The prompt did not specify advanced gameplay.

I do not see instructions to assist in task decomposition and agent ~"motivation" to stay aligned over long periods as cargo culting.

See up thread for anecdotes [1].

> Decompose the user's query into all required sub-requests and confirm that each one is completed. Do not stop after completing only part of the request. Only terminate your turn when you are sure the problem is solved.

I see this as a portrayal of the strength of 5.5, since it suggests the ability to be assigned this clearly important role to ~one shot requests like this.

I've been using a cli-ai-first task tool I wrote to process complex "parent" or "umberella" into decomposed subtasks and then execute on them.

This has allowed my workflows to float above the ups and downs of model performance.

That said, having the AI do the planning for a big request like this internally is not good outside a demo.

Because, you want the planning of the AI to be part of the historical context and available for forensics due to stalls, unwound details or other unexpected issues at any point along the way.
