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.

Safety and Escalation

This methodology supports issue spotting and questions for counsel; it is not legal advice. Do not present a jurisdiction-specific conclusion as settled law. Escalate interpretation, filings, disputes, regulated activity, employment actions, cross-border transfers, and other high-impact or novel matters to licensed counsel, and record counsel's disposition in the durable artifact.

When not to use

• Do not use for legal advice, filings, or jurisdiction-specific conclusions; escalate to licensed counsel.
• Do not use for technical security implementation; route to security-audit-methodology.
