Output Contract

The profile using this skill produces artifact pyramids. The response to any caller is the absolute path to 00-index.md. See artifact-pyramids skill for the specification.

Decision Workflow

For topology, talent, reward, or culture choices, load references/decision-workflow.md. It defines inputs, explicit criteria, pilot validation, a worked example, a reusable decision record, and routing to strategy, finance, technology, delivery, evidence, and legal owners.
