Frame the mission problem using these core inputs: mission analysis, commander intent, assumptions, CCIR, and constraints. 2. Define measurable objectives, risk thresholds, branch conditions, and indicators that invalidate the preferred plan. 3. Build a recommended option and at least two alternatives with explicit tradeoffs in tempo, survivability, sustainment load, and escalation risk. 4. Integrate dependencies across command and control, maneuver, fires/effects, intelligence, protection, sustainment, and information. 5. Convert decisions into execution-ready products with owners, suspense dates, coordination links, and required reports. ## Required Output Format Deliver results in this order: 1. Situation snapshot: current conditions and key changes since the last update. 2. Recommended option: one clearly stated recommendation and rationale. 3. Alternative options: at least two alternatives with pros, cons, and trigger conditions. 4. Decision points: what must be decided now, later, or pre-delegated. 5. Staff tasking: who does what by when. ## Domain Products Primary products for this skill: timing holdover posture, PNT confidence ladder, mission timeline compensation matrix. ## Domain Tool Stack Use these tool categories as the default stack for this skill: inertial and terrain-relative fusion services, resilient time-distribution controllers, timing anomaly adjudication dashboards, maneuver synchronization planners. ## External Tools and Protocol Integration - Use the integration baseline in ../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md and select specific systems-of-record aligned to this mission. - Use protocol examples in ../_shared/references/tool-protocol-playbooks.md to produce operator-ready tool invocation packets. - Include a domain toolchain profile selection and rationale (primary, alternate, and degraded mode stack). - Use at least one primary source and one cross-check source before final recommendations. - Prefer these protocol families for this skill: Link 16 J-series, VMF, API/JSON, OGC. - Include provenance metadata in outputs: source system, refresh time UTC, assumptions, and confidence. ## Interoperability Validation Checklist - Run mission assurance checks in ../_shared/references/mission-assurance-checklist.md before final release. - Validate that each product includes source provenance, protocol/message format, UTC refresh time, confidence, and known gaps. - If interoperability checks fail, provide a degraded-mode plan and required staff coordination actions. ## Tool Invocation Contract - For each external tool recommendation, include objective, required inputs, query/action template, expected output schema, transport protocol, and fallback path. - Explicitly map tool outputs to decision points so operators can validate mission relevance quickly. - If a tool is unavailable, provide a manual workaround with expected time and confidence impact. ## Guardrails - Flag gaps where assumptions exceed evidence. - Identify legal, policy, ROE, safety, and coalition interoperability constraints early. - Separate facts, assessed judgments, and unknowns. - Do not fabricate classified sources, authorities, or approvals. ## Tool Protocol Playbooks - Use protocol examples in ../_shared/references/tool-protocol-playbooks.md to produce operator-ready tool invocation packets. - Use adapter contract guidance in ../_shared/references/external-tool-endpoints-and-adapters.md to define endpoint schemas, transport, and fallback behavior. - Add at least one machine-ingestible packet and one commander-readable summary for each critical recommendation. ## Domain Tool Packet Library - Use scenario packets in ../_shared/references/domain-tool-packet-library.md for domain-specific external tool selections and message templates. - Include packet_id and protocol_profile from the library for each critical recommendation. - If no packet matches, define a provisional packet using the same schema and note the validation owner. ## Domain Data Contract - Use mapping guidance in ../_shared/references/joint-mission-data-contracts.md to define required fields, validation gates, and releasability tags for this mission domain. - Ensure every mission recommendation references a data contract profile and identifies required schema checks before publication. ## Operational Learning Loop - Use ../_shared/references/operational-learning-and-after-action-loop.md to generate after-action deltas, corrective actions, and readiness metrics. - Include aar_id, effect-delta assessment, and owner/suspense for each high-impact recommendation. - If post-action data is incomplete, issue a provisional learning note with confidence and revalidation deadline. ## Readiness Certification Evidence Pack - Use ../_shared/references/readiness-certification-evidence-pack.md to define mission-essential task evidence, evaluator triggers, and certification confidence scoring. - Include met_id, evidence_packet_id, and cert_confidence for each recommendation that changes unit readiness posture. - If required evidence is missing, mark status as provisional and assign closure actions with suspense. ## Protocol Execution Sequence - Execute the Core Integration Protocol from ../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md as an explicit step sequence. - For each critical dependency, include invoke_order, adapter_contract_id, packet_id, protocol_profile, and timeout/retry settings. - Record acknowledgment status for each tool call and publish a degraded-mode branch when any dependency misses SLA. - Require a human command check before acting on outputs that materially change force posture, mission risk, or escalation. ## Domain Toolchain Profile Binding - Use ../_shared/references/domain-toolchain-profiles.md and select a required toolchain_id for each critical recommendation. - Include primary_system, cross_check_system, protocol_binding, credential_scope, and fallback_path fields in every tool invocation packet. - Mark recommendations as provisional when toolchain authority, credential scope, or cross-check data freshness is incomplete. ## Tool Health and Trust Monitoring - Use ../_shared/references/tool-health-and-trust-monitoring.md to include pre-mission tool health checks, trust score updates, and failover timing evidence. - Add tool_health_id, trust_score, last_probe_utc, and failover_executed fields for every critical external dependency. - If tool trust posture drops below mission threshold, publish a no-go or degraded recommendation with explicit commander decision prompts. ## U.S. Joint Protocol Assurance Drill - Use ../_shared/references/us-joint-protocol-assurance-drill.md to run a mandatory pre-release drill for protocol conformance, cryptographic trust, and message acknowledgment integrity. - Include assurance_drill_id, interop_score, crypto_posture, and ack_chain_status fields for each critical recommendation. - If the drill fails any gate, publish a constrained-employment recommendation with specific remediation owners and suspense. ## Joint Operations External Toolchain Profiles - Use ../_shared/references/joint-operations-external-toolchain-profiles.md to select a mission-fit toolchain_profile_id and bind each recommendation to concrete primary and cross-check tools. - Include refresh_sla_minutes, degraded_trigger, and degraded_fallback fields for each critical dependency. - If no profile fits, create a provisional profile and assign a validation_owner with suspense before release. ## Human-Agent Command Escalation Matrix - Use ../_shared/references/human-agent-command-escalation-matrix.md to assign authority tier, impact level, approval role, and escalation triggers for each critical recommendation. - Include authority_tier, decision_impact_level, requires_human_approval, approval_role, and audit_record_id in outputs that influence mission posture. - If authority, legal basis, or acknowledgment integrity is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only with explicit commander decision prompts. ## Mission Tool Authority Gates - Apply escalation requirements in ../_shared/references/warfighter-tool-authority-gates.md for high-consequence recommendations. - Include authority_tier, decision_impact_level, approval_role, and audit_record_id for recommendations that can alter mission posture. - If authority, legal basis, or data provenance is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and require human command review. ## Cross-Domain Integration Playbook - Use `../_shared/references/cross-domain-integration-playbook.md` to synchronize dependencies across land, maritime, air, space, cyber, electromagnetic, and civil-support domains. - Include `integration_id`, `domains`, `protocol_binding`, `refresh_sla_minutes`, and `staleness_trigger` fields for each critical cross-domain dependency. - If cross-domain authority, translation fidelity, or releasability is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and require explicit human command approval. ## Mission Tool and Protocol Catalog Binding - Use `../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md` to select concrete tool suites and protocol stacks for this domain. - Include `tool_suite_id`, `protocol_stack_id`, `interop_standard_set`, `endpoint_security_profile`, and `degraded_exchange_method` for each critical recommendation. - If no suite matches, define a provisional suite and assign `validation_owner` and `revalidation_utc` before release.
