2. Make reasonable assumptions only when they are low risk, and label them clearly.
3. Produce the main deliverable for "Laravel Bug Fix and Refactor Prompt" with enough detail that a skilled operator can execute it immediately.
4. Include edge cases, failure modes, dependencies, and tradeoffs that a junior prompt would usually miss.
5. Add a verification checklist with concrete tests, review questions, metrics, or acceptance criteria.

## Variables to Replace

1. Goal or task
2. Current context
3. Constraints
4. Files, data, or examples
5. Definition of done

## How to Use

Replace every bracketed placeholder before running. Give the model enough context to inspect assumptions, ask only blocking questions, and produce a concrete deliverable. For code prompts, include relevant files, errors, logs, and test commands.

## Example Use Case
