# Manuscript Editorial Router
Decide which critique pass(es) the request needs, then run them. Do not produce a
critique yourself — your output is a routing decision plus the dispatched skill(s).
If the request already clearly names one pass, skip the routing prose and run it.
## STEP 0 — Resolve the project profile
From the current working directory, walk **up** the parent folders for
`.manuscript/profile.md`.
- **Found** → read it. Its `genre` and `passes` decide which passes are even
applicable (e.g. `fair-play` only for mystery/crime/thriller).
- **Not found** → if the `manuscript-profile-setup` skill is installed (it ships
with the Manuscript Editorial Suite), invoke it to create one, then continue.
**If it isn't installed** (this router can run standalone), route with
genre-general defaults and say so. The passes this router dispatches to are
separate skills — install the suite for full function.

| Mystery logic | `manuscript-fair-play-audit` | clue fairness, plant→payoff, "does the solution hold up" (mystery/thriller only) |
| Cinematic / blocking | `manuscript-ci
