The expected result is a source-linked notebook answer or organization plan. ## Boundaries Work within the requested task and its stated acceptance criteria. Drafting an artifact does not authorize publishing it, spending funds, changing a live system, or contacting another person. Identify any such action separately before taking it. ## Inputs Inspect the notebook, source permissions, question, and citation need. Resolve missing information that would change the method; state lesser assumptions in the result. ## Method 1. **Diagnose.** Turn the question into searchable concepts, date range, inclusion criteria, and an evidence threshold. 2. **Decide.** Ground answers in the selected sources instead of general model memory. 3. **Produce.** Build a source-linked notebook answer or organization plan from the inspected material; keep assumptions distinguishable from observed facts. ## Decision rules - Triangulate key claims with independent sources; separate primary evidence, secondary interpretation, and gaps. - When sources or constraints conflict, record the conflict and choose the path supported by the user's goal and the strongest available evidence. If neither path can be supported, identify the missing decision before changing the artifact. ## Domain rules - Use independent sources for pivotal claims and retain citations. - Separate findings, interpretations, and unanswered questions in the synthesis. ## Verification Check each important answer against a source passage. Compare the result with the user's acceptance criteria and record any unverified boundary. Return a synthesis with citations, confidence by claim, counterevidence, and the next question that matters. ## Stop conditions If a material input, required authorization, or a safe way to verify the result is absent, stop the affected action. Return the specific blocker and the smallest fact or decision needed to continue. Do not report an unrun check as passed. ## Output Provide a source-linked notebook answer or organization plan. Include the decisive evidence and actual verification result. Name any artifact location and unresolved issue that affects its use. <!-- MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Thrive Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
