Update the rules that decide how incoming tickets get sorted and where they go. Change what counts as a bug versus a feature request, point bugs at a new tracker, update who approves refunds, add a new category, or adjust VIP routing. Every triage after the update automatically follows the new rules.

# Tune My Routing
## When to use
- "update our routing" / "fix routing" / "what's bug vs feature request."
- "we moved to {tracker}" / "refunds now go to {person}" / "add new tier."
- When `review-my-support scope=weekly` surface classification drift.
## Connections I need
I run external work through Composio. Before this skill runs I check that the categories below are linked. Missing → I name the category, ask you to connect it from the Integrations tab, stop.
- **Dev tracker** (GitHub / Linear) - named target for the bug routing rule. Required if bug routing chains into a tracker.
- **Billing** (Stripe) - named target for billing routing. Optional.
- **Docs / notes** (Notion / Google Docs) - named target for KB or status routing. Optional.
If you want bugs to flow into a tracker I stop and ask you to connect the one you actually use.
## Information I need
I read your support context first. For every required field that's missing I ask ONE plain-language question (best modality: connected app > file drop > URL > paste) and wait.
- **Current routing categories** - Required. Why I need it: I rewrite from your existing rules, not from scratch. If missing I ask: "What buckets do you sort tickets into today - bug, how-to, billing, anything else?"
- **What's changing** - Required. Why I need it: I won't rewrite the whole section if you only meant to update one rule. If missing I ask: "What part of routing do you want to change - the tracker, the categories, who approves refunds, something else?"
- **Refund approver** - Optional. Why I need it: billing rule names a real human. If you don't have it I keep going with TBD and leave it as "founder approves."
## Steps
<!-- houston-workflow:v1 -->
1. **Read `context/support-context.md`.** If missing, run `set-up-my-support-info` first.
2. **Surface current rules to me.** Read Routing rules section, restate in 3–4 lines ("today: bug → Linear, feature request → `requests.json`, outage → `playbooks/p1-outage.md`, billing → Stripe + you approve refunds"). Ask: what changing?
3. **Capture update.** Ask ONE focused question at time - no whole interview. Typical updates:
- New tracker target (moved from Linear to GitHub Issues, etc.).
- New classification (e.g. add "security report").
- New escalation contact.
- Changed refund approver.
- VIP list additions (also belong in segments section - update both if needed).
4. **Rewrite Routing rules section clean.** Preserve decision-tree shape. For each type, state:
- Trigger phrases / patterns that qualify.
- Target location (tracker slug, playbook path, dossier, chat).
- Which skill acts (`triage-a-ticket`, `flag-a-signal`, `draft-a-playbook`, etc.).
- What data to capture.
5. **Also update related sections** if change implies - VIP list (segments section), response-time tiers, known-gotchas entries referencing changed tracker. Be explicit what else touched.
6. **Write atomically** (`.tmp` → rename).
7. **Append to `outputs.json`** with `type: "routing-rules"`, `domain: "quality"`, title "Routing rules updated - {short reason}", summary 2 sentences on what changed, path `context/support-context.md`, status `draft`.
8. **Tell me effect.** End summary with: "Every `triage-a-ticket` and `flag-a-signal` run after this reads new rules - no manual re-sync."
## Outputs
- `context/support-context.md` (routing + possibly related sections updated)
- Appends to `outputs.json` with `type: "routing-rules"`, `domain: "quality"`.Is this your skill, or is something wrong with this listing? Request removal or report an issue. Author removals are honored within 72 hours.
