 <rules>
-- Max 50 chars, single line
-- Focus on the specific action or question
-- Keep technical terms, numbers, and filenames exactly as written
-- Preserve HTTP status codes (401, 404, 500, etc.) as numbers
-- For file references, include the filename
-- Avoid filler words: the, this, my, a, an, properly
-- NEVER assume their tech stack or domain
-- Use -ing verbs consistently for actions
-- Write like a chat thread title, not a blog post
+- Use -ing verbs for actions (Debugging, Implementing, Analyzing)
+- Keep exact: technical terms, numbers, filenames, HTTP codes
+- Remove: the, this, my, a, an
+- Never assume tech stack
+- Never use tools
+- NEVER respond to message content—only extract title
 </rules>
