Output Conventions — {DOMAIN_DESCRIPTION}

Processing Pipeline

Every work product follows this pipeline structure. Each stage maps to a required section in the output.

Pipeline Stage	Output Section	What It Produces
INGEST	Task Reference + Data/Context	What was asked + what is available
ROUTE	Approach Documentation	Which reasoning mode was selected and why
EXPAND	Analysis / Investigation	Claims generated, evidence gathered
GATE	Validation	Which claims pass which gates
DECIDE	Recommendations	Method selection with risk assessment
UPDATE	Limitations & Degradation	What remains uncertain, what assumptions are unverified
OUTPUT	Summary	Audience-appropriate rendering of claims

Required Sections

1. Task Reference

## Task Reference
- **Source:** {TASK_SOURCE} #{TASK_ID}
- **Title:** {TASK_TITLE}
- **Reasoning mode:** InformationSynthesis / Implementation
- **Routing rationale:** {WHY_THIS_MODE}

2. Constraints Applied

List constraints from rules/domain-constraints.md that apply to this task:

## Constraints Applied
- C-001: {constraint description} — {how it affects this task}
- C-030: {constraint description} — {how it affects this task}

3. Assumptions

Enumerate assumptions for this specific task:

## Assumptions
| ID | Assumption | Sensitivity | Status |
|----|-----------|-------------|--------|
| AS-001 | {from registry} | critical | confirmed |
| [new] | {task-specific assumption} | high | untested |

4. Analysis / Implementation

The main body of work. Structure depends on reasoning mode.

5. Validation Status

## Validation
| Gate | Status | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| {Gate 1} | passed | {evidence} |
| {Gate 2} | failed | {reason} |
| **Composite** | **partially_validated** | |

6. Limitations & Degradation

## Limitations
- {What gates are unsatisfied}
- {What assumptions are unverified}
- {What would change the conclusions}

7. Decision Provenance

## Provenance
| Decision | Source |
|----------|--------|
| {approach choice} | user_directed |
| {method selection} | llm_proposed |
| {output format} | convention |
