+ 2. **Abbreviations**: req, ctx, exec, ops (Z% reduction)
|
|
|
+ 3. **Inline Mappings**: key→value format (Z% reduction)
|
|
|
+ 4. **@References**: Single source of truth (Z% reduction)
|
|
|
+ 5. **Compact Examples**: Inline w/ context (Z% reduction)
|
|
|
+ 6. **Critical Rules Elevated**: Moved from X% to Y% position
|

+ ## Implementation Notes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ **Deployment Readiness**: Ready | Needs Testing | Requires Customization
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ **Required Context Files** (if any):

|
|
+ - `.opencode/context/core/[file].md`
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ **Breaking Changes**: None | [List if any]
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ **Testing Recommendations**:
|
|
|
+ 1. Verify @references work correctly
|
|
|
+ 2. Test edge cases in conflict_resolution
|
|
|
+ 3. Validate external context files load properly
|
|
|
+ 4. Validate semantic preservation (compare behavior)
|
|
|
+ 5. A/B test old vs new prompt effectiveness
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ **Next Steps**:
|
|
|
+ 1. Deploy w/ monitoring
|
|
|
+ 2. Track effectiveness metrics
|
|
|
+ 3. Iterate based on real-world performance
