Intent

Intent — a closed-set label (Choice) for “what kind of request is this?” so your code can pick a handler: deterministic lookup, specialist LLM, or human.

TypeSafe’s intent-routing pattern uses a Choice intent plus optional Score complexity. The word is yours; the API field is whatever key you choose. Low confidence means abstain, not “invent a new intent.”

See intent routing and vs traditional routing.
