Pages: Disclosure
Guides disclosure pages for affiliate links, sponsored content, and paid partnerships. Required for FTC compliance (US) and similar regulations. Builds trust and reduces legal risk.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
