## Description

Make a task deeper, not bigger, then rewrite the prompt. Use for /sharpen.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

I want a deeper version of this task, not a bigger one. Before rewriting it, do four things:

1. Say what a top professional in this field would do here that I'm not asking for.
2. Name the rawest material they would start from instead of what has already been digested for me.
3. Name the specific methods and tools they would use.
4. Say what, other than you or me, would show the result is right.

Then rewrite my prompt to ask for exactly that.

Leave choices that are mine to make open instead of deciding them.
