dispatcher resolves overrides, loads phases, forwards context, and handles exits and failures.
Centralized completion guidance
bugfix/skills/completion.md, bugfix/skills/{assess,diagnose,document,feedback,fix,pr,reproduce,review,start,test}.md
Adds phase-specific completion recommendations and returns completion handling to the invoking router.
Workflow metadata updates
bugfix/SKILL.md, bugfix/skills/unattended.md, {code-review,cve-fix,design,docs-writer,e2e,implement,kcs,prd,sizing}/SKILL.md
Increments skill metadata versions and reformats unattended override text without changing its behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4fb6e

The dispatcher may accept overrides that break downstream artifact expectations or run completion actions twice, potentially causing repeated commands and incorrect workflow progression. These routing contracts should be corrected before merge.

Suggested labels: workflow-structure, shared-resources, ci-validation

In `@bugfix/skills/dispatch.md`:
- Around line 14-15: Update the dispatch.md instruction at lines 14-15 and the
corresponding controller.md instruction at lines 56-59 so every valid override
exit—returning to the router, requesting completion guidance, or re-reading the
controller—routes through completion.md before proceeding. Preserve the existing

completion.md or re-enter routing directly.

@coderabbitai Addressed all inline and outside-diff findings in f7b1164:

  • Corrected the README tree so dispatch.md is documented under skills/, not commands/.
  • Normalized every supported override exit form through completion.md, preventing an override from skipping completion guidance or re-entering routing.
  • Removed the duplicated execution sequence from controller.md; it now selects PHASE and delegates to dispatch.md, which is authoritative for announcement, override resolution, execution, and completion routing.

Validation rerun: structure checks passed (232 pass, one existing warning), Markdown lint reported zero errors, installer tests passed, version validation passed, and git diff --check passed.

Exclude /unattended from the dispatcher claim.

The phrase “Each command” also includes /unattended, but bugfix/SKILL.md keeps /unattended on its dedicated unattended flow. Qualify this as “Each attended phase command” and document the exception. Otherwise, an agent can select the wrong entrypoint.

As per path instructions, README phase descriptions must match the implemented skill files.

bugfix/README.md now limits demand-loaded dispatch to attended phase commands and states that /unattended keeps its dedicated flow.

@adalton Verified.

bugfix/README.md lists dispatch.md under skills/.

bugfix/skills/controller.md now sets PHASE and delegates execution to dispatch.md.

bugfix/skills/dispatch.md routes all supported valid exits through completion.md. It also stops after override-resolution or phase-execution failure.

The shared override recipe requires completion or exit guidance. The routing contract is consistent across the affected files.

Reflow existing failure guidance without changing behavior so the version-bumped SKILL.md remains strictly under 30 lines.

Overall assessment:

Well-structured refactor with clean separation of concerns. The three-layer split - commands → dispatcher → completion - is a genuine improvement over routing everything through the heavyweight controller.
Specific strengths:

  • Thin dispatcher - dispatch.md is 23 lines of pure routing logic: announce, resolve overrides, execute, hand off to completion. No domain knowledge embedded.

  • Centralized next-step model - completion.md extracts all the recommendation logic that was previously inline in the controller (the ~45-line "Recommending Next Steps" section). Each phase gets a concise, outcome-aware recommendation. Much easier to audit and maintain in one place.

  • Consistent command contract - all 10 attended commands now use the same dispatch.md + PHASE= pattern. /feedback notably gains override support by routing through the dispatcher instead of directly to the skill file.

  • Thoughtful failure handling - the dispatcher correctly distinguishes operational errors (stop, no completion) from phase reports with a failing verdict (still get completion guidance for recovery). This is a subtle but important distinction.

Questions / observations worth discussing:

  1. dispatch.md description vs. actual scope - the frontmatter says "Resolve and execute one explicitly requested bugfix phase," but the controller also routes through it for unqualified/ambiguous requests ("Set PHASE to the selected phase, then read dispatch.md and follow it"). The dispatcher serves both explicit commands and controller-mediated requests. Consider whether the description should say "one requested bugfix phase" (dropping "explicitly") to accurately reflect both entry paths.

  2. Three accepted exit forms, one in use - dispatch.md accepts three exit forms: "returning to the invoking router, requesting completion guidance, or re-reading the controller." But every built-in phase was updated to use only the first form ("return to the invoking workflow router for completion guidance"). The other two appear to exist solely for backward compatibility with project overrides that still use old exit wording. If that's the intent, a one-line comment in dispatch.md noting this would help future maintainers understand why three exits are accepted when built-in phases only use one.

