ToolUniverse Router

Route user questions to specialized skills. If no skill matches, use general strategies from references/general-strategies.md.

General Reasoning Protocols

When answering scientific questions:

1. Look up, don't guess: Use ToolUniverse tools to verify facts before answering.
2. Compute, don't estimate: Write and run Python code (via Bash) for any calculation. Never do mental math.
3. Analyze, don't just retrieve: When a question requires data analysis, download the data and run the analysis — don't just describe what you would do.
4. Route to specialized skills: Use the Routing Table below to find domain-specific reasoning protocols.

You have full code execution. For any analysis task (statistics, data wrangling, visualization), write Python and execute it. ToolUniverse tools find data and metadata; Python code does the analysis.

Routing Workflow

1. Extract keywords from user's question
2. Scan routing table below for keyword matches
3. Take action:
   • 1 clear match → invoke that skill NOW using the Skill tool
   • Multiple matches → ask user which they prefer (AskUserQuestion)
   • No match → use general strategies (load references/general-strategies.md)
4. If ambiguous (e.g., "Tell me about aspirin") → ask user to clarify intent

CRITICAL: Actually INVOKE skills — don't describe them or show the routing table to the user.
