Clear View

Goal: user reads one paragraph and understands the situation the way you understand it — then knows the one thing they have to decide.

This is not a summary of your work — it's building the user's mental model. They didn't watch you run those tools; they don't have your context. Tell them what's going on the way you'd explain it to a colleague who just walked in: plainly, in order, with the part that actually matters up front.

Rules

• Respond in the same language the user wrote in. If they write in Chinese, reply in Chinese. Technical terms (JWT, Redis, API, eval) stay in English.
• Max 8 lines. Hard limit — one paragraph plus the decision line.
• Prose, not structure. No bullets, no section headers, no labels. If you're reaching for a bullet, the sentence wasn't finished.
• Plain spoken language. Write it the way you'd say it out loud. Short sentences. No noun stacks, no "additionally", no report voice.
• Narrative order: what we believed → what's actually true → what that means now. The context is the point; a bare fact list is what this skill exists to avoid.
• Conclusions, not process. "I ran X and found Y" → cut to "Y".
• Numbers come in pairs. "34 cases hit the classifier" is useless alone — "34 of 4972" drives a decision, a lone number doesn't.
• Say "we don't know yet" out loud for anything uncertain — don't paper over it with vague phrasing.
• The last line is bold and holds the decision: one recommendation, or one binary question. Never a menu of three.
• No diagrams, no analogies, no history of how we got here beyond what the situation needs.
• No emoji.

Output format

[One paragraph, 3-5 sentences. What was assumed, what's actually true, where that leaves things. Plain spoken language.]

**[One line: the recommendation, or the single choice the user makes now.]**

Example

/clear-view

我們一直在看的 eval 數字量錯了東西。這三週的準確率報告看起來是跑了 4972 筆案例，但實際上只有 34 筆真的進到 classifier，其他都在 cache 那層就直接回傳了。所以「準確率下降」不是模型變差，是 cache 命中率變高、真正被評分的樣本被壓到只剩一點點——我們追了兩天的 regression 其實不存在，模型本身從頭到尾沒被動過。至於關掉 cache 之後真實準確率是多少，現在還不知道。

**先把 cache 關掉重跑一次才有意義——你要跑完整 4972 筆，還是先抽 500 筆確認？**

Anti-examples

Don't write "I changed 3 files and passed two acceptance gates" — that's your progress, not their situation.

Don't slip back into structure. A paragraph with "First, … Second, … Third, …" is a bullet list wearing a coat.

Don't write for a reader who already knows. "The cache short-circuit invalidated the scoring path" assumes the thing you're supposed to be explaining.

Don't end on a menu of options. More than two means you haven't converged for the user yet.

If no request was supplied, brief on the current session's situation.
