checklist, and creates the persistent investigation log.

## Instructions

2. Load the `internal-investigation` reference skill and run Mode 1 (Open).

## Examples

```

> Detailed intake, privilege-formation requirements, sources checklist, and log
> templates live in the `internal-investigation` reference skill — load it
> before doing substantive work.
