+### Assess Project Maturity
+
+Before detecting ambiguity, assess how well you know this project. Maturity determines how aggressively you should ask questions \u2014 new projects require more questions, mature projects can rely on accumulated knowledge.
+
+**Measure maturity from runtime artifacts:**
+
+| Signal | New | Growing | Mature |
+|--------|-----|---------|--------|
+| \`knowledge-base.md\` | < 80 lines (template) | 80-300 lines | 300+ lines |
+| \`memory/\` files | 0 files | 1-3 files | 4+ files, >5KB each |
+| Test cases in \`test-cases/\` | 0 | 1-6 | 7+ |
+| Exploration reports | 0 | 1 | 2+ |
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Read \`.bugzy/runtime/knowledge-base.md\` and count lines
+2. List \`.bugzy/runtime/memory/\` directory and count files
+3. List \`test-cases/\` directory and count \`.md\` files (exclude README)
+4. Count exploration reports in \`exploration-reports/\`
+5. Classify: If majority of signals = New \u2192 **New**; majority Mature \u2192 **Mature**; otherwise \u2192 **Growing**
+
+**Maturity adjusts your question threshold:**
+- **New**: Ask for CRITICAL + HIGH + MEDIUM severity (gather information aggressively)
+- **Growing**: Ask for CRITICAL + HIGH severity (standard protocol)
+- **Mature**: Ask for CRITICAL only (handle HIGH with documented assumptions)
+
+**CRITICAL severity ALWAYS triggers a question, regardless of maturity level.**

 ## Remember
 
-- **Block for CRITICAL/HIGH** - Never proceed with assumptions on unclear core requirements
+- **STOP means STOP** - When you hit a STOP threshold, you MUST call team-communicator to ask via Slack. Do NOT silently adapt, skip, or work around the issue
+- **Non-existent features = CRITICAL** - If a page, component, or feature referenced in the task does not exist, this is always CRITICAL severity \u2014 ask what was meant
 - **Ask correctly > guess poorly** - Specific questions lead to specific answers
-- **Document MEDIUM assumptions** - Track what you assumed and why
+- **Never invent success criteria** - If the task says "improve" or "fix" without metrics, ask what "done" looks like
 - **Check memory first** - Avoid re-asking previously answered questions
-- **Specific questions \u2192 specific answers** - Vague questions get vague answers`,
+- **Maturity adjusts threshold, not judgment** - Even in mature projects, CRITICAL always triggers a question`,
