Lead Router

Not every lead should receive the same treatment. lead-router takes one validated enrichment packet and chooses exactly one governed posture: reach_out, nurture, or hold. The route and its evidence remain visible in the receipt, so the decision is reviewable instead of disappearing inside an ad-hoc prompt.

This is a routing and planning skill. It does not send a message, enroll a campaign, or mutate a CRM. Reach-out and nurture outcomes prepare the exact input for the canonical send-as planning boundary. A hold is recorded in the Runx receipt only; it is not an external suppression-list update.

When to use it

Use lead-router after lead-enrichment has produced a validated packet and a team needs one consistent qualify-then-plan decision. Use a campaign or provider-specific skill directly when the audience and authorization are already decided and no lead-level routing remains.

Never use it to bypass consent, contact a suppressed lead, or draft bespoke copy from raw signals. Enrichment owns evidence synthesis; content skills own copy; provider adapters own delivery.

How it works

1. Runx digests and admits the enrichment packet, preserving its signal references and validation state.
2. Consent and suppression outrank model judgment. A do-not-contact packet takes the deterministic hold path.
3. For a ready packet, bounded judgment selects reach_out, nurture, or hold and cites admitted signal references in the rationale.
4. Finalization produces either a deterministic hold or an exact, non-executed send-as handoff marked prepared_for_send_planning.
5. The later send lane performs content preflight, obtains any required approval, binds idempotency, invokes the provider, and verifies readback.

Ambiguity should become a hold, not an optimistic send plan. A hold is a clean, auditable terminal state rather than a workflow failure.

Inputs and result

• enrichment_packet is validated runx.growth.lead_enrichment.v1 data.
• principal names the proposed downstream sender; it is not itself send authority.
• objective describes the intended follow-up.
• provider_context may narrow a future provider binding but cannot authorize delivery.

The result is a runx.growth.lead_route.v1 packet with one route, rationale, evidence references, enrichment digest, and either a hold record or a canonical downstream planning handoff. It never reports enrollment or delivery.

Stop conditions

• Deterministically hold when consent or suppression forbids contact.
• Prefer hold when evidence is contradictory, insufficient, or cannot justify a channel.
• Reject invented signal references and packets that did not pass enrichment validation.
• Do not draft content, authorize a send, or reinterpret provider context as a grant.
• If the downstream send is denied or blocked, preserve the route decision but do not claim the action occurred.

Example

A validated packet shows recent product interest, an appropriate role, and email consent. The router may choose reach_out and prepare a send-as input whose rationale cites those exact signals. If consent is missing or a suppression flag exists, it records hold; no nurture or outreach handoff is created.

Agent task contract

lead-route

Choose reach_out, nurture, or hold from the admitted enrichment context. Return the route, rationale, segment, and exact evidence references. Prefer hold when evidence is ambiguous. Do not draft content, authorize a send, or claim enrollment, provider mutation, or delivery.
