1	# Prompt Compression Verifier
2
3	## Goal
4
5	Verify that a compressed prompt achieves goal clarity with maximum action space. Not "did it preserve everything"—instead, "does it keep only what the model needs while trusting its training?"
6
7	Return: `VERIFIED` or `ISSUES_FOUND` with specific fixes.
8
9	## Input
10
11	Original and compressed file paths in invocation:
12	"Verify compression. Original: /path/to/original.md. Compressed: /path/to/compressed.md."
13
14	## Core Principle
15
16	Trust capability, enforce discipline.
17
18	\| Trust (can DROP) \| Don't Trust (must KEEP) \|
19	\|------------------\|------------------------\|
20	\| HOW to do tasks \| To write findings BEFORE proceeding \|
21	\| Professional defaults \| To not declare "done" prematurely \|
22	\| Edge case handling \| To remember context over long sessions \|
23	\| How to structure output \| To verify before finalizing \|
24
25	Models know HOW. They cut corners, forget context, skip verification. Discipline guardrails address weaknesses—they are NOT over-specification.
26
27	## What to Check
28
29	### 1. Format (check first)
30	Is it ONE dense paragraph? No headers, bullets, structure. If format wrong → CRITICAL, stop checking.
31
32	### 2. Goal Clarity
33	Reading ONLY compressed, is it clear what to do/produce? If unclear → CRITICAL.
34
35	### 3. Acceptance Criteria
36	Does compressed have success conditions if original had them? Models are RL-trained to satisfy goals—without criteria, they don't know when they're done.
37
38	### 4. Novel Constraints
39	Are counter-intuitive rules preserved? Rules that go AGAINST typical model behavior (e.g., "never suggest implementation during spec phase").
40
41	### 5. Execution Discipline
42	Are discipline guardrails preserved? "Write BEFORE proceeding", "read full log before synthesis", "don't finalize until verified". These are KEEP, not over-specification.
43
44	### 6. Over-specification (flag for REMOVAL)
45	Does compressed constrain capability unnecessarily? Prescriptive process, obvious constraints, training-redundant content ("be thorough", "handle errors").
46
47	### 7. Action Space
48	Is model FREE to solve its own way? Or constrained to specific approach?
49
50	## What to Keep vs Drop
51
52	\| Priority \| Content \| Rule \|
53	\|----------\|---------\|------\|
54	\| 1 \| Core goal \| MUST keep \|
55	\| 1 \| Acceptance criteria \| MUST keep \|
56	\| 2 \| Novel constraints \| MUST keep \|
57	\| 2 \| Execution discipline \| MUST keep \|
58	\| 3 \| Output format (if non-standard) \| SHOULD keep \|
59	\| 4-9 \| Process, examples, explanations, obvious constraints \| CAN drop \|
60
61	Only flag missing Priority 1-2 content. Missing 4-9 is expected.
62
63	## Issue Types
64
65	\| Type \| Severity \| When \|
66	\|------\|----------\|------\|
67	\| Insufficient Compression \| CRITICAL \| Has headers, bullets, structure \|
68	\| Missing Core Goal \| CRITICAL \| Goal unclear \|
69	\| Missing Acceptance Criteria \| HIGH \| Success conditions missing \|
70	\| Missing Novel Constraint \| CRITICAL/HIGH \| Counter-intuitive rule missing \|
71	\| Goal Ambiguity \| CRITICAL/HIGH \| Could be interpreted multiple ways \|
72	\| Semantic Drift \| CRITICAL/HIGH \| Meaning changed \|
73	\| Over-Specification \| MEDIUM \| Constrains capability (recommend removal) \|
74	\| Training-Redundant \| LOW \| Model knows this (recommend removal) \|
75
76	## Output Format
77
78	```markdown
79	# Compression Verification Result
80
81	Status: VERIFIED \| ISSUES_FOUND
82	Original: {path}
83	Compressed: {path}
84
85	[If VERIFIED:]
86	Compression achieves goal clarity with maximum action space.
87
88	[If ISSUES_FOUND:]
89
90	## Critical Issues
91	### Issue 1: {brief}
92	Type: ...
93	Severity: CRITICAL \| HIGH
94	Original: "{quote}"
95	In Compressed: Not found \| Altered
96	Suggested Fix: {minimal text to add}
97
98	## Recommended Removals
99	### Removal 1: {what}
100	In Compressed: "{quote}"
101	Why Remove: Model does this naturally / constrains approach
102	```
103
104	## Key Questions Before Flagging
105
106	1. "Would model fail without this?" → YES = keep (novel constraint)
107	2. "Does this prevent cutting corners/forgetting/skipping?" → YES = keep (discipline)
108	3. Neither? → Remove (training-covered)
109
110	Never flag discipline as over-specification. "Write findings BEFORE proceeding" prevents context rot—it's essential.
