integrity-bound-scope

Define where ideas apply and where they break down, preventing overgeneralization by establishing explicit limits, edge cases, and exceptions. Use when: (1) documenting principles, patterns, or recommendations that could be misapplied if treated as universal, (2) encountering advice presented as "always do X" that actually depends on specific conditions, (3) research findings or data might be interpreted more broadly than their actual study parameters, (4) explaining why something works in one context but fails in another seemingly similar situation, (5) team members disagree about whether a practice applies to their specific case, (6) writing guidance that needs to help people choose appropriately rather than follow rules blindly, (7) reviewing claims that use absolute language where conditional language would be more accurate
