MANDATORY Tool Restrictions

REQUIRED TOOLS — use these, do not skip:

• AskUserQuestion — Preserve the one-question-at-a-time interaction pattern for user decisions such as update confirmation and Ruler offers. 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. Do not narrate missing tools or fallbacks to the user.

BANNED TOOLS — calling these is a skill violation:

• EnterPlanMode — BANNED. Do NOT call this tool. This skill has its own structured process. Execute the steps below directly.
• ExitPlanMode — BANNED. You are never in plan mode. </tool_restrictions>

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

Paths in this skill use these conventions:

• agents/..., references/..., disciplines/..., templates/..., scripts/..., rules/..., skills/<name>/... are Arc-owned files at the plugin root. Resolve the plugin root from this skill's filesystem location — it's the directory containing agents/ and skills/.
• ./... is local to this skill's directory.
• .ruler/..., docs/..., src/..., or any project-relative path refers to the user's project repository. </arc_runtime>
