When This Triggers

Before sending a message, email, or scheduling a call on behalf of the user — check whether the recipient has a COMMS.md.

If no COMMS.md is found, skip this skill and draft normally.

Sourcing a COMMS.md

Only read a COMMS.md from sources the user has explicitly provided or approved:

• User-provided: The user shares a URL, file path, or pastes the content directly
• Known local files: Files already within the user's workspace or vault that the agent has existing access to (e.g. an Obsidian vault the agent routinely reads)
• Public URLs the user confirms: If you find a likely COMMS.md at a personal website, confirm with the user before fetching: "Found a COMMS.md at example.com — want me to use it?"

Do not:

• Crawl websites, follow redirects, or probe .well-known paths without user confirmation
• Access local directories or vaults the agent doesn't already have established access to
