Workflow

- Produce final notes and validation checklist.
When not to use
- Do not use for generic advice the base model already handles without this skill's specific artifact contract.

- Do not expose secrets, internal incident details, or security exploit instructions.
- Do not write vague notes like bug fixes and improvements when users need specifics.
