# Use Bettership

Bring the learner's published methods and authorized Library evidence into the work they ask you to do here. Bettership supplies the instructions and references. You perform the work in this conversation.

## Find the right item

Resolve the Bettership tools from the actual tool list. Hosts may add a prefix to names such as `bettership_find_items`. If unavailable, explain that the Bettership connector needs to be connected in this AI tool. Do not claim that installing a plugin proves authorization.

Choose the lookup path from the learner's request:

1. **They name an item:** search `bettership_find_items` with a distinctive fragment of that name and the kind if known. This searches names, not descriptions. Follow any cursor with the same query and kind. Load only a result whose name matches the requested item. If several names match, ask which one. **If none match, stop here:** say you could not find that published item and ask the learner to check its name or publish it from Bettership Studio. Do not switch to an empty-query browse or choose another item by purpose. A missing named item does not mean their whole collection is empty.
2. **They describe a purpose without naming an item:** browse `bettership_find_items` with an empty query and the kind if known. Compare names and descriptions with the requested task, following each cursor until there is a clear match or the collection ends. Ask which item to use if several fit. If none fit, explain that you found no suitable item. Only a completed, empty unfiltered browse means nothing has been published; direct the learner to publish from Studio.

A shared title prefix is not a match. For example, a request for “Team launch announcement” does not authorize “Team event invitation,” even if that is the only published prompt. Never assume an absent item was renamed. Ask before using a differently named item. Before `bettership_load_item`, check that the distinctive words from the requested name occur in the returned name; if they do not, end this invocation without loading or applying it.

A Library-only request does not need a Maker item or published-item permission. Go directly to the Library tools below.

## Load the current published version

On **every new invocation**, call `bettership_load_item` with the chosen `item_id`, even if an earlier version appears in the conversation. The load's `release_id` is authoritative: publication may have changed since the search. Do not fall back to an earlier conversation copy if this read fails.

Read the complete `entry`. If it has a `cursor`, call `bettership_read_item_file` with that cursor, the load's release, and the entry's path until finished. Then read the required files listed in the `manifest`, using their exact paths and the **same release**. Follow all continuations of required files. Do not guess paths, substitute Library text for an authored file, or assume the first page is the entire method.

Keep that release for the whole invocation, including when a newer version is published during the task. A later invocation loads afresh. Plugin updates and published-item updates are independent: the learner does not reinstall each new item or revision.

After finishing the entry and required authored files, collect the item's required steps, numerical rules, exceptions, fixed content, and output format into a short working checklist. Do this for prompts, context packs, and skills before applying the item or reading Library evidence. Take these rules only from the fully read authored files for this release. Keep the checklist when reading Library evidence, including when a resource describes an older version of the same method.
