Summary

Write the goal spec on disk before the agent acts, so it can't drift. Use before any multi-step task.

1	# Spec First
2	Without an external contract, the agent drifts after ~3 iterations — and the failure looks like progress (code written, tests pass, wrong goal solved).
3	Write `PROMPT.md` BEFORE acting:
4	- Goal — one sentence.
5	- Done when — concrete, checkable conditions. "Test suite green: <cmd>".
6	- Never touch — files/areas off-limits.
7	- Stop if — more than N files outside scope change; a passing test starts failing.
8	The agent re-reads this file every iteration. State (what's done) goes in a separate `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` it updates in place. If you can't write "done when" concretely, the task isn't ready — clarify before coding.
