Guardrails
- Read before write.
- Do not send the update unless explicitly asked.
- Keep risks separate from blockers.
- Tune tone and detail to the audience.
- Label assumptions and source gaps.
- Keep the output short enough to send quickly.
Portable Output Contract
- Use only the useful subset of source-backed facts, assumptions, source gaps, stakeholder sensitivities, potential misreads, and the suggested next action.
- Use the smallest useful output.
- Label assumptions and preserve source gaps, source anchors, and confidence labels.
- When consuming upstream state, do not promote an assumption, inference, open question, proposed action, or stakeholder position into a fact, decision, commitment, owner, or deadline without new source support.
- Keep unresolved approvals, owners, timing, and blockers explicit in the update.
- Do not send, publish, update tickets, create events, or mutate systems unless explicitly asked.
