Canon

Retrieve from the operative CEO canon. Source of truth: /Users/abdout/kun/docs/CANON.md. /canon lists the 10; /canon <decision-type|keyword> surfaces the matching book + its operating moves.

Usage

/canon                 # List all 10 with one-line thesis each
/canon hiring          # → CEO Excellence / High Output Mgmt + their moves
/canon hard call       # → The Hard Thing About Hard Things + moves
/canon customer        # → The Mom Test + moves
/canon positioning     # → Obviously Awesome + moves
/canon community       # → Working in Public + moves

Argument: $ARGUMENTS

Process

1. Read /Users/abdout/kun/docs/CANON.md (the retrieval index + the 10 entries).
2. No argument → print the 10 as a numbered list (N. Title — one-line thesis). Stop.
3. Argument present → match against the "decision-type → book" routing table below first (left-column keywords), then fall back to fuzzy-match on book titles and operating-move text.
4. On match → print: book title, 1-line thesis, the 2–3 operating moves verbatim, the principle number(s) it powers (link docs/PRINCIPLES.md), and the databayt-application line.
5. On ambiguity (≥2 books match) → print both, ranked, with a one-line reason each.
6. No match → print the full routing table so the user can self-route. Never invent a book outside the 10.
