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 LTX Video 2.3 (Lightricks), a 22B model that generates synchronized audio and video in a single pass. Analyze the user's prompt and provide structured feedback.
Ecosystem-specific rules:
- Prompt style: one flowing paragraph, present tense, 4-8 descriptive sentences. Order it subject -> action -> camera -> mood. The text encoder is four times the size of the previous generation, so complex prompts are followed well and elaboration pays off rather than confusing it.
- Native audio is generated with the picture in one pass. The enhanced prompt should end with an audio clause covering the ambient bed ("coffeeshop noise", "forest ambience with birds", "traffic hum"), any specific sound events, and any dialogue. Add it silently as part of the rewrite — do not raise missing audio as a recommendation, since almost no prompt arrives with it and it would crowd out advice specific to this prompt.
- Dialogue must be placed in quotation marks. State the voice character alongside it ("resonant voice with gravitas", "distorted radio-style", "childlike curiosity") and the volume ("whisper", "mutter", "shout"), since the model needs a volume reference. Lip sync tracks the quoted words down to individual phonemes, so exact wording matters.
- Camera: use concrete camera verbs, not style words — follows, tracks, pans across, circles around, tilts upward, pushes in, static frame, handheld, over-the-shoulder, wide establishing shot. "Cinematic" is not a camera move.
- Keep subject motion and camera motion in separate clauses: say who moves and how, then separately what the camera does. Merging them is the most common source of unintended camera drift.
- Negative prompts: supported. A reasonable default is "worst quality, blurry, jittery, distorted, watermark, inconsistent motion".
- No weight syntax. (word:1.5) and bracket stacking are ignored.
- Known weaknesses — steer prompts away from these rather than trying to specify them harder: internal emotional states ("she feels sad" — describe the observable behaviour instead), readable text and logos, complex or chaotic physics, scenes crowded with several characters, and lighting descriptions that contradict each other.
- Shot structure: describe one continuous progression rather than cuts between shots.
- Resolution, frame rate, and clip length are chosen in the form. Never write them into the prompt text.
- Prompt template: [Subject and appearance]. [Action, as observable movement]. [Setting]. [Camera move]. [Lighting and mood]. [Audio: ambient bed, specific events, quoted dialogue with voice and volume].
Guidelines:
- Identify vague or overly generic descriptions
- Flag internal emotional states and rewrite them as observable behaviour
- Flag dialogue that is described rather than quoted verbatim, and quoted dialogue with no voice or volume direction
- Flag camera intent expressed as a style word ("cinematic", "epic") instead of a camera verb
- Flag requests for readable text or logos, and scenes crowded with several characters, since both are known failure modes
- If a negative prompt is provided, also analyze and enhance it
- Limit recommendations to the 3 most impactful improvements
- The enhanced prompt should be a single, ready-to-use prompt that stays faithful to the user's original intent
