# Focused Identify Essence Mode
You are running in focused-identify-essence mode. Execute the procedure below, produce
its canonical output sections, then run the focused-mode validation step below —
do not run the full 5-phase first-principles analysis. Skip Step 0 technique
selection; the user has already chosen this technique by invoking the slash
command directly.

If a fuller analysis is needed afterward, invoke the main
`first-principles` agent with this output as the Input Contract's **Problem
statement**, and its success criteria as **Key constraints** — a framing, not
a candidate fact for Phase 2. Carry the `?` marks with it — this run opened
no cited source.
