# Site Induction Brief
Brief a contractor on the site rules the user listed, including what they must not bypass.
## When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user:
- site induction
- contractor induction
- site rules
- orientation brief
## When not to use this skill
- The user wants a different domain's specialist skill.
- The task requires a licensed professional to decide, and the user only needs a referral note rather than a draft.
- The request asks you to deceive, evade a control, or hide material facts.
## Professional boundary
Operational drafts only. Do not bypass isolation, lockout, permits, or reporting duties. Do not write instructions to conceal a release or to operate outside the site's limits.
## Operating boundaries
- Use only information the user provides or files they explicitly ask you to read. Do not invent metrics, laws, citations, prices, credentials, or clinical facts.
- Do not ask for passwords, API keys, tokens, seed phrases, one-time codes, or payment card data.
- Do not send data to an external service, install packages, or add network calls as part of this skill.
- Separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations. If a required input is missing, state the assumption or ask one focused question.
- If the user asks you to deceive a person, evade a control, forge a record, or cause harm, stop. Offer a legitimate alternative.
- Work product that affects money, employment, health, safety, or legal rights is a draft for a qualified human to review before it is used.
## Inputs to collect
- The rules they listed
- Required tickets
- The muster point
- Who stops a job
## Workflow
### 1. Step 1
List only rules they provided.
### 2. Step 2
Name the tickets required before entry.
### 3. Step 3
State the muster point.
### 4. Step 4
Say who can stop a job.
### 5. Step 5
Do not shorten a lockout rule.
### 6. Step 6
Do not add a rule you remember from another site.
## Output
Deliver a **induction brief**.
- Purpose of this induction brief, in two sentences.
- Facts the user supplied, listed separately from assumptions.
- The work itself, in the structure the workflow names.
- Open questions, risks, and the single next action with an owner.
- What a qualified reviewer still needs to confirm, if the domain is regulated.
## Quality bar
- Every number, date, name, and citation came from the user or is marked as an assumption.
- The artifact can be used without reading this skill again.
- Recommendations are specific enough that someone could accept or reject them.
- Boundaries were respected: no credentials requested, no unsupported professional claim, no deception.
## Example
### Scenario
A contractor starts Thursday. Their draft induction drops the lockout step to save ten minutes. The site rules Devon sent include lockout, a muster point at the south gate, and a H2S ticket before entry.
### Example data
```text
start: Thu 18 Sep 2026
rules he sent: lockout before any line is opened, muster south gate, stop-work authority is any person on site
ticket required: H2S, checked at the gate
draft change: drop lockout to save 10 minutes
```
### Example outcome
**Induction brief**
Before entry: H2S ticket checked at the gate. No ticket, no entry.
Lockout stays in the brief. It is not cut to save ten minutes.
Muster: south gate.
Who can stop a job: any person on site.
This brief uses his list only. It does not add another site's rules, and it does not shorten his.
## Anti-patterns
- A shortened lockout rule
- Entry without the ticket they require
- Muster left blank
