Prompt

Purpose

Turn rough intent into an instruction another session could execute without repeated clarification — then execute it.

Workflow

1. Identify the objective, the artifact to produce, the audience, sources, constraints, and success criteria. 2. Ask only questions that change scope, risk, source access, or irreversible action. If none qualify, do not ask any. 3. Convert the vague ask into concrete task instructions. 4. Include guardrails about what not to touch, when relevant. 5. Show the structured task briefly, then execute it, starting with the first bounded step.
