 ## Output Format
 
+The goal of the output is to produce an output
+
 Return:
-1. A short architecture explanation.
-2. Full file tree.
-3. Complete contents for each file.
-4. Run instructions (dev and prod).
-5. A brief section explaining how to add a new page module in `pages/`.
+- A concise, high-level architecture explanation.
+- An explanation of how the different parts of the concept will fit into this structure
+    - What are the core services?
+    - What are the main ui pages?
+    - What are the main ui components?
+    - Whether a database will be involved and whether the app owns the database
+    - Whether any AI will be used and what the workflow looks like
+- A concrete implementation plan in the form of a checklist, organized into sections by concept which should roughly mirror the structure of sub-packages.
+    - Key functions/classes
+    - Configuration/settings available
+	- Migration or rollout notes (if relevant)
 
 ## Guardrails
 
-- Prefer not to put all pages in one file.
-- Avoid relying on implicit globals for app setup.
+- Do not put all pages in a single file.
+- Never use globals, implicit or otherwise.
 - Keep code minimal but production-minded.
+- Being clear and concise is a higher priority than being verbose.
 - Prefer clarity and maintainability over clever abstractions.
