  <description><![CDATA[I had a hunch the standard system → user prompt order was wrong for negative constraints. Every standard answer told me to drop it. I ran 1500 calls on 30 hard tasks and the flipped version beat the standard one by 14 to 46 points. The system slot is the worst place for your 'do not' rules and the docs back it. — by Ashish Kumar Verma]]></description>

Here's the honest walk through why MCP is a packaging standard, not a technical innovation, and why that's still valuable. — by Ashish Kumar Verma]]></description>
