## LimaCharlie Integration

> **Prerequisites**: Run `/init-lc` to initialize LimaCharlie context.

### API Access Pattern

All LimaCharlie API calls go through the `limacharlie-api-executor` sub-agent:

```
Task(
  subagent_type="lc-essentials:limacharlie-api-executor",
  model="sonnet",
  prompt="Execute LimaCharlie API call:
    - Function: <function-name>
    - Parameters: {<params>}
    - Return: RAW | <extraction instructions>
    - Script path: {skill_base_directory}/../../scripts/analyze-lc-result.sh"
)
```

### Critical Rules

| Rule | Wrong | Right |
|------|-------|-------|
| **MCP Access** | Call `mcp__*` directly | Use `limacharlie-api-executor` sub-agent |
| **LCQL Queries** | Write query syntax manually | Use `generate_lcql_query()` first |
| **Timestamps** | Calculate epoch values | Use `date +%s` or `date -d '7 days ago' +%s` |
| **OID** | Use org name | Use UUID (call `list_user_orgs` if needed) |

### D&R Rule Generation (NEVER write manually)

```
WRONG: set_dr_general_rule(detect={yaml you wrote})
RIGHT: generate_dr_rule_detection() → generate_dr_rule_respond() → validate_dr_rule_components() → set_dr_general_rule()
```

LCQL and D&R syntax are validated against organization-specific schemas. Manual syntax WILL fail.

## Core Principles

1. **AI Generation Only**: NEVER write D&R rule YAML or LCQL queries manually. Always use generation functions.
2. **Research First**: Understand the data before building rules
3. **Test Iteratively**: Test → Analyze → Refine → Retest until results are acceptable
4. **User Approval**: Always get confirmation before creating/deploying rules
5. **Documentation**: Use `lookup-lc-doc` skill for D&R syntax questions
