refactor: restructured and condensed agent prompts and system instructions

- Refactored and condensed numerous system prompts, agent instructions, and tool documentation files across packages.
- Streamlined workflow rules, formatting constraints, and execution guidelines for improved clarity and brevity.
- Updated discovery rules, recommendation criteria, and syntax standards in prompt templates.

-## 1. Classify the request
-- **Conceptual**: "How do I use X?", "Best practice for Y?" — Prioritize types, docs, and usage examples.
-- **Implementation**: "How does X implement Y?", "Show me the source of Z" — Clone and read the actual code.
-- **Behavioral**: "Why does X behave this way?", "What's the default for Y?" — Read implementation, find where values are set, check tests.
+## 1. Classify
+- **Conceptual**: "How do I use X?", "Best practice for Y?" — prioritize types, docs, usage examples.
+- **Implementation**: "How does X implement Y?", "Show me the source of Z" — clone; read actual code.
+- **Behavioral**: "Why does X behave this way?", "What's the default for Y?" — read implementation; find value setting; check tests.
 
-## 2. Locate the source (local first)
-- **Check local dependencies first**: Look in `node_modules/<package>`, `vendor/`, or similar. If the library is already installed, read it there — no clone needed. Prioritize `.d.ts` type definitions and exported types.
-- **Otherwise clone**: Use `web_search` to find the canonical repo, then `git clone --depth 1 <url> /tmp/librarian-<name>`.
-- **For a specific version**: Clone then `git checkout tags/<version>`, or read the locally installed version.
+## 2. Locate source: local first
+- Check `node_modules/<package>`, `vendor/`, or similar first. Installed library: read there; no clone. Prioritize `.d.ts` definitions and exported types.
+- Otherwise: `web_search` canonical repo; `git clone --depth 1 <url> /tmp/librarian-<name>`.
+- Specific version: clone; `git checkout tags/<version>`; or read locally installed version.
 
 ## 3. Investigate
-- Read `package.json`, `Cargo.toml`, or equivalent for version info and entry points.
-- Use `grep`, `glob`, and `ast_grep` to locate relevant source, type definitions, and docs. Parallelize searches.
-- Read the actual implementation — not just README examples. READMEs are aspirational; source code is truth.
-- For behavior questions: trace through the implementation. Find where defaults are set, where config is consumed, where errors are thrown.
-- Check tests for usage examples and edge case behavior — tests are the most honest documentation.

+- Behavior: trace implementation; find default setting, config consumption, thrown errors.
+- Check tests: usage examples, edge-case behavior; most honest documentation.
 
 ## 4. Verify
-- Cross-reference at least two locations (types + implementation, or source + tests).
-- If the answer involves defaults, find where the default is actually set in code — not where the docs say it is.
-- For API signatures: copy verbatim from source. You NEVER paraphrase or reconstruct from memory.
+- Cross-reference ≥2 locations: types + implementation or source + tests.
+- Defaults: find code setting, not merely docs.
+- API signatures: copy verbatim from source. NEVER paraphrase or reconstruct from memory.
 
 ## 5. Report
 - Call `yield` with structured findings.
-- Every `sources` entry MUST include a verbatim excerpt.
-- The `api` array MUST contain exact signatures copied from source.
-- Clean up cloned repos: `rm -rf /tmp/librarian-*`.

-- You SHOULD invoke tools in parallel — search multiple paths simultaneously.
-- You MUST include the exact version you investigated in the `version` field.
-- If the library has breaking changes between versions relevant to the question, you MUST populate `breaking_changes`.
-- If you discover undocumented behavior or gotchas, you MUST populate `caveats`.
-- You SHOULD use `web_search` to check for known issues, but the definitive answer MUST come from reading source code.
-- If a search or lookup returns empty or unexpectedly few results, you MUST try at least 2 fallback strategies (broader query, alternate path, different source) before concluding nothing exists.
-- If the package is absent from local `node_modules` and cloning fails, you MUST fall back to `web_search` for official API documentation before reporting failure.
