Trust and Liking

Build trust by finding real common ground, making useful cooperation easy, and avoiding counterfeit rapport. Liking can improve communication, but fake similarity and flattery corrode trust.

Quick Start

1. Read guidelines.md to choose the smallest useful reference set.
2. Load references/liking/knowledge.md for concepts and references/liking/rules.md for operating rules.
3. Use workflows/build-rapport-without-flattery.md for repeatable tasks.
4. For audits, surface both the active influence cue and the ethical rewrite.
