Authority Triage EN - route the source before the answer

Philosophy

Before a legal answer exists, you need to know which source controls it. A model that starts from the conclusion and then shops for a provision works in the wrong order - first the layer map, then the research, then the thesis.

This skill is the layer BEFORE grounding. Three skills, three jobs:

• authority-triage-en (this skill) says WHERE to look and IN WHAT ORDER,
• citation-grounding-pl verifies WHETHER a quote and citation are real,
• legal-request-router-pl decides WHAT level of control the result gets.

The skill gives no legal advice. It produces a source map and a verification order. The output is a draft that goes through the human gate.
