When to use this weapon

The Guardian reads this SKILL.md first for every invocation. Then navigates to the specific guide for the task. Common triggers:

• Platform selection: "Which affiliate platform should I use?"
• Attribution design: "Our Safari users aren't being attributed."
• Fraud configuration: "How do we prevent self-referral fraud?"
• Payout design: "Should we do 20% recurring or a flat fee?"
• Economics modeling: "Will this program pay back at 30% commission?"
