What's inside
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
SKILL.md545 linessingle file
Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)
Read these files to configure recommendation behavior:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/tradition-presets.md — tradition and use-case presets
Pre-validated coherence points in the 8-dimension space
Starting points for customization, not final answers
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/components.md — component blueprints (what can be toggled)
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/dimension-claim-map.md — maps each dimension position to supporting research claims
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/interaction-constraints.md — hard blocks, soft warns, cascade effects between dimensions
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/claim-map.md — topic navigation for the research graph
If any reference file is missing, note the gap but continue with available information. The recommendation degrades gracefully — fewer citations, same structure.
EXECUTE NOW
Target: $ARGUMENTS
Parse immediately:
If target is empty or a question: enter conversational mode — ask 1-2 clarifying questions, then recommend
If target contains a use case description: proceed directly to recommendation mode
If target contains --compare [A] [B]: enter comparison mode — compare two presets or configurations
START NOW. Reference below defines the workflow.
Philosophy
Advisory, not generative.
/recommend exists for exploration. The user is considering a knowledge system — maybe they have a use case, maybe they're comparing approaches, maybe they're curious what the research says about a specific pattern. /recommend answers with specific, research-backed reasoning without creating any files.
