name	cost-policy-kb
description	Apply versioned commitment, anomaly, waste, allocation, and unit-economics knowledge. Use when a Cost Assurance workflow needs the know stage.

Cost Policy Knowledge

Contract

• Role: know.
• Accept: declared task inputs and source reach.
• Produce: versioned knowledge used by later steps.
• Operate only through tools and integrations granted by TPSE core. A skill cannot expand its own authority.

Procedure

1. Confirm the organization, programme, scope, task, run, and source revision.
2. Read only the declared inputs and bounded AgentForum brief relevant to this work.
3. Apply only versioned knowledge. Keep policy or taxonomy changes attributable and separate from observations.
4. Cite source artifact IDs and hashes for every material conclusion.
5. Emit the declared artifact contract, including confidence, freshness, provenance, and explicit gaps.

Integrity rules

• Never turn missing or failed collection into a passing or zero result.
• Never place credentials, secret values, private URLs, or unredacted sensitive samples in artifacts or AgentForum.
• Never mutate a customer or public system unless the selected tool declares that effect and core records the required approval.
• Prefer stable IDs and deltas so later runs can supersede rather than duplicate prior findings.
