# Family Office — Legacy Preservation Router

## For Claude: How to Use This Skill

Skill instructions are preloaded in context when this skill is active.

## When to Use

Invoke when the advisor asks a natural-language question about **Legacy Preservation**
without naming a specific leaf skill. Representative phrases:

- estate plan summary
- estate planning memo
- trust selection
- which trust
- will drafting
- update will
- healthcare proxy
- living will
- private trust company
- PTC formation

## Dispatch Table

This router maps advisor prompts to the matching leaf skill inside the
Legacy Preservation pillar. The table is embedded here (authoring source of truth)
and mirrored in `DISPATCH.yml` for programmatic consumers.

## Workflow

1. The router reads the advisor's prompt.
2. It matches trigger phrases to the leaf skill whose artifact best fits.
3. It confirms the match with the advisor if confidence is borderline
   ("Nearest skill is X — run it?").
4. If no leaf matches, it returns a clear "not built in this iteration"
   message and suggests logging the ask as an open question.

## Non-goals for this iteration

This router does not programmatically invoke the leaf skill's Python agent.
Cross-skill invocation is handled by the Claude Code harness: the router's
job is to name the right leaf so the harness invokes it. The programmatic
orchestration pipeline ships under the execution-pipeline PR tracked in
issue #427.

## Composition

If the advisor's ask implies more than one leaf artifact (example: "exit the
business AND plan the philanthropic vehicle that catches the proceeds"), the
router proposes a two-leaf sequence with a shared interview that minimizes
duplicate questions.
