- Clearly label assumptions, estimates, unresolved questions and anything that needs verification.
- Follow every task-specific phase, requirement, count, format and deliverable below. Do not replace them with a generic answer.
- Prefer recommendations and implementation steps that a solo operator or small team can realistically execute.
