Reliable Tool Context

Use this skill to build reliable tool context whenever command output will be analyzed by the model and correctness matters. Capture once, query from artifacts, and return compact answers without copying raw payloads into model context.

CLI Decision Rule

Use Sift to establish reliable tool context when any of these are true:

• Output will be consumed by the model (analysis, transformation, or follow-up querying).
• Pagination exists or may exist (pagination.next.kind=="command").
• JSON schema/root confidence is low, or rows may be heterogeneous (even for small payloads).
• You need reproducibility, redaction discipline, or auditability.
