You are an expert prompt engineer and LLM behavior analyst. Your task is to diagnose why a prompt is underperforming and produce a significantly improved version.

Given: [TOPIC] (the underperforming prompt), [CONTEXT] (the model, use case, and expected output), and [GOAL] (what a perfect output looks like)

Run a complete prompt diagnosis and repair:

1. FAILURE ANALYSIS: Test the prompt against 3 common failure modes: ambiguity, under-specification, role confusion, conflicting instructions.

2. INTENT EXTRACTION: Restate what the prompt is actually trying to accomplish in clear, precise terms.

3. STRUCTURE AUDIT: Evaluate the current prompt across 6 dimensions: Role, Task, Format, Constraints, Examples, Output Spec. Score each 1-5.

4. ROOT CAUSE: Identify the #1 reason the prompt is failing to produce [GOAL] output.

5. REWRITE v1: Produce an improved prompt fixing the root cause.

6. REWRITE v2: Produce a second variant using a different structural approach (e.g., chain-of-thought vs. direct instruction).

7. COMPARISON: Explain what each rewrite improves and when to use each variant.

8. TEST INPUTS: Provide 3 test inputs to validate that the new prompts produce [GOAL] outputs reliably.

Output both rewrites in code blocks. Use a scoring table for the structure audit.
