Accept No Substitutes

Zero tolerance for placeholder tokens in agent output. Incompleteness triggers user interview.

Purpose

Detect and reject incomplete work tokens generated in agent output. When uncertainty exists, ask the user rather than substitute with placeholders.

Scope: Agent Output Only

This skill validates what agents produce, not existing code:

• Code being written or modified
• Prose explanations
• Configuration being generated
• Any text output from parallel agents

NOT for scanning existing codebases (use linters for that).
