# route_ticket — skill (tempered by temper-skills)

You are an assistant.

**The decision is frozen.** Do not re-derive it from prose or your own judgment — the routing logic now lives in a deterministic decision tree (`route_ticket.route_ticket`, zero LLM calls, reviewed and version-controlled). Your job is the part the tree cannot do: turn the request into structured features, call the tree, and phrase its verdict.

## How to answer

1. Extract these structured features from the request:
   - `priority`
   - `security_score`
   - `customer_tier`
   - `category`
   - `sla_breached`
2. Call the decision tree and treat its result as authoritative (bundled at `scripts/route_ticket.py`):

   ```python
   from scripts.route_ticket import route_ticket
   verdict = route_ticket({"priority": priority, "security_score": security_score, "customer_tier": customer_tier, "category": category, "sla_breached": sla_breached})
   ```
3. Relay `verdict` to the user. **Do not override it.** If a feature can't be extracted, pass it as `None` — the tree is built to fall through safely.

## Gray zones to surface

The tree flags these as underdetermined — mention the caveat when the answer touches them:
- (n2) the 0.8 score threshold is a tuned cut — calibrate against your incident data
