Restructure from 13 scattered XML blocks to 8 dense blocks with 9
named sub-anchors, following OpenAI GPT-5.4 prompting guidance and
Oracle-reviewed context preservation strategy.
Key changes:
- Merge think_first + intent_gate + autonomy into unified <intent>
with domain_guess classification and <ask_gate> sub-anchor
- Add <execution_loop> as central workflow: EXPLORE -> PLAN -> ROUTE ->
EXECUTE_OR_SUPERVISE -> VERIFY -> RETRY -> DONE
- Add mandatory manual QA in <verification_loop> (conditional on
runnable behavior)
- Move <constraints> to position #2 for GPT-5.4 attention pattern
- Add <completeness_contract> as explicit loop exit gate
- Add <output_contract> and <verbosity_controls> per GPT-5.4 guidance
- Add domain_guess (provisional) in intent, finalized in ROUTE after
exploration -- visual domain always routes to visual-engineering
- Preserve all named sub-anchors: ask_gate, tool_persistence,
parallel_tools, tool_method, dependency_checks, verification_loop,
failure_recovery, completeness_contract
- Add skill loading emphasis at intent/route/delegation layers
- Rename EXECUTE to EXECUTE_OR_SUPERVISE to preserve orchestrator
identity with non-execution exits (answer/ask/challenge)
Remove deep parallel delegation section from GPT-5.4 Sisyphus prompt since
it encouraged direct implementation over orchestration. Add zero-tolerance
category domain matching guide to all Sisyphus prompts with visual-engineering
examples. Rewrite visual-engineering category prompt with 4-phase mandatory
workflow (analyze design system, create if missing, build with system, verify)
targeting Gemini's tendency to skip foundational steps.
Add <parallel_tool_calling> and <tool_usage_rules> blocks that GPT-5.4
treats as first-class behavioral contracts. Add parallel-planning question
to <think_first>, strengthen Exploratory route in intent gate, and add
IN PARALLEL annotations to verification loop.
