Identify the consumer's immediate job: decide, act, verify, continue, or understand. 2. Write the answer, decision, or strongest truthful state first. 3. Add only the material evidence, caveat, blocker, or next action needed for that job. 4. State each fact once. Link to the owning artifact instead of copying its content or raw history. 5. Compress language: direct verbs, one idea per sentence, concrete nouns, stable terms, no ceremonial opening or closing. 6. Run the signal test again and stop. ## Composition When other injected Skills own the artifact schema, required fields, evidence floor, or domain semantics, preserve those contracts. This Skill owns ordering, deduplication, compression, and progressive disclosure only. In supporting mode it produces no sec
