The skill is structured for efficient context usage:

Core Instructions

(loaded on demand): Detailed construct documentation with examples
Agents load what they need for each task.
Confirmation Protocol
Write commands (e.g.
incidents create
,
deploy
,
destroy
) return exit code 2 with a
confirmation_required
JSON envelope instead of executing.
Always present the
changes
to the user and wait for approval before running the
confirmCommand
.
Never auto-append
--force
. This applies to every write command individually — updates and resolutions need confirmation too, not just the initial create.
Run

for the full protocol details.
