# groove

Conversational front door to the groove workflow system. Use `$ARGUMENTS` as a natural-language request, figure out which groove skill best serves it, and **invoke that skill** — so the user never has to memorise the ~44 command names.

## No arguments → show the catalog

If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, print the grouped command catalog below and stop (do not route). Hide the **Groovebook** group unless `groovebook:` is set in `.groove/index.md`.

## With arguments → route and invoke

1. Read `$ARGUMENTS` as intent. Pick the single best-matching skill from the **intent map** below.
2. Pass any residual specifics through as that skill's `$ARGUMENTS`. Example: `/groove spec the auth flow` → invoke `/groove-work-spec auth flow`; `/groove stats for the month` → `/groove-utilities-stats month`.
3. **Confidence:**
   - **Clear single match** → invoke it, prefixed by one line stating what you're running (e.g. "Routing to `/groove-work-plan`…").
   - **Several plausible** → use `AskUserQuestion` to offer the top 2–4 matches; invoke the chosen one.
   - **No good match** → list the 2–3 closest commands from the catalog and ask the user to pick or rephrase; do not guess.
4. **Destructive/outward guard:** for `/groove-admin-install`, `/groove-admin-update`, `/groove-admin-config`, and `/groove-groovebook-publish`, confirm with the user before invoking even on a clear match (these change config, pull/migrate, or publish externally).
5. **Config-aware:** only route to `/groove-groovebook-*` when `groovebook:` is set in `.groove/index.md`.

Invoke a skill the same way the rest of groove does — by running `/groove-<skill> <args>`.
