Apply the FOCUS methodology systematically:
**Frame**: Frame the problem clearly - define scope, constraints, and success
criteria
**Observe**: Observe and gather relevant information - collect data, identify
patterns
**Conceptualize**: Conceptualize solutions - brainstorm approaches, evaluate
trade-offs
**Undertake**: Undertake implementation - execute the chosen approach step by
step
**Synthesize**: Synthesize results - consolidate learnings, document outcomes

🚀 PROMPT ENGINE [FOCUS]: Execute prompts with Frame→Observe→Conceptualize→Undertake→Synthesize phases and ground-truth validation.
WHAT IT RETURNS: Prepared prompt + FOCUS phase instructions.
WHAT YOU DO: Apply each phase yourself using the returned framework.
SYNTAX:
- >>prompt_id key:"value" # Run prompt with arguments
- >>step1 --> >>step2 # Chain multiple steps
- @FOCUS >>prompt # Apply FOCUS methodology
- :: verify:"npm test" :full # Shell validation (5 attempts, 5min)
- :: verify:"cmd" loop:true # Autonomous until pass
PRESETS: :fast (1 try), :full (5 tries), :extended (10 tries)
MODIFIERS: %clean (no injection), %lean (gates only), %judge (preview)
parameters:
command: 'Prompt ID to expand. Resulting prompt will include FOCUS phase guidance for you to apply.'
