+Write each file directly, reading completed ones first:
 
-1. **`proposal.md`** — problem, proposed change, scope, risks. If Work Item context is available, use its title/description as the problem statement, acceptance criteria as the requirements basis, and include a `## Related Work Item` section: `**#{id}** — {title} ({type}) · Project: {project}`.
-2. **`specs/<capability>/spec.md`** — one spec file per capability the change touches, with `## ADDED Requirements` / `#### Scenario:` blocks in WHEN/THEN form. Skip only when the change specifies no behavior, and say why.

 4. **`tasks.md`** — phased `- [ ]` checklist of small, independently verifiable tasks.

 ### 5. Show final status
 
-Summarize:
-
-- Change name and location
-- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
-- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
-- Prompt: "Run `ancleto-apply` to start implementing."
-
-## Artifact Creation Guidelines
-
-- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones.
-- Use the fixed templates above as structure — fill in their sections.
-- Keep each artifact focused on its own concern (what / how / steps / requirements).
-- **IMPORTANT**: project background and constraints guide what you write but must never appear as blocks in the output files.
+Report change name/location and artifacts created, then: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation. Run `ancleto-apply`."
 
 ## Guardrails
 
 - Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation in this single run (proposal, specs, design, tasks).
-- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one.
-- If context is critically unclear, ask the user — but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum.
