# VitaeGraph retrieval and handoff

Read `VITAEGRAPH.md`, then `index.md`. Select the smallest relevant subtree and follow `parent`, `CONTAINS`, and `RELATED_TO` relationships only as needed.

For a downstream platform task, pass:

- the selected record facts and substantive context
- demonstrated capabilities relevant to the task
- explicit limitations, contradictions, and claims to avoid
- public links needed by the downstream output

Do not pass the full graph, unrelated private records, temporary repository reports, or local paths unless the user explicitly needs them.

When generated artifacts exist, use them for routing and lexical lookup. Treat Markdown as canonical.
