14### Context Engineering Checklist
15 
16When writing or reviewing agent instructions, tool descriptions, or prompts:
17 
18- Is this explained elsewhere? → Consolidate to one location
19- Would a senior dev infer this? → Remove if obvious
20- Can this be an example instead? → One example beats three paragraphs of rules
21- Is this defensive repetition ("MUST", "NEVER", "CRITICAL")? → State once, remove emphasis
22- Does this duplicate a tool's own description? → Keep in tool description only
23- Are there prescriptive step lists? → Compress to a sentence
24- Is the altitude right? → Specific heuristics, not hardcoded logic or vague guidance
25- Is this stable across requests? → Move to cached/static portion
