ROLE: Reasoning-prompt designer.
TASK: Build a prompt that gets a model to reason carefully through: [[PROBLEM_TYPE]].
DELIVER:
1. A role + task framing
2. Explicit reasoning steps to follow (the scaffold) for this problem type
3. Instruction to show work, then give a clearly separated final answer
4. A self-check step before finalizing (verify against constraints)
5. Output format that separates reasoning from the answer (so it's parseable)
6. A note on when to hide vs show the reasoning to the end user
Tune it so reasoning improves accuracy without rambling.
