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.

Parallel Structure and Consistency

Opus: Maintains consistent style, format, and level of detail across multiple similar outputs within a single response.

Haiku: First few items in a list are well-formed. Quality and consistency degrade after item 4-5. Later items may be shorter, less detailed, or structurally different from earlier ones.

Mitigation: Provide a template and enforce it per-item.

For each item, output EXACTLY this structure:
**Name**: [name]
**Category**: [one of: A, B, C]
**Summary**: [one sentence, 10-20 words]
**Score**: [integer 1-10]

Do not vary this structure between items.

For long lists (>5 items), consider:

  • Processing in batches of 5
  • Including a "format checkpoint" instruction: "After every 5th item, verify your format matches the template."
  • Using JSON arrays (structural enforcement is stronger than prose)

If generating comparative content (pros/cons for multiple options), provide the comparison scaffold:

| Criterion | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|-----------|----------|----------|----------|
| Cost      | ...      | ...      | ...      |
| Speed     | ...      | ...      | ...      |

Tables enforce parallel structure mechanically.
