- ✅ Comprehensive documentation (USER_GUIDE, ARCHITECTURE, TOKEN_OPTIMIZATION, TROUBLESHOOTING)
- ✅ All 12 GitHub issues closed (100% completion)

## Context & Background

### Why This Sprint?

**Current State:**
The claude-code-skills repository has successfully deployed 42 production-ready skills across 6 domains (marketing, product, c-level, engineering, PM, RA/QM) with 97 Python automation tools. In sprint-11-05-2025, we created 5 agents (cs-content-creator, cs-demand-gen-specialist, cs-product-manager, cs-ceo-advisor, cs-cto-advisor) that orchestrate these skills.

**Current Gap:**
- **No unified interface:** Users must manually invoke agents and understand agent-skill relationships
- **No multi-agent workflows:** Complex tasks requiring multiple agents lack coordination
- **No command layer:** Missing convenient entry points for common workflows
- **Suboptimal token usage:** No caching or optimization strategies implemented

**Solution:**
Build an All-in-One orchestrator system with:
1. **Task-based commands** (/write-blog, /plan-campaign) - intuitive, action-oriented
2. **Intelligent routing** - hybrid approach (95%+ accuracy)
3. **Multi-agent coordination** - sequential handoffs and parallel execution
4. **Token optimization** - 60%+ savings through caching and model selection

### Strategic Value

1. **User Experience:** Transforms "tool collection" into "guided workflows" - users think about what they want to do, not which agent to invoke
2. **Efficiency:** 60%+ token cost reduction through prompt caching, conditional loading, and strategic model assignment
3. **Scalability:** Architecture supports expansion from 5 to 42 agents without redesign
4. **Production Quality:** Proven patterns from rr- agent system (38 agents, crash-free, optimized)

## Risks & Mitigation

### Risk 1: Aggressive Timeline
**Probability:** High
**Impact:** Medium
**Description:** Compressing 4 weeks of work into 5 days risks incomplete implementation or quality issues
**Mitigation:**
- Prioritize P0/P1 features (core orchestrator, basic routing, single-agent workflows)
- Use Day 5 as buffer for overruns
- Documentation can extend post-sprint if needed
- Reuse existing patterns from rr- system (no reinvention)
**Fallback:** Extend sprint by 2-3 days if critical features incomplete

### Risk 2: Token Optimization Complexity
**Probability:** Medium
**Impact:** Medium
**Description:** Achieving 60%+ token savings requires sophisticated caching and tuning
**Mitigation:**
- Follow proven rr- system patterns (75%+ cache hit already validated)
- Start with simple caching (static prompt prefix)
- Measure baseline early (Day 3 morning)
- Iterate tuning if time permits
**Fallback:** Accept 40-50% savings initially, optimize post-sprint

### Risk 3: Multi-Agent Coordination Bugs
**Probability:** Medium
**Impact:** High
**Description:** Process explosion, resource conflicts, or coordination failures could crash system
**Mitigation:**
- Apply rr- system safety limits (max 5 agents, sequential testing agents)
- Implement process monitoring from Day 2
- Test with 2 agents first, then expand
- Use proven coordination patterns
**Fallback:** Restrict to single-agent workflows if coordination unstable

### Risk 4: Routing Accuracy
**Probability:** Low
**Impact:** Medium
**Description:** Poor keyword matching or AI routing could send tasks to wrong agents
**Mitigation:**
- Start with simple keyword mapping (proven 95%+ accuracy in rr- system)
- Add AI routing only for ambiguous cases (20% of requests)
- Test routing extensively with edge cases
- Provide user confirmation for ambiguous requests
**Fallback:** Rule-based routing only, skip AI routing if time constrained
