load-plain-reference

name	load-plain-reference
description	Loads the applicable ***plain authoring rules and operational references for the current task. Covers section ownership, concepts, modules, resources, integrations, rendering, testing, and codeplain CLI behavior without loading unrelated guidance. Use when authoring, editing, reviewing, or debugging .plain files, or before invoking another skill that reads or writes .plain content.

Load the ***plain reference

Load only the rules and references required for the current task. Files under ../../rules/ are the source of truth for .plain syntax and authoring constraints. Do not restate or override them.

1. Account for rules already loaded

• In Claude Code, applicable .claude/rules/*.md files are loaded natively. Do not read those rule files again.
• In another agent, do not reread a rule whose full content is already present in the current context.
• Otherwise, read the applicable files from the routing table below before inspecting or changing .plain content.

2. Load applicable authoring rules

All paths are relative to this SKILL.md.

Task or content	Rule files
Definitions or concept usage	../../rules/definitions.md
Functional specs or acceptance tests	../../rules/func-specs.md
Implementation requirements or unit tests	../../rules/impl-reqs.md
Test requirements or conformance tests	../../rules/test-reqs.md
import modules	../../rules/import-modules.md
requires modules	../../rules/requires-modules.md
required_concepts	../../rules/required-concepts.md
exported_concepts	../../rules/exported-concepts.md
Linked files or resources/	../../rules/linked-resources.md
Any .plain text or example	../../rules/bullet-continuation.md

For a whole-file review or a task spanning several sections, load the union of the applicable rule files. Do not load every rule by default.

3. Load integration rules only for integration work

For an integration spec, always read:

• ../../rules/integrations.md

Then read the rule matching the integration shape:

• Embedded integration: ../../rules/integration-embedded.md
• Standalone integration: ../../rules/integration-standalone.md
• Embedded integration test scripts: ../../rules/integration-embedded-testing.md

Do not load integration rules for ordinary non-integration specs.

4. Load operational references only when needed

Authoring rules remain authoritative if a reference appears to conflict with them.

Need	Reference
Project layout, source-of-truth model, templates, or comments	references/project-model.md
Rendering order, generated artifacts, conformance workflow, or test scripts	references/rendering-and-testing.md
codeplain path resolution or CLI options	Invoke load-codeplain-reference

5. Continue with the task

After loading the applicable material, return to the invoking skill or user request. Keep generated code read-only and route every correction back to the appropriate .plain source.
