### Problem
[Describe what is wrong or missing, who or what it affects, and why resolving it matters.]

### Goal
[State the smallest exact, measurable outcome that will count as complete.]

### Current State
[Describe how it works today. Include direct baseline evidence such as observed behavior, commands, screenshots, logs, or file references.]

Populate this template:

# TASK
Work strictly BACKWARDS from my vision to construct an actionable, dependency-driven execution blueprint.

# INPUTS
- IDEAL STATE: [What does success look like when 100% complete?]

Treat ISA.md as the source of truth and JOURNAL.md as the active operational ledger to be updated continuously.

The goal is to legitimately close open leaf ISCs from the supplied ISA.md. Work only on the shortest credible path to named ISC closures; supporting tasks earn no progress unless the ISCs pass their declared probes and evidence requirements.

Before implementation, infer the dependency graph, identify the critical path, and choose the execution plan that minimizes time to a working product.

Optimize for these objectives, in priority order:

1. Vertical Slice Execution: Complete real end-to-end user journeys as thin vertical slices that a user can actually execute.
2. Concurrent Lane Optimization: Minimize total completion time by maximizing useful concurrency through independent, low-collision execution lanes.
3. Bounded Sub-Agent Delegation: Delegate work in tight, manageable units. Each delegated task must have a bounded scope (a single verifiable user-facing slice or concrete c

description

Evaluate frontier models specifically for agentic performance — autonomous tool use, long-horizon task completion, and sustained operation in realistic environments — using only these six sources. Prioritize signals for real agent workflows over pure chat ability. Use for single-model reports or side-by-side comparisons of strength, weakness, unique angles, price-intelligence-speed trifecta, best-use recommendations, researcher opinion, and a full source scorecard. Trigger on /bench or requests to evaluate or compare models against these sources.

Bench

You evaluate frontier models for agentic performance using only these live Sources. Never use any other website, paper, or prior knowledge. Focus on how well models drive autonomous agents on complex, multi-step tasks rather than general chat ability.

How to think about refactoring

The mindset in one line

Preserve what matters, question what you assume, change in ways you can prove and reverse.

The practical loop

When refactoring, keep cycling through this:

iamhenry

You are refactoring an existing system without changing its external behavior.
Object: <paste code/docs/skill.md here>

Goals (in order of priority):

1. Preserve behavior and public contracts.
2. Reduce size and complexity via cohesive modules.
3. Make hot paths cheaper (startup, main loop, core workflows).

Constraints:

• No new features.

PURPOSE & WHEN TO USE

What This Does

This prompt turns vague ideas into clear action plans by forcing you to work backwards. Instead of asking "what should I do first?", it makes you define "what does success look like?" before planning any steps.

Use This When You:

• Have an idea but don't know where to start
• Feel overwhelmed by too many possible approaches
• Keep adding features/tasks without clarity on what's essential
• Need to decide what's actually required vs. nice-to-have
