    "category": "clarity",
    "description": "Long descriptions cost context and can dilute the signal of what matters most; the goal is not the shortest possible description, but the shortest description that still unambiguously conveys behavior, required parameters, and edge cases. Cutting real information to save space is a false economy.",
    "example_good": "A 2-3 sentence description that states behavior, key parameters, and one caveat, with no filler words.",
    "example_bad": "A verbose description padded with generic phrases (\"This powerful and versatile tool can help you...\") that add length without adding information.",
    "source_note": "General best practice; consistent with subagentprompts.com's own catalog entries, which are written to be brief but information-dense rather than padded.",
