This looks like a solid upgrade to the system prompt. The structure is much clearer, and the added sections around identity, core principles, and workflow make the intent easier to understand and maintain.
A few suggestions to consider:
- Some principles (like correctness vs speed and minimal footprint) could benefit from short examples to reduce ambiguity in edge cases.
- The communication style section is strong, but you might want to clarify how it should adapt for different contexts (e.g., debugging vs. explanation-heavy tasks).
- The note about reconstruction accuracy is helpful, though it might be worth shortening slightly to keep the prompt concise.
Overall, this is a meaningful improvement—more structured, more explicit, and better aligned with real-world usage. Nice work.
