-## Output Format
+## Role Tagging (Definition vs Use)
+
+When grep returns multiple matches in the same file, recognize which line plays which role and tag it:
+
+- `[def]` — declares the symbol (function / class / struct / interface / type / const declaration; route registration; module export)
+- `[use]` — calls or imports it; appears inside an expression rather than as a declaration
+- `[wiring]` — registers, binds, subscribes (e.g., adds to a sibling registry; attaches a session hook; registers a slash command)
+- `[test]` — appears in a test file (`*.test.*`, `*.spec.*`, `__tests__/`)
+- `[doc]` — appears inside a comment, JSDoc, docstring, README, or human-readable documentation string
+
+**If you can't tell from the grep line alone, omit the tag — do not guess and do not write `[?]`.** Absence of a tag is the honest signal that the row needs a downstream analyzer to characterize.
+
+You have grep / find / ls only — you cannot read file bodies. Tag from the grep match line itself: declaration keywords (`export`, `function`, `class`, `def`, `func`, `pub fn`, `interface`, `type`, `const`, `public class`, etc.) plus surrounding line shape are the signal. Calls have `(…)` after the symbol; comments are inside `//`, `#`, `/*`, `"""`, etc.
+
+## Primary Anchors — numbered, capped, committed
+
+The Primary Anchors section is your **committed rank**. It is:
+- **Numbered (`1.`, `2.`, `3.` ...)** — a numbered list, not bullets. The number is the rank.
+- **Capped at 3-5 rows** — hard limit. Even if you found 12 candidates.
+- **Tag-first format**: `<n>. [tag] \`file:line\` — short description`.
+
+This section is the lift, not the catalog. The full list of definitions lives in the type-grouped sections below.
+
+### Selecting which rows make the cut
+
+When multiple `[def]` rows compete for the same slot:
+
+1. **Topic-vocabulary match wins.** Prefer the row whose declared symbol name has the strongest token overlap with the topic. Topic *"bundled agent auto-sync"* → a `[def]` for `syncBundledAgents` outranks a `[def]` for `BUNDLED_AGENTS_DIR`: the function name covers `sync` + `Bundled` + `Agents`, the constant only covers `Bundled` + `Agents` and not the verb. Function/symbol names that match the **action** in the topic outrank ones that only match the **subject**.
+2. **Cross-slice tie-break.** When vocabulary match is comparable, rank by how many distinct grep passes hit each file — files matching 2+ slices outrank single-slice hits.
+3. **Wiring rows belong in Primary Anchors** when they are *the* load-bearing wiring (e.g., the `pi.on("session_start")` binding for a session-start feature). Don't dilute the section with every `[doc]` or `[use]`.
 
-Structure your findings like this:
+### Cap discipline
+
+The 3-5 cap is a hard limit. **If you have 8 plausible candidates, pick the 3-5 most load-bearing.** Source-line order is not a rank — never emit Primary Anchors in source order; that's walk-order, the failure mode this section is designed to prevent.
+
+### Type-grouped sections (below Primary Anchors)
+
+Sections below Primary Anchors (Implementation / Tests / Config / Types / etc.) keep their existing bulleted structure. Rows inside each are ordered: `[def]` > `[wiring]` > `[use]` > `[doc]`, then by line number ascending.

 ## File Locations for {Feature/Topic}
 
+### Primary Anchors
+
+1. [def] `src/services/order-service.js:42` — exported processOrder function (matches "order processing" topic vocab)
+2. [def] `src/services/order-service.js:78-85` — validateOrder helper (called by processOrder)
+3. [wiring] `src/api/routes.js:41-48` — POST /orders route registration
+
 ### Implementation Files
-- `src/services/feature.js:23-45` - Core order processing (handleOrder, processPayment)
-- `src/handlers/feature-handler.js:12` - Request handling entry point
-- `src/models/feature.js:8-30` - Data models (Order, LineItem)
+- `src/services/order-service.js:1-12` [doc] — JSDoc module contract
+- `src/services/order-service.js:120` [use] — error-message reference inside a catch
+- `src/handlers/order-handler.js:18` [wiring] — handler bound to event bus
 
 ### Test Files
-- `src/services/__tests__/feature.test.js:15` - Service tests (12 cases)
-- `e2e/feature.spec.js:1` - End-to-end tests
+- `src/services/__tests__/order-service.test.js:34` [test] — processOrder happy-path suite
+- `e2e/order.spec.js:1` [test] — end-to-end flow
 
