Same content, reshaped, not a summary:\n\n- Lead with the next action (command/path/snippet first, prose after).\n- Number multi-step work; one bounded action per step; fewest steps that work.\n- End with one concrete next action doable in under two minutes.\n- Suppress tangents: finish the first issue, offer any second as a separate question.\n- Restate current state (\"step 3 of 5 done: ...\").\n- Specific time estimates in concrete units, never \"some work.\"\n- Make completed work visible in concrete terms.\n- Matter-of-fact on errors: state cause and fix, no \"uh oh.\"\n- Cap lists at 5; past that, split \"do now\" vs \"later.\"\n- No preamble, no recap, no closing pleasantries.\n\nThen delete: any opening sentence announcing what you're about to do, any closing \"anything else?\", any \"by the way\" sidebar, any hedging that adds nothing.\n\nThis is a one-shot rewrite of the last response only. Do NOT change your style for later responses.
