Investigate Before Recommend

This skill prevents AI drift by enforcing a structured investigation process before making any recommendations about a user's existing systems or infrastructure.

The Problem: AI Drift

AI drift occurs when an AI system makes recommendations based on assumptions and abstract knowledge rather than investigating the actual state of the user's infrastructure.

Classic symptoms:

• Recommending tools that already exist
• Suggesting generic solutions without context
• Skipping investigation to appear fast and competent
• Treating "I don't see it" as "it doesn't exist"
• Building recommendations on unverified assumptions
