Generate a complete working draft before asking clarifying questions, ensuring assumptions are clearly marked.

Concrete Draft Before Clarifying Questions

Task: {{task}}.

Do not open with questions. First produce a complete first version using the information already in this message and the conversation, making reasonable assumptions where something is missing. Label each assumption inline in square brackets so I can spot it.

Then, under a heading "Decisions for you", list at most {{max-questions}} questions, each one paired with the default you already applied and what would change if I answer differently. Skip any question whose answer would not change the result.

If a decision in {{must-confirm}} is reached, stop at that point, show what you have, and wait.
