functional-area-resolver skillA

functional-area-resolver is agent-read markdown (skill) from garrytan/gbrain: Compress an agent's routing file (RESOLVER.md or AGENTS.md) by converting granular skill-per-row tables into functional-area dispatchers. Each area lists sub-skills in a "(dispatcher for: ...)" clause. The LLM reads one area entry and routes to the correct sub-skill. Proven via held-out A/B eval: dispatcher pattern outperforms naive pipe-table compression..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Functional-Area Resolver — Pattern for Compressing Routing Tables

## Problem

Routing files (RESOLVER.md, AGENTS.md) grow as skills are added. Each skill
gets its own row (trigger -> skill path). At ~200+ skills this hits 25-30KB,
eating context budget that should go to actual work.

## Solution: Functional-Area Dispatchers

Replace N rows per area with **one entry per functional area**. Each entry
lists all sub-skills it can dispatch to in a `(dispatcher for: ...)` clause.

### Before (270 rows, 25KB)
```
- Creating/enriching a person or company page -> `enrich`
- Fix broken citations in brain pages -> `citation-fixer`
- Publish/share a brain page as link -> `brain-publish`
- Generate PDF from brain page -> `brain-pdf`
- Read a book through lens of a problem -> `strategic-reading`
- Personalized book analysis -> `book-mirror`
- Brain integrity -> `brain-librarian`
...
```

### After (13 rows, 13KB)
```
- **Brain & knowledge**: create/enrich/search/export brain pages, filing,
  citations, publishing, book analysis, strategic reading, concept synthesis,
  archive mining -> `brain-ops` (dispatcher for: enrich, query, brain-pdf,
…
