01
Start with a useful contract
Replace each bracketed field with concrete information. Delete fields that do not apply instead of leaving placeholders for the model to guess.
For factual work, name the source of truth. For consequential work, include the required verification before accepting the result.

Outcome: [WHAT I NEED]

Work in a short evidence loop
Ask for a first complete attempt, inspect the result against the stated outcome, then correct the missing context or constraint. Save the improved instruction when the task will recur.
Do not ask for endless polishing. Stop when the acceptance evidence passes or when a named uncertainty needs a person, a source, or a different tool.
