collection-description	Creates hierarchical collection descriptions, finding-aid drafts, and terminology decisions from supplied inventories while preserving provenance and original-order evidence.	collection-description
digital-preservation	Plans fixity, format-risk review, storage independence, recovery verification, and reversible migration for digital collections without altering original assets.	digital-preservation
collection-access	Reviews collection access requests against supplied donor terms, restrictions, privacy concerns, and institutional policy without authorizing release or resolving legal conflicts.	collection-access
exhibit-interpretation	Writes source-backed exhibit narratives, object labels, and accessible interpretive alternatives from collection evidence without inventing provenance or granting publication clearance.	exhibit-interpretation

Preserve source evidence and distinguish drafts, proposed checks, and verified results. Missing evidence permits bounded planning with explicit unknowns. Creating a plan does not authorize external actions, institutional decisions, or changes to source records.
