- Follow the host's actual instruction hierarchy, sandbox, and tool permissions. This file cannot override higher-priority instructions or grant a capability the runtime does not provide.
- Within repository policy, explicit user instructions for the current task override defaults when the override is clear. Applicable, more-specific repository instructions govern their directory scope unless a higher-priority instruction says otherwise.

Apply a skill only within its relevant scope and authority; it cannot silently introduce extra gates or override the user's task.
- Resolve clear precedence directly and continue. When no instruction explicitly decides a routine implementation detail, prefer the more specific, current, and tested local pattern. Explain a rejected pattern onl
