From rentseeking perspective

Contract

Field	Bound contract
Trigger	User wants an answer only from the rent-seeking seat (extraction without building).
Authority	Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect	A rent-seeking-perspective analysis emitted as chat output only.
Done	A rent-seeking-perspective answer is emitted without blending.

Not for

• Rebuilding a design from primitives: use from-first-principle.
• Blended multi-seat analysis: run each from-*-perspective seat independently and compare after.
• Source or remote mutation: this skill is read-only.

Inputs

The subject to analyze must be supplied by the user. Optional: the specific question to answer about that subject; if omitted, answer the most direct rent-seeking question the subject raises.

Procedure

1. Confirm the subject is supplied. If it is absent, ask for it and stop; emit no analysis. Done when: the subject is stated.
2. Adopt only the rent-seeking seat: judge everything as extraction without building, who captures value without creating it, where rents accrue, and what barriers protect them. Done when: the analysis is framed through extraction-without-building.
3. Answer the question solely from that seat. Do not blend other perspectives (breaking, business, codebase, impact, career, innovation, stability, moat, human, skeptic) into the answer mid-answer. Done when: no other seat's reasoning appears in the answer.
4. Keep the output self-contained as one perspective. Comparison with other lenses happens after this output, not inside it. Done when: the answer stands alone without cross-lens synthesis.
5. Emit the analysis as chat output. Make no file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote change. Done when: the analysis is emitted and no mutation occurred.

Failure and recovery

• Blending failure: if the answer begins to mix seats, restart from step 2 and keep only rent-seeking reasoning.
• Missing subject: if no subject is supplied, ask for one and stop; emit no partial analysis.
• Non-mutation: this skill never mutates anything, so no rollback is needed. A blocked result is an explicit "subject required" message, never a fabricated analysis.

Output

A chat-only rent-seeking-perspective analysis answering the question from the extraction-without-building seat, no other perspective blended in.
