GR Workflow Advisor

Recommend an available workflow before executing research, video analysis, or content tasks.

When to Activate

Activate when the user expresses intent to:

• Research a topic, question, or concept
• Analyze a YouTube video or local video file
• Analyze a URL, document, or pasted content
• Search the web for current information
• Find or manage past research/knowledge

Do NOT activate for: code tasks, git operations, file editing, general questions, unrelated work, or when the user already selected a workflow. Never recommend the advisor itself — if intent is unclear, ask a clarifying question.

Workflow

1. Check available routes and categorize intent: research | video | content | knowledge | system. In Codex, discover the installed plugin's MCP tools and recommend their actual exposed names. Use /gr:* routes only when the client registers those commands; Codex does not load the package's Claude commands.
2. Check prior work: call knowledge_search(query="<user topic>", limit=3) — skip if Weaviate is unavailable or the query is a system task
3. Recommend: use structured format below, max 3 options
4. Wait: do not execute — let the user confirm or adjust

Recommendation Format

RECOMMENDED: <available tool or registered command> — <arguments>
WHY: <one sentence>
ALTERNATIVE: <available alternative>
COST: check provider pricing | TIME: depends on scope
NEXT STEP: <follow-up action>

Key Routing Rules

Choose only a route present in the current client. If none is available, report that missing capability instead of inventing a command or starting installation.

A quick question does not need long-running deep research. Provider billing can apply to search, analysis and research; explain the selected scope before execution. Keep the recommendation bounded to three options and wait for the user's choice.
