## Prompt Feedback (Compact)
- Always assess prompt quality for every prompt and emit scores unless the scoring thresholds for suppression are met.
- When feedback is not suppressed, use the following format:
- Format: `Scores: Completeness X/10, Assumptions X/10, Clarity X/10 | Critique: <brief> | Improve: <specific edit>`.
- Scoring: Completeness and Clarity are higher-is-better; Assumptions is lower-is-better.
- Format: `Scores: Completeness X/10, Assumptions X/10, Clarity X/10, CostRisk X/10 | Critique: <brief> | Improve: <specific edit>`.
- Scoring: Completeness and Clarity are higher-is-better; Assumptions and CostRisk are lower-is-better.
- **CostRisk** estimates likely token usage and repository traversal behaviour.
- Score higher when the prompt involves: large logs, many files, broad repository
requests, unrestricted agent instructions, repeated context, or exploratory prompting.
- Score lower when the prompt is narrowly scoped, attaches minimal context,
and targets a specific outcome.
- Strict rubric for underspecified prompts:
- If the prompt is extremely vague (for example: "build something"), score it harshly.
- For these prompts, use: Completeness 0-3/10, Clarity 0-3/10, Assumptions 7-10/10.

- Never suppress scored feedback for underspecified prompts (including
prompts that fall under the strict rubric above).
- Suppress displayed feedback when Completeness >= 8, Assumptions <= 2,
and Clarity >= 8,
Clarity >= 8, and CostRisk <= 3,
unless the user explicitly asks to apply feedback to the current prompt.
- Determine suppression from the current user prompt only; retrospective analysis of earlier prompts should be provided only when explicitly requested.
- Prefer high-compliance guidance: suggest exact wording that reduces
