I appreciate the detailed prompt, but I need to be transparent about a limitation:
I cannot access the actual content of the declared sources you've listed. While you've provided statute citations and a municipal code link, I don't have the ability to retrieve or read the current text of:
- Fla. Stat. § 489.103, § 489.105, § 489.107, § 489.111, § 489.113
- West Palm Beach Municipal Code sections
To write this guide responsibly, I would need you to either:
- Provide the text of the relevant statute sections and any applicable West Palm Beach municipal code provisions, or
- Specify the trade you want covered (electrician, plumber, HVAC, general contractor, etc.) so you can supply the specific regulatory requirements for that trade, or
- Direct me to a different approach—such as structuring a template that you can fill in with verified information from official sources.
Why I'm declining to proceed as-is:
Your rules correctly state "Every claim must cite a declared source" and "If you don't know... don't fabricate." If I wrote this guide by inferring content from statute numbers alone, I'd violate both principles. I could misstate requirements, omit local amendments, or cite sections that don't cover what I claim—creating a document that could mislead a contractor about compliance obligations.
Next steps:
Please provide the source material, or let me know the specific trade and jurisdiction so we can work with actual regulatory text. I'm ready to write the guide once I can verify the facts.
