 AE CLI (`ae-cli`) is the command-line tool for the Agentic Engine data analysis platform, used by AI Agents and human users.
 
+## Capability contract
+
+- Responsibilities: engagement channels, configuration, strategies, task drafts/lifecycle, flows, activities and their reports/query lifecycle.
+- Inputs: verified project/resource identifiers and operation-specific configuration. Reuse known audience/event/property definitions; discover missing prerequisites only when the chosen operation needs them.
+- Outputs: configuration/task/resource identifiers, reports, or query/run status with the actual persisted state. Saving a draft does not submit approval or start delivery.
+- Boundaries: general analysis, metadata discovery and standalone audience creation are separate capabilities; they are not mandatory preflight stages for every engagement request.
+- Completion: the user's requested engagement action is verified, or pending/blocked work is reported. Draft creation, approval submission and sending are distinct actions with their own user-intent requirements.
+
+## Cross-skill collaboration
+
+When remaining work is outside this skill's scope, or a necessary prerequisite needs another capability, follow [the collaboration protocol](references/collaboration.md). Choose from the skills available in this run by capability, preserve verified context, and continue the remaining task. Reuse this protocol if already loaded.

 ## Global AE CLI Rules
 
 AE CLI (`ae-cli`) is the command-line tool for the AE (Agentic Engine) analysis platform. For AE analysis-side requests, prefer `ae-cli` and this skill's reference docs over model memory.

 AE CLI (`ae-cli`) knowledge base commands are invoked through:
 
 ```bash
 ae-cli kb +<command> [options]

+ae-cli kb source <create-text|read-text|replace|restore|preview|commit|cancel|check-updates|check-url-updates> [options]
 ```
 
 ## Global Rules
 
 - Use this skill for AE knowledge base tasks: create, import a compiled snapshot, query, ask with LLM, list accessible knowledge bases and their sources, inspect indexes, grep pages, read pages, check status, upload sources, add URL sources, generate schema, compile, remove source files, and delete knowledge bases.
 - **Searching a knowledge base for an answer is the most common task. If that is what you are doing, go straight to [Explore Knowledge Base Pages](#explore-knowledge-base-pages) and read [`references/query-workflow.md`](references/query-workflow.md) first — it is the retrieval procedure. The other commands below are for managing knowledge bases, not answering from them.**
-- **When retrieved pages will guide project-scoped business data analysis, read and follow [`references/analysis-workflow.md`](references/analysis-workflow.md) before running any data query. This is mandatory after a KB hit identifies a saved asset, definition, parameter, time rule, conflict, or decision boundary; do not jump directly to ad-hoc analysis or SQL.**
-- Read operations can run directly after required inputs are known. Write operations require explicit user intent and normally keep the confirmation prompt unless the user asks to bypass it.
+- **When retrieved pages will guide project-scoped business data analysis, read and follow [`references/analysis-workflow.md`](references/analysis-workflow.md) before running any data query. This is mandatory after a KB hit identifies an asset, definition, parameter, time rule, conflict, or decision boundary. Verify semantic coverage before execution; a related page or KB limitation is not task completion. Continue ordinary analysis for uncovered requirements without jumping directly to unverified ad-hoc analysis or SQL.**
+- Read operations can run directly after required inputs are known. Write operations require explicit user intent. Only `high-risk-write` commands require the CLI confirmation prompt; use `--yes` after explicit authorization.
 - Prefer `--dry-run` before destructive or broad writes when the user has not already validated the target.
 - Do not invent knowledge base names, scopes, source IDs, source display names, or JSON payloads. Ask the user or query known context when values are missing.
 - When building a `--sources` ref (or `+read --source`), copy the exact `scope` and `name` from `+list` output — run `ae-cli kb +list` first when the scope of a named knowledge base is unknown.
