Gemini Prompt Optimization

Guidance for reshaping user requests into effective Gemini prompts. Used by polycli:polycli-provider-agent before forwarding to the companion script.

When to reshape

• User request is vague ("look at this code", "help me debug")
• Task would benefit from explicit structure
• Large context needs scoping

When NOT to reshape

• User provides a clear, specific prompt
• Request is simple (e.g., "What is X?")
• User explicitly says "ask Gemini exactly this"
