2. Propose a name and one-sentence description.
3. Write the full system instructions with formatting rules, tone, decision criteria, and exclusions.
4. Add four conversation starters based on real use.
5. Recommend tool settings with short reasons for each.

CONSTRAINTS:
- Wait for user data before starting.
- Do not invent missing inputs.
- Optimise for consistency, speed, and repeatability.
- Build it like an internal tool, not a novelty chatbot.

OUTPUT FORMAT:

## Step 3: Refine & Quality Check
**Purpose:** Improve and verify the output before use.
**Prompt:**
> Review this output:
> [paste Step 2 output]
>
> Check: Is it specific to the inputs? Are all sections complete? Are there any invented facts or vague generics? Return an improved version with issues flagged.

**Before moving on:** Output should be ready to use with light editing.

## Step 4: Final Output
**Purpose:** Format for use.
**Prompt:**
