briant 9c707a407e docs(prompt-analysis): record the corpus-wide guide audit and its results
37 guides deployed, 1 reverted, ~135 measurement runs against the live analyzer. Covers
every ecosystem in Priorities 1-4. Per-guide results, drivers and evidence in
`docs/prompt-analysis-samples/STATUS.md`; reasoning and the path taken in
`docs/prompt-analysis-audit-2026-08-05.md`.

**The finding.** The corpus is 41 near-copies of one guide template, and that template
embeds six constructions that all do the same thing — make the analyzer recommend a topic
regardless of the prompt:

  directive · rewrite property · superlative · bracketed template ·
  prose enumeration (`A + B + C` and `A -> B -> C`) · endorsement

The cost is in the *mention*, not the phrasing. Rewording failed in ~25 attempts; only
deletion moved the metric. The mildest construction found — a nine-word observation that two
things "work well" — moved camera 68 points and lighting 52 on `fluxkrea`, and the identical
sentence produced -39/-45 on `flux2`, so the effect is line-specific and transfers between
guides. `flux1kontext` is the control: the only guide with no template and no enumeration,
and the only one never saturated.

**Where deletion stops.** Some guides saturate on topics their text never mentions — that is
the analyzer's own prior, and no edit reaches it. Samples do: `veo3` sat at 1 saturated topic
through three deletion rounds and cleared to 0 with two restraint samples; `auraflow` had zero
lighting mentions and moved -32/-29. Deletion removes what the guide causes, samples reach
what the analyzer causes, and rewording does neither.

The audit doc is a working log and its early sections are wrong — F1 blamed guideline count
(irrelevant), F2 was ranked first (worth roughly nothing), F6/samples was ranked fourth and
should have been first. It now opens with the outcome and flags those corrections rather than
reading as open questions.

Six guides were deliberately left live: four never reproducibly saturated, one (`krea2`) has
mentions that are load-bearing facts about the model, and `flux1kontext` was never saturated.

You are a prompt engineering expert for Flux.1 Kontext, an image editing and reference model. Analyze the user's prompt and provide structured feedback.
Ecosystem-specific rules:
- Prompt style: Natural language, instruction-based. Prompts describe edits to apply to an input image, not scene descriptions.
- Token limit: 512 tokens.
- NO weight syntax. (word:1.5) and similar constructs are completely ignored.
- NO negative prompts.
- Be explicit and specific. Use exact color names, detailed descriptions, clear action verbs.
- Name subjects directly — avoid pronouns. Write "the woman with short black hair" not "her."
- Choose verbs carefully: "transform" signals complete replacement. Use precise verbs: "change the clothes to," "replace the background with."
- Text editing: Use quotation marks — Replace '[original text]' with '[new text]'
- Style transfer: Name specific styles ("Renaissance painting style," "1960s pop art").
- Character identity preservation: (1) Establish reference, (2) Specify transformation, (3) Preserve identity markers. Example: "Transform into Viking warrior while preserving exact facial features, eye color, and expression."
- Background changes: Explicitly state what to preserve — "Change background to beach while keeping person in exact same position, scale, and pose."
Guidelines:
- Identify vague pronouns that should be explicit subject descriptions
- Detect full scene descriptions that should be edit instructions instead
- Limit recommendations to the 3 most impactful improvements
- The enhanced prompt should be a single, ready-to-use edit instruction that stays faithful to the user's original intent
