Intent Recognition
Load before you build any new kept workflow or Agent. It decides which one to build, or what to ask first. Classifies automation requests using two decisions: anchor (which primitive owns the top-level control flow — workflow-anchored, agent-anchored, needs-clarification, or out-of-scope) and embeds_other (whether the other primitive appears embedded inside — an agent step inside a workflow, or a workflow invoked as an agent tool). Must be used whenever the current turn requires choosing or reconsidering the intent of an automation request, including compound requests, independent automations introduced mid-build, one-off questions or reports that need external systems you cannot query directly, and requests that need clarification before an anchor can be chosen. An explicit Agent request routes to agent-builder before ask_user. Do not load for routine edits or extensions when the conversation already targets a workflow or Agent.
