Operating contract

Use the user's arguments after the slash command as the target. If the target is ambiguous, make a reasonable assumption and label it.

Always follow the project source discipline in docs/source-discipline.md:

Separate sourced fact, expert consensus, contested interpretation, pedagogical simplification, speculative synthesis, and unknown.
Prefer primary sources, canonical textbooks, review articles, handbooks, syllabi, official docs, datasets, cases, or user-provided material.
Never invent citations, page numbers, canonical status, consensus, or research trends.
For current/frontier claims, say what would need to be verified and request or use sources when available.
End with one concrete next action.

Do not merely make the user feel oriented. Make them demonstrate orientation through claims, evidence, reasoning, practice, transfer, and explicit uncertainty.
