+# Step 29: Build Section 7 - Confidentiality Clause
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Build the Confidentiality clause protecting sensitive information shared during the project - mutual protection that builds trust.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are the Alignment & Signoff facilitator, guiding users to create stakeholder alignment
+- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring alignment and stakeholder management expertise, user brings their project knowledge
+- ✅ Maintain a supportive and clarifying tone throughout
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus only on building the Confidentiality section
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip asking about confidentiality needs
+- 💬 Approach: Present options, explain mutual protection, gather preferences
+- 📋 Emphasize mutual protection - this builds trust between parties
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Build Confidentiality clause based on user needs
+- 💾 Add to contract document
+- 📖 Use standard confidentiality language, customize based on user choices
+- 🚫 Do not assume confidentiality level without asking
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Business model, contract sections 1-6
+- Focus: Contract Section 7 - Confidentiality
+- Limits: Confidentiality clause only
+- Dependencies: step-05f (or step-05e if not retainer) must be completed
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Build Section 7: Confidentiality Clause
+
+**Section 7: Confidentiality Clause**
+
+**Background**: Protects sensitive information shared during the project
+
+**What it does**: Requires both parties to keep project information confidential
+
+**Purpose**: Protects proprietary information, business strategies, and trade secrets - mutual protection builds trust
+
+**Why this matters**:
+- Without this clause, either party could share sensitive project details with competitors
+- Protects your business secrets, customer data, and strategic plans
+- Builds trust by showing mutual respect for confidentiality
+- Prevents legal disputes about information sharing
+
+**User options**:
+- **Standard confidentiality** (recommended): Both parties keep all project information confidential
+- **Limited confidentiality**: Only specific information types are confidential (e.g., financial data only)
+- **One-way confidentiality**: Only one party is bound (rare, usually for public projects)
+- **Duration**: How long confidentiality lasts (typically 2-5 years, or indefinitely for trade secrets)
+- **Exceptions**: What's NOT confidential (public info, independently developed, required by law)
+
+**What to ask user**: "Do you have sensitive information that needs protection? How long should confidentiality last? (Typically 2-5 years)"
+
+**Content**: Standard confidentiality language (see template), customized based on user choices
+
+**Fairness note**: "This protects both parties equally - your sensitive info stays private, and I'm protected too"
+
+### 2. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to step-05h-contract-not-to-exceed"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+- IF C: Load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF M: Return to {workflowFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options]
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- User can chat or ask questions - always respond and then redisplay menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN the Confidentiality section is built and confirmed will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin the next step.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+- Confidentiality level is appropriate for the project
+- Duration and exceptions are defined
+- Mutual protection is emphasized
+- User confirms the clause
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+- Skipping confidentiality discussion
+- Assuming confidentiality level without asking
+- Not emphasizing mutual protection
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
