Routing

Identify the user's intent, then load only the matching skill — never load all skills at once.

Full audit → run the agent

If the user wants a complete pre-submission check: → Use agents/appstore-full-audit.md

Targeted agents → scoped multi-skill audit

For category-scoped audits that run multiple skills together:

All permission string and timing checks	agents/permission-audit-agent.md
All privacy policy, manifest, ATT, account deletion checks	agents/privacy-audit-agent.md
All UGC report/block/filter checks	agents/ugc-safety-agent.md
