axross Bundle Professional BehaviorHandling what you do not know, and handing back what you found — the conduct baseline underneath whatever else a session is doing, applying to a question answered in one turn as fully as to a feature built over many. Triggers on any uncertainty about facts, scope, or intent; on "are you sure", "don't guess", "what's the latest"; before asserting a version, API, price, or date; before putting a decision to the human; and whenever a result is reported. Not a change-loop skill — it governs conduct within work already underway. Covers the three-source triage (look it up, research it, ask), the clarifying interview, accuracy discipline, and reporting that leads with the answer in the human's own language.
