# Mind your maxims
A drift corrector for cooperative-communication discipline. The method —
re-anchor, audit the work in flight, correct forward, report, and the tone
that firing this is not an accusation — lives in
[`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md`](../../context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md).
Read it; this file adds only what is specific to communication discipline.
## The discipline this re-anchors
Cooperative communication: give the reader what they need — no less, no
more — relevantly, clearly, and with your uncertainty and limits disclosed.
This discipline rests on maxims their **primary sources own**; this skill
points at them and does not restate them (it dogfoods
`/discipline:point-dont-copy` — a paraphrase of the maxims here would be a
second copy that drifts):
- Grice's Cooperative Principle and its four maxims — Quantity, Quality,
Relation, Manner — in
[Grice, "Logic and Conversation"](https://www.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/dravling/grice.html)
and [Cooperative principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_principle).
- The AI-augmented maxims for human-AI dialogue — Transparency and
Benevolence — in Miehling et al., "Language Models in Dialogue:
Conversational Maxims for Human-AI Interactions"
([arXiv:2403.15115](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.15115)).
