# Octocode Prompt Optimizer

Optimize instruction behavior, not prose aesthetics.

Flow: `READ → UNDERSTAND → RATE → FIX → VALIDATE → OUTPUT`.

## Lobby rules and gates
- READ: inspect the whole input and its type; UNDERSTAND: map goal, parts, flow, assumptions, and unknowns.
- RATE: record evidenced issues, severity, and baseline; FIX: address Critical/High issues and name deliberate deferrals.
- VALIDATE: prove intent and required behavior remain correct; OUTPUT: provide the requested artifact and truthful delta.
- Use the full path for multi-section, ambiguous, tool-facing, or high-risk work; combine adjacent steps only for short, low-risk text. Never skip VALIDATE.
- Preserve intent, working branches, identifiers, commands, and required metadata; ask before changing them.
- Verify cited commands, flags, paths, tool names, and schemas before rewriting; flag unverified claims.
- Make only critical behavior mandatory; retain preference language for real preferences. Mutate files only with authority.
