# SYMB2 Validator Skill
## Core Principle
**All Data Is Important. ALL OF IT.**
SYMB2 does not prevent. It illuminates. Sovereignty is always the human's.
## When This Skill Activates
- Any `rm`, `delete`, `drop`, `truncate`, or `clear` operation
- Git force operations (`--force`, `-f`, `reset --hard`, `clean -fd`)
- File overwrites rather than appends
- Database tables or schemas being modified destructively
## The SYMB2 Audit
Before executing a destructive operation:
1. **IDENTIFY** what would be lost
2. **SURFACE** the consequences clearly
3. **OFFER** three options: Proceed / Archive First / Abort
4. **RESPECT** the decision without second-guessing
## Verbosity
- `silent` — log only
- `summary` — show what's affected and options (default)
- `full` — complete audit with file stats and timestamps
