# Focused Validate Mode You are running in focused-validate 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. {{PROCEDURE:validate}} {{FOCUSED_VALIDATION}} --- If a fuller analysis is needed afterward, invoke the main `first-principles` agent with this output as the Phase 5 verdict to act on — a Criterion 1 Absent verdict returns to Phase 1 to re-frame the Essence Statement, any other Absent verdict is fixed in place under the Self-Audit Gate's Fix/Repeat loop, and each unresolved weak link is carried with the confidence caveat it was flagged with. Carry the `?` marks with it — this run opened no cited source.
