iterate-until-verified

Apply a prompt-agnostic execution and verification loop to any substantial task while preserving the original request. Use when the user asks to fan out work, use subagents or independent reviewers, loop until done, benchmark against references, apply a harsh critic, compare candidates blind, improve an existing prompt with verification, or continue until explicit quality gates pass.

# Iterate Until Verified

Preserve the task. Strengthen the process around it.

## Choose the mode

- **Execute:** Complete the original task with the workflow below. Use this mode by default.
- **Compose:** When the user asks for an improved prompt rather than the finished work, return a reusable prompt wrapper. Keep the original task authoritative and unchanged inside the wrapper.

Do not silently switch from composing a prompt to executing it.

## 1. Lock the original task
