Prompt Compile

Define-do-verify for real tasks. Compile a brief (define), execute it in fresh context where possible (do), check the result against the brief (verify). The brief is the prompt an experienced operator would have hand-written before a big task - now generated in-session, every time.

When this runs

• Fired by the prompt-compile-gate.sh hook (medium and high bands), or invoked manually.
• Not for bug fixes: your debugging workflow owns those.
• Not for trivial one-file one-step edits: if the gate misfired, say "trivial, skipping brief" in one line and just do it.

Compile the brief

Seven sections. All required. Missing section = brief not done.

1. TASK + NON-GOALS

One paragraph: what changes, and what is explicitly preserved. Non-goals are the highest-value words in the brief ("polish pass, not a rebuild. Preserve data, routing, behavior. Change presentation only.").
