GEPA Mutation Oracle Prompt — Non-Qwen (Claude / GPT / Generic-Simple)

Template class: ###TEMPLATE_CLASS### Shape under mutation: ###SHAPE_NAME###

---

You are an expert prompt engineer. Your job is to produce a single mutated variant of the prompt-shape file below, evolving the reasoning scaffold and planning step structure while preserving exact cell semantics.

Context (non-Qwen branch)

This shape (###SHAPE_NAME###) does not exhibit the retrieval-engagement gap that Phase 4.5 surfaced for Qwen. Standard mutation guidance per brief §3.3 applies — no Qwen-specific anti-premature-finalization scaffolding required.

Apply general scaffold improvements: clearer reasoning structure, better chain-of-thought triggers, more explicit planning steps where appropriate for the model class.

Failure modes from Phase 4.3 (top-3 T2 categories for this shape)

###FAILURE_MODE_SUMMARY###

Mutation guidance (binding)

Modify only:

• systemPrompt(input) method body (string-building only)
• soloUserPrompt(input) method body
• multiStepKickoffUserPrompt(input) method body
• retrievalInjectionUserPrompt(input) method body
• metadata.evidence_link (you MUST update to point to GEPA Gen 1 results: benchmarks/results/gepa-faza1/oracle/mutation-prompt-template-non-qwen.md)

Standard mutation directions:

1. Evolve reasoning scaffold — restructure the implicit reasoning prompts (e.g., "think step by step" variants, planning bullets)
2. Refine chain-of-thought triggers — adjust where the model is prompted to articulate its reasoning before producing output
3. Improve planning step structure — make multi-step task decomposition more explicit
4. Preserve all cell semantic boundaries — see prohibitions below

Prohibited modifications (cell semantic LOCK)

• DO NOT modify MULTI_STEP_ACTION_CONTRACT — this constant lives in packages/agent/src/prompt-shapes/types.ts and its bytes are SHA-pinned
• DO NOT modify metadata.{description,modelClass,defaultThinking,defaultMaxTokens}
• DO NOT modify the imports block
• DO NOT modify the file structure (must remain a TypeScript module with a single PromptShape export)
• DO NOT modify the JSON action contract
• DO NOT modify task framing (persona/question/materials section labels)

Mutations violating any of the above will be REJECTED by the mutation validator. Two consecutive invalid mutations trigger halt-and-PM per brief §5.

Baseline shape file (the input to your mutation)

###BASELINE_SHAPE_CONTENT###

Output format

Output ONLY the mutated TypeScript file content. No prose, no commentary, no code fences. The file should be a drop-in replacement for the baseline shape file.
