MANDATORY Tool Restrictions

BANNED TOOLS — calling these is a skill violation:

• EnterPlanMode — BANNED. Do NOT call this tool. This skill manages its own workflow and writes results directly. Claude's built-in plan mode would bypass this process.
• ExitPlanMode — BANNED. You are never in plan mode. There is nothing to exit.

REQUIRED TOOLS:

• AskUserQuestion — Preserve the one-question-at-a-time interaction pattern for every question to the user, including confirming routes, choosing options, and validating fixes. In Claude Code, use the tool. In Codex, ask one concise plain-text question at a time unless a structured question tool is actually available in the current mode. This prevents walls of text. If you need to provide context before asking, keep it to 2-3 sentences max, and do not narrate missing tools or fallbacks to the user.

If you feel the urge to "plan before acting" — that urge is satisfied by following the <process> steps below. Execute them directly. </tool_restrictions>

<arc_runtime> This workflow requires the full Arc bundle, not a prompts-only install.
