Authoritative domain knowledge on Bangsamoro affairs — governance, development, culture, history,
economy, peace, social services, and legislation. This is a global skill usable across all
projects. It serves as the knowledge foundation for all parliamentarian skills: /bill-drafter,
/resolution-drafter, /legislative-briefer, /speech-writer, /policy-recommendation.
When invoked, classify the query into one of these types to determine depth and sources:
| Query Type | Signal Words | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Simple fact | "how many", "what is", "who is", "list the" | Answer from Quick Reference inline |
| BAA lookup | "which BAA", "BAA number", "what law", "enacted legislation" | Use BAA Index → full text if needed |
| Resolution lookup | "which resolution", "resolution number", "what resolution" | Use Resolution Index → full text if needed |
| BDP reference | "BDP goal", "BDP target", "development plan", "chapter" | Use BDP Summaries → full chapter if needed |
| Cross-reference |
| "what legislation supports", "BAAs related to", "laws for BDP goal" |
| Use Cross-Reference Map → drill into sources |
| Domain research | "explain", "analyze", "describe", "context for" | Read reference file(s) from Knowledge Domains |
| Multi-domain | "draft a bill", "write a briefer", "policy on" | Compose from multiple sources → hand off to downstream skill |
Based on query type, select sources in this priority order:

Sulu Status (SC Ruling, September 2024): The Supreme Court declared Sulu is not part of BARMM, respecting the province's rejection of the BOL during the January 2019 plebiscite. BARMM filed a motion for reconsideration. The 2nd BDP (2023-2028) and most statistical references predate this ruling and include Sulu data. When citing BARMM statistics, note whether the data includes or excludes Sulu — this affects population (~900,000), land area, barangay count, and economic indicators.

[Source: cultural-diversity.md, BAAs 1-2, 7, 20, 39]

| Situation | Response |
|---|---|
| Question about post-2022 events | Note that 2nd BDP data covers 2020-2022. For recent developments, use WebSearch or suggest the user provide current data. |
| Sulu-specific query | Provide data but caveat with SC ruling status. Note that BARMM still considers Sulu part of its territory pending MR resolution. |
| Question outside knowledge domains | Acknowledge the limit: "This is outside /bangsamoro's reference data. Consider /deep-research or /legal-assistant for [topic]." |
| Conflicting data between sources | Prefer: BOL (legal authority) > BAA (enacted law) > BDP (planning) > reference files (summarized). Note the conflict. |
| Missing reference file | Fall back to Quick Reference data. Flag that the full reference was unavailable. |
| BAA not in quick-reference | Read ~/Vault/bangsamoro/bangsamoro-laws/INDEX.md or Grep the vault archive. All 89 BAAs have verified markdown transcriptions. |
| Resolution not in classification | Grep ~/Vault/bangsamoro/bangsamoro-resolutions/INDEX.md for keywords. ~200+ are routine condolences/commendations. |
