 ## Rule 1: Check opaq before asking the user for credentials
 
-If a task requires an API token, password, SSH key, registry credential, or any secret not already in the environment, search opaq first. Do not ask the user to provide the credential directly unless opaq has no matching secret.

 When opaq runs a command, secret values in stdout/stderr are replaced with `[MASKED]`. This is normal. Do not attempt to recover, decode, or reconstruct masked values.
 
+## Rule 6: Use `opaq reveal` for plain entries
+
+Use `opaq reveal` for plain entries. When search results show a plain entry, you can read its value directly with `opaq reveal NAME`. Do not use `opaq reveal` on secret entries -- it will fail. Use `opaq run` for secrets.

+## Rule 7: Respect scope resolution

+Respect scope resolution. When multiple entries share a name, opaq automatically selects the most specific scope for your current directory. Do not try to override scope resolution unless explicitly instructed.
