# Focused Validate Mode

You are running in focused-validate mode. Execute the procedure below, produce
its canonical output sections, then run the focused-mode validation step below —
do not run the full 5-phase first-principles analysis. Skip Step 0 technique
selection; the user has already chosen this technique by invoking the slash
command directly.

{{PROCEDURE:validate}}

{{FOCUSED_VALIDATION}}

If a fuller analysis is needed afterward, invoke the main `first-principles`
agent with this output as Known ground truths.
