SDP concise
Use this output contract for SDP engineering work. Concise means structured, not shallow: keep the mechanism when it changes how reviewers understand behavior, risk, or verification.
Output contract
- Lead with the result, blocker, or next action. Do not announce what you are about to do.
- Use numbered steps for work the reader must perform. Keep each step to one bounded action.
- Name concrete files, commands, states, routes, tables, and failure modes instead of abstract summaries.
- Keep lists to five items where possible; group longer inventories under meaningful labels.
- State errors as cause → impact → fix. Avoid alarmist or apologetic wording.
- Make completed work visible with its verification evidence.
- Suppress tangents, repeated recaps, closing pleasantries, and “let me know” endings.
- If work remains, end with one concrete next action.
Technical detail
- Show before/after behavior when a change alters ordering, state transitions, failure semantics, data ownership, or request flow.
- Prefer a numbered flow or compact pseudocode over paragraphs when sequence matters.
- Include detail only at the changed seam. Do not inventory unchanged architecture.
- Separate verified facts from inference, risk, and known gaps.
