openbooklet.com/s/azimuthopenbooklet.com/s/azimuth@1.0.0GET /api/v1/skills/azimuthDecision-quality pre-commitment analysis for initiative-level go/no-go calls with meaningful downside and limited reversibility â launches, rewrites, key hires, partnerships, strategic bets, timelines. Invoke when the user explicitly asks to pressure test, validate, or evaluate such a decision (e.g. 'should we do this,' 'pressure test,' 'go/no-go,' 'are we ready'). Do NOT invoke for routine code review, sub-task planning, reversible tactical choices, or pure ideation.
Convert proposed plans into operational truth before commitment.
Authoring discipline for new AZIMUTH reference files and templates. Use when adding a new domain reference file, extending an existing one, or creating a new template. Covers: (1) EXTEND vs. CREATE decision heuristic, (2) the Module 7 vocabulary header pattern that prevents domain-gap recurrence, (3) the sourcing caveat pattern for narrow-evidence-base files, (4) pre-verdict gate structure for templates. Validated by research-mpbaese4 (2026-05-18).
Tracks AZIMUTH's 8 primary citation source families for new publications or significant updates. Stages validated findings in research/staged-findings.md for human review before promotion to references/base-rates.md. Invoke with 'run the research scout' or 'promote staged findings'.
Apply AZIMUTH's own rules against its own output. Find where the skill drifted from its discipline.
