AEM 6.5 LTS Dispatcher

Route user requests to the appropriate specialist skill based on intent.

Intent Router

User Intent	Skill	Path
Create, modify, review, or harden dispatcher config files (`.any`, vhost, rewrite, cache, filter)	Config Authoring	config-authoring/SKILL.md
Conceptual questions (`statfileslevel`, filter rules, URL decomposition, cache invalidation, rewrite behavior, security headers)	Technical Advisory	technical-advisory/SKILL.md
Investigate runtime incidents, failures, or cache anomalies	Incident Response	incident-response/SKILL.md
Optimize cache efficiency, latency, and throughput	Performance Tuning	performance-tuning/SKILL.md
Security audit, threat model, exposure control, header hardening	Security Hardening	security-hardening/SKILL.md
End-to-end lifecycle (design → implement → validate → release → incident) or requests spanning multiple concerns	Workflow Orchestrator	workflow-orchestrator/SKILL.md

How to Use

Match the user's request to one row in the Intent Router table above.
Read the linked SKILL.md for that specialist skill.
Follow the workflow, references, and output contract defined in that skill.
For broad or ambiguous requests that span multiple concerns, use the Workflow Orchestrator which coordinates across all specialist skills.

MCP Tool Contract

All specialist skills share the same core-7 MCP tool set:

validate — static config validation
lint — deep/order-aware linting
sdk — SDK check-files and diff-baseline
trace_request — trace a request through dispatcher
inspect_cache — inspect cache state
monitor_metrics — runtime metrics
tail_logs — log tailing

Specialist Skills

config-authoring/SKILL.md — config file design, edits, and validation
technical-advisory/SKILL.md — policy, documentation, and evidence planning
incident-response/SKILL.md — runtime incident triage and remediation
performance-tuning/SKILL.md — cache and throughput optimization
security-hardening/SKILL.md — security audit and hardening
workflow-orchestrator/SKILL.md — full lifecycle orchestration across all skills
