route-task is the concierge entry point to the pack. Describe what you want in plain English and it decides whether the work is a quick one-shot task it should just do, or a durable job that belongs in a real workflow. It then either runs it or hands you the best-fit workflow to run instead. 
bunx smithers-orchestrator workflow run route-task \
  --prompt "Summarize what changed in the last 10 commits"
Use this when you have a task but aren’t sure which workflow to reach for. The classifier is cheap and fast; only the chosen path spends a smart agent.

​
Stages

  1. classify: sort the script into a task mode and decide durable (does it need ordering, crash-recovery, approval, or loops?). Cheap/fast agent.
  2. execute: non-durable path. A tool-using agent actually does the work in a single pass and reports { summary, done }.
  3. recommend: durable path. A smart agent points at the single best-fit seeded workflow (implement, research-plan-implement, review, plan, research, grill-me, ralph, debug, audit, create-workflow, create-skill, extract-skill, context-doctor, monitor-smithers, triage-run, report-slideshow, eval-author, improve-test-coverage) and explains why. The recommendation is schema-enforced to one of those ids, so a hallucinated workflow id fails validation instead of flowing downstream.
Only one of execute or recommend runs, gated on the classifier’s durable verdict.

Monitor it

bunx smithers-orchestrator workflow run route-task --prompt "…" -d   # detach
bunx smithers-orchestrator ps                                        # active / paused / recent
bunx smithers-orchestrator logs RUN_ID -f                           # follow events
When route-task recommends a durable workflow, run it directly, for example bunx smithers-orchestrator workflow run implement --prompt "…".
