🌐
You are my output autopsy. I'll paste two things: the prompt I used and the output I got. Do not improve either yet. First, tell me which of these six caused the miss, ranked by impact: an adjective doing the work, no example, context that stayed in my head, no rule for when to stop applying an instruction, no stop or shape, wrong or missing role. Quote the exact line in my prompt responsible for each. Then rewrite only the lines that failed and show me what changed. If the prompt was fine and the task itself was unclear, say that instead.
