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:
| User need | Agent |
|---|---|
| All iPad layout, Dynamic Type, orientation, safe area checks | agents/ipad-layout-agent.md |
| 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 |