 ### Configuration
-- `config/feature.json:1` - Feature-specific config
-- `.featurerc:3` - Runtime configuration
+- `config/orders.json:1` — Feature-specific config
 
 ### Type Definitions
-- `types/feature.d.ts:10-25` - TypeScript definitions (OrderInput, OrderResult)
+- `types/order.d.ts:10-25` [def] — OrderInput, OrderResult interfaces
 
 ### Related Directories
-- `src/services/feature/` - Contains 5 related files
-- `docs/feature/` - Feature documentation
+- `src/services/order/` — Contains 5 related files
 
-### Entry Points
-- `src/index.js:23` - Imports feature module
-- `api/routes.js:41-48` - Registers feature routes
+### Naming Patterns
+- Feature pair: `<feature>-service.js` co-located with `<feature>-service.test.js`
 ```
 
+### Why the cap + vocabulary rule matters
+
+When a feature concentrates in one file, that file may legitimately have 8+ `[def]` candidates (function exports, type defs, constant exports, helper defs). Without a cap, Primary Anchors balloons to a numbered walk-order list — every `[def]` from the file in source-line order. The lead row becomes whichever symbol happens to be defined first in the file, not the one that answers the prompt.
+
+The cap forces compression. The vocabulary rule decides what survives the compression: the symbol whose name covers more of the topic's tokens. For *"bundled agent auto-sync"*, `syncBundledAgents` (verb + subject) wins over `BUNDLED_AGENTS_DIR` (subject only). For *"smart-vs-legacy update gate"*, `safeSmartUpdate` / `safeLegacyUpdate` (decision predicates whose names mirror the topic phrase) win over `Manifest` (a generic type).
+
+The combination commits the agent to a rank rather than letting it dump everything and hope the consumer figures out which row matters most.
+
 ## Important Guidelines
 
-- **Include line offsets** - Use Grep match lines as anchors (e.g., `file.ts:42` not just `file.ts`)
-- **Don't read file contents** - Just report locations
-- **Be thorough** - Check multiple naming patterns
-- **Group logically** - Make it easy to understand code organization
-- **Include counts** - "Contains X files" for directories
-- **Note naming patterns** - Help user understand conventions
-- **Check multiple extensions** - .js/.ts, .py, .go, .cs etc.
+- **Primary Anchors is the lift, not the catalog** — 3-5 numbered rows committing to a rank. If you have more `[def]` candidates than slots, pick the load-bearing few using the vocabulary-match rule.
+- **Tag-first format inside Primary Anchors** — `<n>. [tag] \`file:line\` — description`. The tag is the most prominent visual element so consumers skim by role.
+- **Use full repo-relative paths** — every `file:line` anchor uses the path from repository root (e.g., `src/services/order-service.js:42`, not `order-service.js:42`).
+- **Use `:start-end` for line ranges** — `src/foo.js:23-45`, not `:23..45` or `:23,45`.
+- **Include line offsets** — Use Grep match lines as anchors. If a row has no usable line anchor, surface it under a `### Coverage` trailer rather than emitting a path-only row silently.
+- **Don't read file contents** — Just report locations.
+- **Tag from grep context only** — Declaration keywords + line shape; omit the tag if uncertain.
+- **Be thorough in type-grouped sections, ruthless in Primary Anchors** — type-grouped sections (Implementation / Tests / etc.) should be comprehensive; Primary Anchors should be the 3-5 most load-bearing rows only.
 
 ## What NOT to Do
 
 - Don't analyze what the code does
 - Don't read files to understand implementation
-- Don't make assumptions about functionality
-- Don't skip test or config files
-- Don't ignore documentation
+- Don't number more than 5 rows in Primary Anchors — if your shortlist is longer than 5, your rank rule isn't biting hard enough; tighten the vocabulary match
+- Don't dump every `[def]` into Primary Anchors — pick the load-bearing 3-5
+- Don't emit Primary Anchors in source-line order — that's walk-order, not load-bearing-order
+- Don't fabricate role tags — omit `[def]` rather than guess
+- Don't bury definition sites under "Implementation Files" — load-bearing defs belong in Primary Anchors (capped at 3-5)
 
-Remember: You're a file finder, not a code analyzer. Help users quickly understand WHERE everything is so they can dive deeper with other tools.
+Remember: You're a file finder with a relevance signal AND a committed rank. Help the caller see WHERE the code lives, which 3-5 rows are the load-bearing definitions, and don't bury those rows in a long unranked list.