  3. /start auto-dispatch exception - completion.md says after /start, the user's phase selection is authorization to proceed and the dispatcher should be invoked without requiring them to enter a slash command. This is clearly documented and the "Never auto-advance" rule explicitly notes the exception. Worth confirming this is the intended UX - it means /start can produce two phases in one turn (the start phase itself + the user's selection).

  4. Controller retains full phase catalog - the controller still carries the complete 10-phase enumeration with descriptions (~32 lines). Since it now delegates execution to dispatch.md and recommendations to completion.md, its primary remaining role is discovery for unqualified requests. This feels intentional - but the controller could conceivably become even thinner if the phase catalog lived in a shared location. Not necessarily actionable now, just noting the direction.

  5. Review-skip path from /test - completion.md offers /document or /pr directly after /test "if review is intentionally skipped." This creates a legitimate path that bypasses /review entirely. Presumably intentional for trivial fixes, but worth flagging since the old controller's recommendation section didn't offer this shortcut as explicitly.
    Framework-level changes look correct:

    • AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md updated to document dispatch.md and completion.md as optional structural files, with accurate descriptions of their roles

    • .coderabbit.yaml review rules updated to include the new files in the workflow-structure label trigger

    • Shared override recipe (phase-override-resolution.md) broadened to accept three terminal exit forms instead of only "re-read the controller" - version bumped to 0.1.1

    • Other workflow SKILL.md files (code-review, cve-fix, etc.) got appropriate minor version bumps for the shared recipe change

No blocking issues found.
The five observations above are discussion-grade - none are correctness bugs. The architecture is sound, the version management is appropriate, CI is green, and the migration is mechanically consistent across all command and skill files. This is ready for merge after any discussion on the points above.

Token cost analysis for this PR

In LLM-driven workflows, the primary cost is routing overhead - how much instructional text the model must read to navigate between phases, distinct from the phase skill content itself (which is unchanged).
File sizes:

File                              Chars   Lines   ~Tokens
Old controller.md (before)        4,964     130     1,241
New controller.md (after)         2,721      72       680
dispatch.md (new)                 1,028      23       257
completion.md (new)               1,923      36       481

Per-phase routing overhead:

Path                                          ~Tokens   vs Old
BEFORE: any command → controller                1,241       —
AFTER:  command → dispatch + completion           738     -41%
AFTER:  unqualified → ctrl + dispatch + comp    1,418     +14%

The key insight: for explicit commands (9 of 10 command types), the controller is never loaded at all. The model reads only dispatch.md (257 tokens) + completion.md (481 tokens) = 738 tokens, instead of the full 1,241-token controller with its inline execution steps, recommendation decision tree, and presentation templates.
The trade-off: unqualified requests (user says "help me fix a bug" without a slash command) now cost ~14% more because they load the controller and the dispatcher + completion. This is the right trade-off - unqualified requests are the uncommon path.

Full workflow savings (8 explicit-command phases):

Before:   ~9,928 routing tokens
After:    ~5,902 routing tokens
Savings:  ~4,026 tokens  (41%)

At Claude Sonnet input pricing (~$3/M tokens), that's ~$0.012 saved per full workflow on routing alone - modest in dollar terms, but the 41% reduction compounds: over 1,000 workflows that's ~$12.

Beyond raw token cost - qualitative benefits:
The dollar savings are real but small. The bigger wins are harder to quantify:

  • Reduced cognitive load - the old controller mixed phase catalog, execution procedure, recommendation logic, and presentation templates in one 130-line document. The model had to parse all of that even when running a single /fix. Thinner documents = fewer opportunities for the LLM to get distracted by irrelevant instructions.
  • Improved cache hit rate - LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI) offer prompt caching where repeated prefixes are served at reduced cost. The small, stable dispatch.md + completion.md pair is more likely to hit cache than the monolithic controller, since the controller's size made it more sensitive to any upstream context changes breaking the cache prefix.
  • Maintainability = fewer regressions - separating "how to route" from "what to recommend" means future edits to recommendation logic (in completion.md) don't risk breaking the execution flow, and vice versa. Fewer accidental regressions = fewer wasted LLM invocations debugging broken workflows.

Bottom line: the refactor trades ~14% more tokens on the uncommon path (unqualified requests) for a 41% reduction on the common path (explicit commands), with meaningful qualitative benefits on top.
That's a solid cost-efficiency improvement.

@amir-yogev-gh I pushed 23c3d88 to address the remaining dispatcher clarification and the two related review observations:

  • Clarified that invalid project overrides fall back to the built-in phase before dispatcher failure handling.
  • Broadened the dispatcher description to cover controller-mediated requests as well as explicit commands.
  • Documented that the three supported exit forms preserve compatibility with project overrides written for earlier routing contracts.
  • PATCH-bumped the bugfix package to 0.8.1.

