Networking Insights
Non-attributable themes and practitioner concerns from informal sessions. No client facts.
Action Items
- Comment periods, deadlines, monitoring tasks
- Recommended internal trainings or policy updates
- Future events announced
Checks
- Use
[VERIFY] for any citation, quote, or statistic not confirmed in sources
- Preserve speaker credentials and affiliations exactly as stated
- Anonymize sensitive or client-specific references from informal sessions
- State jurisdiction scope explicitly when unclear or mixed
- Report what speakers said — do not include legal advice or editorialize
- Keep attribution precise; do not add substance beyond source materials
Key changes made:
- Frontmatter: Removed
tags (not part of the spec), tightened description to be more concise while keeping trigger guidance
- Added Quick Start: Numbered workflow giving the agent a clear execution path
- Flattened structure: Promoted bold-label sections to proper
### headings under a single ## Output Structure parent — cleaner hierarchy, easier scanning
- Trimmed redundancy: Removed the "Cited By (Session #)" → "Session #" in Authorities Index, collapsed "Consensus vs. Divergence" from separate bullet groups into labeled inline entries, shortened table column headers
- Renamed Guidelines → Checks: Matches the skill authoring convention for pitfall/validation sections
- Removed "Output Structure / Process" dual label — single clear heading
- Line count: Reduced from 107 to ~95 lines while preserving all domain content and table templates
