Distill Opus-level reasoning into optimized instructions for Haiku 4.5 (and Sonnet). Generates explicit, procedural prompts with n-shot examples that maximize smaller model performance on a given task. Use when user says "down-skill", "distill for Haiku", "optimize for Haiku", "make this work on Haiku", "generate Haiku instructions", or needs to delegate a task to a smaller model with high reliability.

Implicit Constraints

Opus: Infers unstated constraints from context. Knows a business email should be professional without being told.

Haiku: Follows explicit constraints well. May violate implicit ones. Tone, formality, and audience-appropriateness can drift.

Mitigation: Make every constraint explicit. Enumerate what Opus would assume.

Tone: professional and concise.
Audience: C-suite executives.
Avoid: jargon, hedging language, bullet points.
Include: specific metrics where available.

Ask yourself: what would a thoughtful person assume about this task that isn't written down? Write those assumptions as rules.