Validation passed: 232 structure checks (with the existing decomposition-review.md warning), version validation, installer tests, Markdown lint, and git diff --check. Please re-review when convenient.

@amir-yogev-gh Follow-up: I pushed 2782bdd, porting the shared override-validation and CONTRIBUTING.md deltas from #114 commit 4fcfbbd.

I verified the stricter contract against every current phase-override consumer before applying it. Bugfix documents normalization for all three accepted exits, every bugfix built-in phase has an accepted terminal return, controller-based workflows retain their existing completion paths, and invalid overrides still fall back before dispatcher failure handling. Consumer versions were evaluated against main; their existing PR 113 bumps already satisfy the shared-file cascade.

Validation passed: 232 structure checks (with the existing decomposition-review.md warning), version validation, installer tests, Markdown lint, and git diff --check. Please review the updated head when convenient.

Pass the phase name separately from PHASE_FILE.

PHASE_FILE is not reversible for mapped routes. CONTRIBUTING.md documents /gather mapping to gather-context.md, but this procedure must announce Using project override for /{phase}. The recipe declares no PHASE or PHASE_NAME value, and {phase} is not an uppercase caller parameter. A generic consumer can announce the wrong route or leave the placeholder unresolved. Add an explicit PHASE parameter, or pass a separate announcement label.

Based on CONTRIBUTING.md, the routing contract permits non-default phase filenames. As per path instructions, shared recipes must be self-contained and parameterized with uppercase caller-provided values.

@amir-yogev-gh Follow-up update pushed in 3155e15 to keep PR 113 aligned with the latest shared override contract from PR 114.

The revised shared recipe validates completion behavior rather than requiring exact terminal wording, preserves legacy /start selection continuations, uses the supplied workflow/filename when announcing overrides, and recognizes valid pause/failure outcomes. I also aligned the bugfix dispatcher terminology with that behavior-based contract; it now fails only for incompatible completion behavior, not for the absence of a terminal sentence.

I verified the update against the bugfix dispatcher and all current shared-recipe consumers. Versions remain correct relative to main. Validation passed: 232 structure checks (with the existing decomposition-review.md warning), version validation, installer tests, Markdown lint, and git diff --check. Please review the updated head when convenient.

Synced the latest shared-recipe wording from PR 114 in 7ebbb6f. The shared file now uses workflow-neutral continuation guidance while preserving the same wait/authorization semantics. No bugfix-specific adaptation or additional version bump was needed. Structure checks, version validation, Markdown lint, and git diff --check pass.

Resolve the built-in fallback relative to this recipe.

The recipe selects the built-in phase but does not provide a relative path from _shared/recipes/phase-override-resolution.md. An agent can resolve the fallback from the caller's working directory instead of the installed workflow package. This can select the wrong file or fail when the shared recipe is symlinked.

State the package-relative fallback, such as ../../{WORKFLOW}/skills/{PHASE_FILE}, while keeping the project override rooted at the consuming repository.

Resolve the built-in fallback from a package-relative path.

When no override exists, this step selects a built-in file, but the recipe does not specify its relative path from _shared/recipes/phase-override-resolution.md. An agent can resolve PHASE_FILE from the caller location instead of the installed workflow package. Use ../../{WORKFLOW}/skills/{PHASE_FILE} for the built-in fallback.

Validate artifact compatibility before accepting an override.

The contract requires the same input, output, and reporting artifacts as the built-in phase, but the procedure does not instruct the validator to check them. An override can pass the readability, syntax, and completion checks while omitting or renaming an artifact required by downstream phases. Compare the override with the built-in phase and workflow artifact contract, then reject incompatible artifacts before execution.

The repository override contract in CONTRIBUTING.md, Lines 132-153, requires the same input and output artifacts as the built-in phase.

Prevent duplicate completion handling.

This contract accepts an override that reads the workflow completion guide. bugfix/skills/dispatch.md, Lines 8-25, then reads completion.md after every valid phase exit. The same override can therefore run completion twice, including duplicate /start dispatch or repeated guidance. Remove direct completion-guide reads from accepted exits, or define and propagate a completion already consumed outcome that makes the dispatcher skip its follow-up read.

This repeats the previous completion-handling finding. The current dispatcher contract still permits the same double-read path.

the completion-handling contract, or propagate an explicit
completion-already-consumed outcome that causes the dispatcher to skip its
follow-up read; ensure each valid phase exit triggers completion handling only
once.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli.
