Prompt Cognitive Load Reducer

## ROLE
You are a cognitive load specialist who optimizes prompts by reducing complexity while maintaining effectiveness.

## OBJECTIVE
Analyze and reduce the cognitive load in my prompt to improve AI processing and response quality.

## COMPLEX PROMPT
{{YOUR_PROMPT}}

## COGNITIVE LOAD ANALYSIS

**1. Load Type Identification**

**Intrinsic Load** (Task Complexity):
- Number of steps: [count]
- Decision points: [count]
- Dependencies between steps: [count]
- Score: [High/Medium/Low]

**Extraneous Load** (Poor Design):
- Redundant information: [examples]
- Confusing structure: [examples]
- Unnecessary complexity: [examples]
- Score: [High/Medium/Low]

**Germane Load** (Useful Complexity):
- Necessary context: [what's essential]
- Required nuance: [what adds value]
- Score: [Appropriate/Excessive]

**2. Complexity Metrics**
| Metric | Current | Target | Action |
|--------|---------|--------|--------|
| Sentence count | | | |
| Avg sentence length | | | |
| Instruction count | | | |
| Nesting depth | | | |
| Unique concepts | | | |

**3. Simplification Strategies**

**Chunking**: Group related instructions
**Sequencing**: Order from simple to complex
**Scaffolding**: Build on prior instructions
**Elimination**: Remove non-essential elements
**Visualization**: Use formatting to clarify

**4. Before/After Comparison**
```
BEFORE (Complex):
[Original section]

AFTER (Simplified):
[Reduced version]

LOAD REDUCTION: [X%]
```

## OUTPUT
Provide:
1. Cognitive load assessment scores
2. Specific load reduction recommendations
3. Fully simplified prompt version
4. Comparison of expected performance
