Ask
First time turning on the furnace this fall and the house smells burnt—what should parents check before bedtime? Real household: caregiver juggling school week and one elder or sibling nearby. Schedule: Sat 07:10 first cold morning; kids asleep by 20:30. Kitchen/home right now: filter on shelf, windows that open, CO alarm in hall. Already tried: ran it anyway last year and headache by noon. Please answer as a practical family-care guide: what to do next tonight/today, what to avoid, and a clear decision tree. Constraints: respect «No diagnosis, no medication changes»; no dosing kids/pets/elders yourself; no mystery powders or buying prescription meds online; keep steps screenshot-friendly under ~25 minutes where cooking/care applies. Structure your help as (1) what I already tried vs better alternatives, (2) constraints/avoid list, (3) red flags—when to stop DIY and get clinical/urgent help. Keep the voice concrete and kind for a tired caregiver; stay inside kitchen/home-care/communication levers only. Name what success looks like in 24 hours without promising cures. Avoid brand shopping lists; focus on routines, food already at home, and communication scripts caregivers can screenshot.
Answer
I'll work through this as a family-doctor task — smell from a first-use furnace touches inhalation exposure and household prevention, so I need to read the relevant cards before writing.
I have the relevant card (`household.md` for combustion gases/CO) and the user's requested structure. Let me write the draft and validate it.
PASS. The WARN findings are about pre-existing unrelated files in (internal file path omitted) (period-food-nourishment drafts from a prior turn) that I'm not opening this turn — they're hints, not blockers. The diagnostic boundary is in the draft ("I don't diagnose", "a technician distinguishes"), and Source lines aren't required for this style of preventive guide. Shipping the draft as-is.
