Decompose the current prompt

Name every instruction's job before deciding where it lives.

Prompt Capsule

Take my current system prompt and decompose it. Classify every sentence into: identity (who the agent is), capabilities (what it can do), hard rules (must/never statements), tool guidance (when to use which tool), environment (paths, stack, versions), style (tone, format), and dead weight (contradictory, duplicated, or unverifiable lines). Produce a table of sentences to categories, flag duplicates and contradictions, and list the dead weight for deletion. Report the token count of each category.

Paste into EmergentFull Build: complete implementation prompt with explicit requirements

Quick is short. Full Build is recommended for most steps. Strict forces real logic when the AI keeps faking output.

Actual change check

Expected after this step

A categorized inventory of the existing prompt with token counts.

Should NOT happen

An existing feature broke
A button only logs to console
Data disappears after refresh
Errors fail silently with no visible state

This is what should exist before you continue. If reality does not match, do not move on.

Your notes for this step

Track what changed, failed, or needs follow-up. Notes export with the flow.

Pass the Verify Gate to complete this step

Verify before continuing

Do not move on until every check is true. The complete button stays locked until then.

Every sentence categorizedDuplicates and contradictions flaggedDead weight listed with deletion rationale

Do not continue if…

! One monolithic prompt where nobody knows which line does what
! Stale baked-in facts (dates, paths) contradicting reality at runtime
! Rules stated in the prompt but violated freely because nothing enforces them
! Prompt bloat: sections kept out of superstition rather than measured value

If the AI messes this up

Use this when:

- it only made visual forms or placeholder UI
- buttons do nothing or only log to console
- data is not persisted - state disappears on refresh
- something that worked before is now broken

Use this when the AI fakes progress or breaks the feature. It forces a real fix.

Everything got labeled 'rules'. Re-classify with the test: identity shapes persona, rules constrain actions, guidance informs choices - if violating the line should stop the run, it is a hard rule; otherwise it is not.
