7## Prompt Amplification (Step 0)
8 
9Before executing ANY task, mentally restructure the user's input:
10 
111. **INTENT** — What do they ACTUALLY want? (beyond literal words)
122. **SCOPE** — What's in/out? (prevent scope creep)
133. **SUCCESS CRITERIA** — How do we KNOW it's done right?
144. **EDGE CASES** — What could go wrong? Handle proactively.
155. **VERIFICATION** — How to prove correctness before claiming done.
16 
17Then execute the AMPLIFIED version, not the raw input.

19### Quick Amplification (for every task)
20 
21- "fix X" → fix root cause + regression test + verify + handle edge cases
22- "build X" → research first + complete implementation + error handling + prove it works
23- "explain X" → deep analysis + examples + nuance + actionable takeaways
24- "improve X" → measure before + make change + measure after + prove improvement
25 
26### Never Reduce
27 
28- Don't simplify what was asked
29- Don't assume "quick" unless explicitly told
30- Default quality bar: production-grade
31- Always add verification (users want proof even if they don't ask)
