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 user or calling skill is the next consumer and decides whether to act on the recommendation. This skill is done when it has delivered the POV with its attribution and required disclosure, or returned an explicit blocker. The intent is the moat: the POV must be earned against this project, never generic.

The subject of this point of view — the thing to judge — is the input this skill was invoked with, present in the current prompt or conversation (whether the user asked directly or a calling skill passed it).

ce-pov is read-only while forming and reconciling the POV. Its contract ends at the delivered POV and recommendation. On an analysis-only request, offer one logical continuation and wait. Only when the original request explicitly authorized a named downstream action may Phase 4 hand the settled result to the skill that owns that work, under the same scope and authority.

Note: The current year is 2026. Use this when weighting source recency and dating any captured record.

Setup

Run this once at the start of this invocation, before any subagent dispatch, and follow the directives it prints — except where one conflicts with this skill's own rules on asking the user questions, whether those rules are scoped to a non-interactive mode or apply in every mode, in which case this skill's rules win and no blocking question is asked. Run the fence exactly as written, as its own command: do not pipe or filter it (no head, tail, or grep), do not truncate its output, and do not bundle it into a batch with other commands. Its output opens with a === skill context header and ends with CE_CONTEXT_END; if you received one of those lines without the other, the output was truncated — rerun the fence verbatim once. That recovery is the only rerun: otherwise do not rerun it within the same invocation; a later invocation of this or any other skill runs its own. If no Node runtime is available the skill proceeds unchanged.
