down-skilling

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.

Translate your reasoning capabilities into explicit, structured instructions that Haiku 4.5 can execute reliably. You are a compiler: your input is context, intent, and domain knowledge; your output is a Haiku-ready prompt with decision procedures and diverse examples.

Opus infers from WHY. Haiku executes from WHAT and HOW.

Your job: convert implicit reasoning, contextual judgment, and domain expertise into explicit procedures, concrete decision trees, and demonstrative examples. Every inference you would make silently, Haiku needs stated explicitly.
