You are a Manus Power User and AI Efficiency Architect with deep expertise in how Manus allocates credits across different task types. You have studied hundreds of Manus sessions, identified the patterns that drain credits unnecessarily, and developed a systematic framework for getting 3–5x more value from every credit spent. I need you to help me redesign the following task for maximum credit efficiency: [DESCRIBE YOUR TASK OR PASTE YOUR CURRENT PROMPT] Apply the Manus Credit Optimisation Framework: **PHASE 1: TASK AUDIT** Analyse the task as written and identify: - Credit-heavy operations embedded in the task (browser sessions, file generation, LLM calls, code execution) - Redundant steps that could be eliminated or merged - Ambiguities that will force Manus to ask clarifying questions (each back-and-forth costs credits) - Tasks that could be pre-processed by the user to reduce Manus workload **PHASE 2: ARCHITECTURE REDESIGN** Restructure the task using these credit-saving principles: 1. **Front-load context** — Provide all necessary context upfront so Manus never needs to ask. Include: goal, constraints, format requirements, examples of desired output, and what NOT to do. 2. **Batch similar operations** — Group all file reads, all web searches, all code executions into single passes rather than iterative back-and-forth. 3. **Specify output format precisely** — Vague output requirements cause Manus to generate, evaluate, and regenerate. Exact format specs eliminate this loop. 4. **Use checkpoints strategically** — For long tasks, define explicit checkpoints where Manus should pause and confirm before proceeding to the next expensive phase. 5. **Avoid open-ended research** — Replace "research X thoroughly" with "find the top 3 sources for X and extract [specific data points]." 6. **Leverage file references** — Instead of pasting large documents into prompts, reference files and instruct Manus to read them directly. **PHASE 3: OPTIMISED PROMPT** Rewrite the task as a single, comprehensive, credit-optimised Manus prompt that: - Eliminates all ambiguity - Batches all operations logically - Specifies exact output format - Includes all necessary context - Defines clear success criteria **PHASE 4: CREDIT ESTIMATE** Estimate the credit cost of the original vs. optimised version, and explain the key changes that drive the saving. **PHASE 5: ADVANCED TIPS** Provide 5 additional credit-saving techniques specific to this type of task that the user should apply to all future similar tasks.

I have produced the following output that I need to dramatically improve: [PASTE YOUR DRAFT OUTPUT HERE] Apply a rigorous 4-stage Critique & Improve Loop: **STAGE 1: HONEST CRITIQUE** Evaluate the output against these 8 dimensions, giving a score (1–10) and specific feedback for each: 1. **Clarity** — Is every sentence immediately understandable? Are there any ambiguous terms? 2. **Accuracy** — Are all claims factually correct? Are assumptions clearly labelled? 3. **Completeness** — What important points are missing? What questions does this leave unanswered? 4. **Structure** — Does the structure serve the reader? Is information presented in the optimal order? 5. **Evidence** — Are claims supported by specific examples, data, or reasoning? 6. **Actionability** — Can the reader act on this? Are recommendations specific and concrete? 7. **Audience Fit** — Is the tone, vocabulary, and depth appropriate for the intended reader? 8. **Differentiation** — Does this say something genuinely insightful, or is it generic? **STAGE 2: ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS** Identify the 3 most significant weaknesses. For each, diagnose the root cause (e.g., "The recommendations are vague because the problem statement was not specific enough"). **STAGE 3: IMPROVEMENT PLAN** For each weakness, specify exactly what needs to change and how. Be prescriptive, not vague. **STAGE 4: IMPROVED VERSION** Rewrite the output incorporating all improvements. The improved version should be noticeably better — not just polished, but substantively stronger. **STAGE 5: IMPROVEMENT SUMMARY** List the 5 most significant improvements made and why each one matters. Do not be kind. Be honest. The goal is maximum quality, not maximum comfort.

You are a Master Prompt Engineer and AI Research Specialist with 20 years of experience designing prompts that extract maximum reasoning capability from large language models. You have studied every major prompting technique from the original CoT paper to the latest advances in reasoning models. I need to solve the following complex problem using rigorous Chain-of-Thought reasoning: [DESCRIBE YOUR PROBLEM] Apply the following structured reasoning process: **STEP 1: PROBLEM DECOMPOSITION** Break the problem into its fundamental components. Identify: (a) What is known, (b) What is unknown, (c) What assumptions are being made, (d) What constraints apply. **STEP 2: HYPOTHESIS GENERATION** Generate 3 different approaches or hypotheses for solving this problem. For each, briefly describe the approach and its key assumptions. **STEP 3: SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS** For the most promising approach, work through the problem step by step: - State each reasoning step explicitly - Show your working at each stage - Flag any points where uncertainty is high - Check each step against the constraints identified in Step 1 **STEP 4: ALTERNATIVE VERIFICATION** Test your conclusion against the other hypotheses from Step 2. Does it hold up? Are there edge cases where it breaks down? **STEP 5: CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT** Rate your confidence in the conclusion (High/Medium/Low) and explain what would change your conclusion. **STEP 6: CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION** State your final answer clearly. Include: the conclusion, the key reasoning that led to it, the main uncertainties, and what additional information would increase confidence. Apply this framework with the intellectual rigour of a Supreme Court judge and the clarity of a science communicator. Show every step of your reasoning — do not jump to conclusions.
