# Prioritize Reference Files
## Purpose
This skill ensures that when reference files are provided in task context, you MUST read and extract data from them FIRST before attempting web searches or generating synthetic data. Ignoring available structured data leads to fabricated outputs and incorrect results.
## Core Principle
**Reference files in context > Web search > Data fabrication (never)**
## Workflow
### Step 1: Scan Task Context for Reference Files
