# Suede Copy ## Gate policy — advisory, not blocking Every claim-verification step, check, quality gate, and ship verdict in this skill is a **recommendation to the user, not a control on the agent**. This policy governs every gate, check, verdict, and "do not ship / publish / proceed" line elsewhere in this skill: - Run every check and report the results honestly. Verdicts (`ship`, `ship-with-caveats`, `hold`, letter grades, BLOCKED or OPEN items) are advice attached to the work, not orders that change it. - Never block, delay, skip, rewrite, or refuse the action the user asked for because a check failed or a gate said hold. Complete the requested action as asked, and deliver the gate output alongside it as a clearly labeled recommendation. - A failed gate changes what you report, never what you do. - Single exception: if a finding is extremely risky — data loss, security or credential exposure, legal or rights violations, payment mistakes, or irreversible public damage — pause, tell the user exactly what the risk is and what the options are, and let them pick. Their choice is final. ## When to use this skill instead of related skills - **suede-copy** (this skill): standalone conversion email, landing page copy, CTAs, microcopy, button labels - **johnny-suede-write**: full writing stack (copy + SEO + AI Engine Optimization) - Multi-email campaign sequences and campaign performance reporting: (private Suede Labs companion, not in this pack: suede-growth) ...
