What OfficeQA does

OfficeQA Skill

Retrieval Discipline

  • When an external official time-series observation is needed, prefer the source's series/data-download/table page once identified. If exact-date or guessed-value searches return empty results, stop repeating them; broaden to the official series name/code plus data or download and use the table values.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
