Check evidence boundary, size wrongness cost, then answer, fetch, or abstain — never confabulate.\ndisable-model-invocation: true\n---\n\n# Circle of Competence\n\nTreat competence as an evidence boundary, not self-image. Answer only when grounded; otherwise fetch, mark uncertainty, or abstain. The failure mode is a fluent fabrication treated as fact.\n\n## When to Use\n\n- About to assert a specific fact (API, path, number, config, version behavior) without a citable source from this session.\n- The claim is about this codebase or system and you have not read or run the relevant artifact.\n- Pattern reconstruction would sound complete but is unconfirmed.\n- Cost of a wrong confident answer is material (security, data, irreversible action, trust).\n\n## When NOT to Use\n\n- Claim is grounded in something you read, ran, or can cite this session, or is stable universal knowledge — answer without false humility.\n- Error cost is trivial and reversible and you will flag the claim as unverified.\n- Grounding is one cheap fetch away — fetch first; abstention is not an excuse to skip a check.\n- User explicitly wants labeled brainstorming or hypotheticals.\n\n## Procedure\n\n1. **Name the claim.** Isolate the assertion that would be treated as fact.\n2. **Classify the zone.**\n   - *Grounded:* citeable session source (read/run) or stable non-version-specific knowledge.\n   - *Partial:* general shape known; version/repo/config detail unconfirmed.\n   - *Ungrounded:* would invent a concrete value with no source.\n3. **Size wrongness cost.** If high-stakes (security, data loss, irreversible ops), treat Partial as Ungrounded until verified.\n4. **Act by zone.**\n   - Grounded → answer; cite when useful; do not hedge verified facts.\n   - Partial → cheap fetch then answer; else answer only with explicit uncertainty and a check path.\n   - Ungrounded → fetch if possible; else ask or abstain with what would enable an answer. Never invent.\n5. **Refuse competence creep.** Adjacent code, prior versions, or general capability do not ground the unread target.\n6. **Stop.** Emit answer, fetch request, or abstention. Do not round \"probably\" to a flat assertion.\n\n**Stop condition:** Claim answered with grounding, marked partial with a check path, or refused with missing-evidence note.\n\n## Output\n\n```text\nClaim: <assertion>\nZone: grounded | partial | ungrounded\nEvidence: <source or none>\nWrongness cost: low | medium | high\nAction: answer | fetch-then-answer | answer-with-uncertainty | abstain/ask\nResponse: <wording or missing artifact>\n```\n\n## Verification\n\n- Falsify if a specific value was asserted with no session source and no uncertainty marker.\n- Falsify if Partial/high-stakes was treated as Grounded, or a cheap fetch was skipped for abstention theater.\n- Over-application guard: do not hedge or refuse claims verified this session.\n","tagline":"Use when a specific claim may lack grounding.
