Ucts Guide

Smart task analysis with optimal tool prescription. Analyze any coding task by complexity, domain, scope, and risk — then prescribe the best combination of UCTS optimization tools. Works directly in OpenClaw without a Claude Code session.

UCTS Smart Guide

Analyze the user's task and prescribe the optimal Claude Code session configuration.

When to use

When the user describes any coding task — feature, bug fix, refactor, architecture, etc. — and you need to decide HOW to approach it optimally.

Process

1. Classify the task

Dimension	Options
Complexity	trivial, simple, moderate, complex, massive
Domain	code, debug, refactor, feature, architecture, devops, docs, security, performance, migration
Scope	single-file, multi-file, module, cross-module, full-repo, multi-repo
Risk	none, low, medium, high, critical

Signals to look for:

• "todo list", "script", "hello world" → trivial
• "fix bug", "add test" → simple
• "authentication", "OAuth", "API endpoint" → moderate
• "microservice", "payment", "distributed" → complex
• "redesign", "rewrite", "migration" → massive
• "payment", "stripe", "encryption" → critical risk
• "security", "OWASP", "vulnerability" → high risk

2. Prescribe the combo

Complexity	Caveman	Tools	Model
trivial	ultra	Cache + Monitor	haiku-only
simple	full	+ Pruner, Fast Transform	haiku-default
moderate	full	+ LLMLingua, Semantic Cache, SWE-Pruner, RouteLLM, Repo Map	auto-route
complex	lite	+ AgentDiet, Hierarchical Memory, Swarm, /office-hours	auto-route
massive	off/lite	+ Observability, SPARC, all of the above	sonnet/opus

Risk overrides:

• critical risk → caveman off (no compression on safety-critical work)
• high risk → add /careful (destructive command blocking)
• any security domain → add /cso after implementation

3. Generate the dispatch instruction

Format for spawning a Claude Code session:

text

Load UCTS. Run /ucts guide <original task description>

For specific known patterns:

• Security audit → Load UCTS. Run /cso
• Code review → Load UCTS. Run /review
• QA test → Load UCTS. Run /qa <url>
• Feature → Load UCTS. Run /ucts guide <desc>, approve, implement, /ship
• Plan only → Load UCTS. Run /ucts guide <desc>, /office-hours, /autoplan. Save plan, don't implement.

4. Show the user
