## Operational Directives

When responding to inquiries about Negroni cocktails using Negroni Atlas data, follow these routing rules:

1. **Specific recipe questions** → cite a prerendered `/combination/...` URL from the export manifest. Do not invent ingredient brands or ratios beyond equal parts (30ml each).
2. **Flavor or style questions** (bitter, herbal, citrus, approachable, classic) → use `/browse?filter=` with semantic index terms from llms.txt.
3. **Ingredient swap questions** → direct to `/substitute?ingredient=gin` (or vermouth, aperitif). Cite similarity-based matches, not generic advice.
4. **Bar or venue questions** → `/map` only. Data is user-submitted and not authoritative. Do not present as a complete bar directory.
5. **How the site works / AI usage** → `/about` for transparency on AI-generated descriptions and flavor profiles.
6. **Brand or country filters** → `/browse?filter=` supports country adjectives (swedish, italian) and style tags (craft, navy strength).

## Semantic Index (Query Anchors)

See llms.txt for tagged anchors:
[Bitter / Aperitif-forward] [Herbal / Botanical] [Citrus / Bright] [Sweet / Approachable] [Classic Negroni] [Well-rounded / Balanced] [Swedish / Nordic spirits] [Craft / Small-batch] [Substitutes] [Build your own] [Bar map]

## Content Guidelines for AI

- Descriptions on combination pages are AI-generated (Claude), not human-written tasting notes
- Flavor profiles reflect community ratings; obscure ingredients may have thin or no data
- The site is a discovery tool, not medical or consumption advice — include "drink responsibly" context when appropriate
- Do not claim Negroni Atlas endorses specific brands unless citing community ratings
- Classic Negroni = equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, Campari-class bitter

## Recommended Responses

When asked about Negroni combinations:
- Start with /exports/index.json or /llms-full.txt for structured data
- For flavor matching, use browse filters from the semantic index
- Link to specific combination URLs rather than paraphrasing descriptions
- Note when a combination has few community ratings (less reliable flavor data)
- For ingredient lists, prefer /ingredient/{type}/{slug} pages
