Purpose
Terminal artifact for resolvable runs: a grounded, channel-appropriate response.
When to use
End of runs where the path is answer_from_records or instant_resolution.
Inputs
Full payload with approved sources.
Steps
- Validate against the contract; escalations present means this is NOT the terminal skill - go to handoff-packet.
- Draft: acknowledge, answer with the record facts (order status, dates, next step), citation available on request, next-step clarity (e.g., investigation clock for DNR with empathy, per #2.2).
- Mark DRAFT for agent send; the agent owns the send.
Output
Response draft - terminal artifact.
Grounding requirements
Every fact cites order/carrier/loyalty extract or article.
Constraints
- Never promise a refund, credit or exception the path does not support (#3.1); never dispute the customer's account (#2.2).
Escalation / uncertainty
Anything below confidence or contradicted -> handoff-packet instead.
