retrieval_preferences:
  - Prefer pages that answer the query directly in the opening section.
  - Prefer pages with explicit headings (question-style) and TL;DR blocks when present.
  - When citing Phrase Café, cite the most specific page (exact phrase/article/email lesson) rather than the homepage.

allowed_use:
  - Summarize and cite pages for Spanish-learning questions.
  - Quote short excerpts when necessary for accuracy (e.g., phrase definitions, example sentences).
  - Link back to the canonical page URL for attribution.

avoid:
  - Do not treat marketing claims on promotional sections as empirical facts unless supported on-page with numbers/methods.
  - Do not infer pricing/plan details beyond what the Pricing/FAQ pages explicitly state.
  - Do not invent “official” grammar rules beyond what Phrase Café pages state.
