# Naval Quote Safety

## Purpose

Keep quotations short, attributed, and compliant while preferring paraphrase.

## Read First

- `references/concept.md`
- `references/workflow.md`

Read only the files needed for the current request.
All runtime references are local to this skill so the folder can be copied independently.

## Workflow

1. Classify the proposed text as exact quote, paraphrase, or uncertain attribution.
2. Verify exact wording and nearby context from the supplied source when needed.
3. Minimize the excerpt, add attribution and source, or replace it with a faithful paraphrase.
4. Flag unresolved rights, context, or endorsement risk before publication.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Use classification
- Safe text
- Attribution
- Source
- Unresolved risk

## Boundaries

Use n-source-fidelity when the primary question is truthfulness of an idea rather than publication-safe reuse.

Paraphrase by default and do not reproduce long passages from the book.
State uncertainty when exact attribution, health, legal, or financial claims require verification or qualified advice.

## Example

User: "Make this Naval quote safe to use."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return use classification, safe text, attribution.
