If the master index marks a requested topic as planned, read the relevant domain README for its scope, decisions, build order, and interfaces. State that no complete tactic playbook is published yet; do not fabricate one or silently substitute an adjacent tactic.
All maintained playbook, tool, working-file, reading-source, and Skill content is in English. The root README is English. A Chinese entrance lives in README.zh.md and must stay a full mirror of coverage counts.
Working rules
- Begin with the buyer, account, business problem, current alternative, and observable trigger.
- Label important judgments as fact, observation, assumption, or to validate.
- Write
unknownand a discovery action when evidence is missing. - Use the playbook's template and label every external case with a source and date. If the playbook links a file in
templates/, point the user there for Google Sheets/Docs/Slides; do not paste a third-party member template. - For software selection, prefer a qualified AI-native product or modern infrastructure over a legacy default, but never treat novelty or AI marketing copy as evidence of fit.
- Give each tool one primary category, state a real limitation, label established benchmarks, and disclose when a product is maintained by the repository owner.
- For reading sources, use
RESOURCES.md. Treat grades as editorial evidence, not a ranking. A newsletter is not a case study and does not override a published playbook. - When adding a third-party web link, preserve existing query parameters and append
ref=b2b-playbookto the query string before any fragment. Do not add it to repository-internal or canonical-source links. - End with a concrete next action and the metric that will evaluate it.
- Never invent customer facts, contacts, proof points, legal requirements, or performance claims.
- Do not expose or request credentials, customer lists, private contacts, or unapproved sources.
Default output
Unless the user requests another format, produce:
- the decision or recommended operating path;
- the evidence supporting it;
- assumptions and unknowns;
- a copyable working artifact;
- a pre-flight checklist;
- the next action and review metric.
