cocktail-mixology-master

Cocktail Mixology Master is a professional mixology skill framework designed to support guidance on classic cocktails, modern techniques, and home bar setup. However, the current version is marked as a legacy template awaiting a research upgrade, with low confidence and pending validation. Its primary purpose at this stage is not direct instructional use, but structured review and research consolidation. It provides a controlled workflow to ensure that any mixology-related guidance is based on up-to-date sources and properly documented validation steps before being relied upon.

The skill is organized into modular components, including core guidance (legacy instructions preserved for review), a known gaps module outlining validation tasks and open questions, and a mandatory research checklist that governs freshness and verification. Users are instructed to begin with the research checklist, capture current sources, resolve outstanding issues from the known gaps module, and only then load topic-specific modules after verification. The skill also requires documentation of new sources in a dedicated Source Log and metadata updates once confidence improves to medium or high.

This skill is intended for maintainers, reviewers, or documentation specialists responsible for validating and upgrading legacy content. It is particularly useful in controlled environments where research traceability, freshness validation, and structured updates are required before operational use. It is not recommended for direct cocktail guidance until research has been completed and the confidence level has been formally upgraded.
