| description | Protect key research results with permanent documentation, drift tests, or artifact-appropriate checks. Use when selecting protection, creating or reviewing tests, or guarding important outputs through integration. |
Result Protection
Tool skill for protecting key results from unintended changes. Permanent results documentation is sufficient when the researcher chooses it; drift tests and other checks add automated protection where useful.

The active domain skill's stage-load table routes any domain-specific drift-test reference at the protection stage; load it per that table.
Scope Gate
[BLOCKING] Protect researcher-confirmed key results, not every intermediate number.
[BLOCKING] Record a protection mechanism and durable home for every researcher-confirmed kept result.
[BLOCKING] A protection update that changes expected results requires the same escalation as a meaningful result change.
