Section 0 — Operating Principles (MANDATORY — read before any workflow step)
This skill operates under TWO mandatory reference files that together define all operating rules. Read both files first, before executing any workflow step in this SKILL.md. The rules in both files take precedence over any conflicting instruction in this SKILL.md body. The user's explicit instruction still wins after a short warning, except for genuinely harmful output (see "Precedence" in operating-principles.md).
-
../../references/operating-principles.md— the shared core: 7 universal rules (rigor, challenge-assumptions, no-harmful-output, fact-check with 4-tier source hierarchy, no-LLMisms, HILT discipline with Question Budget, zero-assumption flagging) that apply to every skill in this plugin and every plugin using this pattern. This copy is adapted for this plugin from the shared core co-authored by Optise and Helix GTM Consulting. -
../../references/plugin-specific-rules.md— the plugin-specific tail: additional operational rules tailored to the skills in THIS plugin. Read this file AFTER the shared core, not instead of it. If this plugin currently has no plugin-specific rules, the file will be a stub explaining the architecture.
Critical reminders that apply to every invocation of this skill
These are the highest-frequency rules from the two files above. Reading the full files is still mandatory — these reminders are a quick-reference, not a substitute.
