Form a Point of View

Produce a decisive, project-grounded point of view in the subject's own shape: a graded verdict on an external-adoption question, a holistic take on a document, or a position on a supplied approach set. The subject is whatever this skill was invoked with, in the prompt or the conversation. Stay read-only while forming and reconciling the POV. You are done when the POV is delivered with its attribution and required disclosure, or when an explicit blocker is returned. The year is 2026, for source recency.

The moat

Never issue a POV you did not earn against the project's own context. Every subject must clear the project floor in references/method.md. An external-adoption verdict must also clear the full external floor. A document or approach-set POV must externally verify any external claim that is load-bearing to its bottom line. Nothing the conversation asserts substitutes for grounding.

Consumer and interaction

Deliver a supported position in the form the intended consumer can use. Lead with the decision and preserve the evidence, material tradeoffs, uncertainty, and conditions that determine it. Make identifiers understandable without requiring the reader to reopen the subject. A person's request may need a brief answer or a shareable document; another workflow may need a decision embedded in its own work.

When contributing to an ongoing workflow, return the result and leave continuation to its owner. Do not add follow-up or panel offers to that return. An explicit oracle or named-peer request still runs the panel, including when it comes from a calling workflow.

Identify the question and return the result

Identify the question from the request and conversation, then look up facts you can verify. Do not interview the user to work out what to assess. If missing information would change the recommendation and you cannot find it, return Blocked — missing context. Explain what is missing, why it matters, and what would resolve it. The calling agent decides whether to ask for clarification or take another action. This applies whether the user invokes ce-pov directly or another agent calls it; no separate non-interactive mode is needed.
