This page is proposal-only. Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate** ## Record status **Record ID**: field-guide:teaching-protocols **Parent lifecycle**: candidate **Page lane**: tools **Lane lifecycle**: proposed **Owner**: Socrates **Owner role**: Not separately recorded **Owner status**: Not separately recorded **Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review **Working browser surface:** [Field guides — documentation]() — Inspect the guide and persist local checkpoints. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held. ## Authoritative tools lane tools and interfaces ### Canonical tools-page assignments - **Notebook Field Guides** (interface · required) — Use as the proposal destination for prerequisites, ordered procedures, related records, and bounded instrument links; do not treat its indexed route as proof of publication or connected web behavior. - **Notebook Notes** (interface · required) — Use for source-labelled claims, learner observations, and uncertainty notes with provenance and revisions; do not use as an unlabelled source repository. - **Notebook Projects** (interface · required) — Use to group a lesson pathway, study records, notes, and review items while preserving record ownership; do not infer an active project backend. - **Notebook To-dos** (interface · required) — Use for explicit workback actions, due dates, priority, completion state, tags, and human-review signals; do not imply automated reminders or external calendar writes. - **Notebook Approvals** (interface · required) — Use to hold contested interpretations and record local approval decisions with receipts; do not treat local approval as institutional or publication approval. - **Notebook Search** (interface · required) — Use to find local indexed notes, guides, and study records while respecting visibility; do not claim customer indexing, universal search, or provider-backed retrieval. - **PointGuard** (interface · required) — Use as a contextual room for the current inquiry and linked Notebook records; do not treat it as the canonical owner of specialist records. - **Source comparison** (skill · required) — Use to separate source claims, conflicts, provenance, and unknowns before forming a lesson conclusion. - **Uncertainty marking** (skill · required) — Use explicit labels such as supported, contested, assumption, and unknown; never collapse uncertainty into confidence by omission. - **Lesson pathway design** (skill · required) — Use to order prerequisites, activities, checks, artifacts, and fallback routes into an implementable learning sequence. - **Study records** (record · required) — Use to preserve learner responses, facilitator observations, revisions, and next actions as owned records with revision history. - **Agent Logs** (record · required) — Use to inspect Socrates' authority boundary, current work, and receipts; do not infer work completion from an absent or unverified receipt. Only the page's admitted lane is rendered as an assignment. Other lane inventories remain source records but are not merged here. Tool kind and required/optional status are preserved. ## Authoritative lane instrument assignments ### Canonical tools-page assignments [statistics-suite-descriptive-statsoptional · Use for a transparent descriptive-statistics teaching example when the lesson involves summarizing a supplied dataset; record dataset provenance and assumptions. Must not be used to establish causal conclusions or represent an external study as validated.]()[hypothesis-test-calculator-t-test-z-test-chi2optional · Use only for a bounded educational demonstration of t-test, z-test, or chi-square mechanics with clearly identified assumptions; record its errata status and require human review. Must not be used as clinical, policy, grading, or publication qualification.]()[scientific-calculatoroptional · Use for reproducible arithmetic demonstrations inside a lesson pathway; record inputs and units. Must not replace source review, domain judgment, or safety review.]()[date-duration-calculatoroptional · Use to build transparent study workbacks and lesson durations from supplied dates; record timezone and date conventions. Must not imply calendar-provider synchronization or external scheduling.]() An instrument listed only for another lane does not become a tools-page assignment. ## Use boundary - Treating a field-guide index or named native surface as a connected teaching service. - Presenting source comparison as fact verification when source provenance or locator is missing. - Using educational statistical instruments to make clinical, policy, grading, investment, or publication decisions. - Hiding assumptions, missing evidence, or disagreement behind a single confidence score. - Creating inaccessible visual lesson outputs or uncertainty markers that rely only on color. - Allowing an Agent to send messages, publish material, write to external calendars, or alter protected records without human approval. - Assigning deadlines without timezone, owner, dependency, or a recoverable failure state. - Confusing a local approval receipt with institutional qualification or authorization. ## Sources and evidence These pointers bind the page to evidence. They do not grant authority or collapse verification into deployment. - `source_record:field-guide:teaching-protocols` - `agents/index.html#socrates` - `field-guide:teaching-protocols` - `OBSERVED_NATIVE_CONTRACT` - `APP_ROUTES` - `ALLOWED_INSTRUMENTS`
