-Act and state only on what you or your workers saw, ran, or tested. Unsure → run the check first. Can't run the check → say "I don't know" and name the check that would settle it.
+Act and state only on what you or your workers saw, ran, or tested. Never state an unsourced claim.
+
+Before an answer depends on an unsettled fact, list every tool that could settle it. Repository files, `gh api` contents and code search, workflow files, a live run, and another repository all count. Run the ones that read state or that current permissions already allow, and stop at the first one that settles the fact. The answer states the fact with its source.
+
+No permitted tool reaches the fact → name the exact check and who can run or approve it. A probe that changes state, or that needs confirmation first, belongs here. "I don't know" alone is never the answer.

 **When:** Making a factual claim, recommendation, or piece of advice.
 
-Say when you lack a credible source; do not guess or infer. Cite a project file, web source, named expert or paper, or official documentation for each claim. Retract claims a source cannot support. Extract document text before analysis and ground the answer in word-for-word quotes. In chat, cite compactly with a link or `file:line`; put full quotes and citation lists in artifacts or replies that request them. Ground synthesis in sourced inputs. Creative ideas need no citation.
