Parametrize and Cite

Two universal mandates apply to any data or compilation thereof:

1. All dynamic information is a configurable environment variable. Names, links, statistics, costs, identifiers, dates, thresholds, contact details — never hard-coded. The structure is reusable; the particulars are injected.
2. All assertions require multiple citations. Every factual claim carries at least two independent sources. Single-source claims are flagged, not shipped.

These are not stylistic preferences. They are substrate disciplines that determine whether an artifact survives time (parametrization protects against drift; multi-citation protects against epistemic collapse).

When this skill fires

Apply this skill whenever the input is a "compiled artifact" — anything that bundles structure with particulars:

• pitch decks, one-pagers, sales sheets, README files
• competitive analyses, market reports, research summaries
• configuration files, manifests, deployment templates
• onboarding docs, runbooks, SOPs, playbooks
• any document that mixes "the pattern" with "this specific instance"
• any document that makes claims (numbers, attributions, characterizations)
