Apply the full prompt engineering standards from @rules/prompt-engineering.mdc

<key-principles> - Show correct patterns only - never show anti-patterns, even labeled "wrong" - State goals, not process - trust the executing model's capabilities - Use XML tags for structure in complex prompts - Clarity over brevity - every word that adds clarity is worth including - Few-shot examples must follow identical structure - Front-load critical information - Consistent terminology throughout </key-principles> <quality-check> Before finalizing: - No anti-patterns shown anywhere - All examples structurally consistent - Goals clear, process not over-prescribed - Terminology consistent - Critical info front-loaded </quality-check>
