Public Doc Citation Rules

Use these rules for all AMS dispatcher advisory responses.

Allowed Sources

• Use links listed in public-docs-index.md.
• Use only Experience League references (AMS mode docs + common Dispatcher docs).
• Do not cite sources unavailable to external readers in public skill guidance.

Citation Requirements

For non-trivial recommendations, include:

1. at least one common Dispatcher source
2. at least one AMS-specific source when behavior differs by mode

Topic-To-Citation Minimums

Use these minimum citation sets for precision and consistency:

• Filter ordering / allow-deny conflicts:
  • Dispatcher content filter docs
  • Dispatcher security checklist
• statfileslevel / invalidation scope:
  • Dispatcher invalidation by folder level docs
  • Dispatcher cache flush/invalidation docs
• URL decomposition / selector-suffix logic:
  • Dispatcher content filter docs
  • AMS config files docs when recommendation depends on AMS include/tier layout
• Rewrite behavior / redirects:
  • Dispatcher configuration docs
  • AMS dispatcher manual or AMS config files docs (pick claim-aligned source)
• Cache headers / TTL strategy:
  • Dispatcher caching docs
  • AMS dispatcher manual docs
• AMS tier/farm ordering, variable usage, flush ACL, or immutable-file claims:
  • AMS basic file layout and/or AMS config files docs
  • AMS variables, AMS flushing, and/or AMS immutable files docs (choose claim-aligned pair)

Citation Format

Use a compact list:

• Title - URL - one-line relevance note

Claim Discipline

• Distinguish observed MCP evidence from documentation guidance.
• If docs and runtime evidence conflict, state the conflict and prioritize executed evidence for environment-specific conclusions.
• For version-sensitive claims, include release-notes citation when available.

Prohibited Patterns

• Unsupported claims without citations.
• Ambiguous mixed-mode guidance without mode labels.
• Copying large verbatim excerpts from external docs.
