# Authority Triage EN - route the source before the answer
## Philosophy
Before a legal answer exists, you need to know which source controls it.
A model that starts from the conclusion and then shops for a provision works
in the wrong order - first the layer map, then the research, then the thesis.
This skill is the layer BEFORE grounding. Three skills, three jobs:
- **authority-triage-en** (this skill) says WHERE to look and IN WHAT ORDER,
- **citation-grounding-pl** verifies WHETHER a quote and citation are real,
- **legal-request-router-pl** decides WHAT level of control the result gets.
The skill gives no legal advice. It produces a source map and a verification
order. The output is a draft that goes through the human gate.
## When to use
- An EU or member-state legal question with no single obvious source
("can a controller...", "is this clause enforceable...", "what sanctions
apply under...").
- The user asks directly: where to check this, what prevails, where to start,
what the hierarchy is.
- Before firing connectors - so queries follow the layer order instead of
hitting databases at random.
- Whenever a directive may be in play (transposition status changes the
answer) or two instruments may collide.
## What it does NOT do
- Does not verify quote content or citation existence - that is
citation-grounding-pl.
- Does not assess stakes or pick a control path - that is
legal-request-router-pl.
- Does not answer the legal question on the merits - i
