- `generate_subquestion_cot(task, context)` - Question-based decomposition

### 2. FewShotExampleBuilder
**File:** `lib/prompt_techniques.py:162-229`
**Purpose:** Builds task-specific example library

```python
from prompt_techniques import FewShotExampleBuilder
examples = FewShotExampleBuilder.build_examples_for_task(TaskType.IMPLEMENTATION, 3)
formatted = FewShotExampleBuilder.format_examples_for_prompt(examples)
```

**Key Methods:**
- `build_examples_for_task(task_type, num_examples)` - Get examples for task type
- `format_examples_for_prompt(examples)` - Format for inclusion in prompt

### 3. RoleBasedPrompting

role = RoleBasedPrompting.get_role_prompt(TaskType.DEBUGGING)
```

**Supported Roles:**
- Senior Software Engineer (IMPLEMENTATION)
- Expert Debugger (DEBUGGING)
- Systems Analyst (ANALYSIS)
- Security Researcher (SECURITY)
- Research Scientist (RESEARCH)
- Project Architect (PLANNING)
- Code Reviewer (REVIEW)
- Performance Engineer (OPTIMIZATION)

### 4. ContextHierarchy
**File:** `lib/prompt_techniques.py:376-410`
**Purpose:** Priority-based context management

```python
from prompt_techniques import ContextHierarchy
hierarchy = ContextHierarchy()
hierarchy.add_context("critical", "Must include")
hierarchy.add_context("high", "Important")
context_str = hierarchy.build_hierarchical_context(max_tokens=2000)
```

### 5. TaskSpecificPatterns
**File:** `lib/prompt_techniques.py:413-514`
**Purpose:** Domain-optimized prompt structures

```python
from prompt_techniques import TaskSpecificPatterns
pattern = TaskSpecificPatterns.get_analysis_pattern(topic, focus_areas)
pattern = TaskSpecificPatterns.get_debugging_pattern(symptom, component)
pattern = TaskSpecificPatterns.get_implementation_pattern(feature, requirements)
pattern = TaskSpecificPatterns.get_planning_pattern(objective, scope)
```

### 6. PromptEngineer
**File:** `lib/prompt_techniques.py:517-580`
**Purpose:** Main orchestration engine

```python
from prompt_techniques import PromptEngineer
engineer = PromptEngineer()
augmented, metadata = engineer.engineer_prompt(
    task, task_type, strategies, context
)
```

## Integration Framework

### PromptIntegrationEngine (Main API)
**File:** `lib/prompt_integration.py:125-250`
**Purpose:** Central integration point for Luzia

```python
from prompt_integration import PromptIntegrationEngine, TaskType

engine = PromptIntegrationEngine(project_config)
augmented_prompt, metadata = engine.augment_for_task(
    task="Your task here",
    task_type=TaskType.IMPLEMENTATION,
    domain="backend",
    complexity=None,  # Auto-detected
    context=None,     # Optional
    strategies=None   # Auto-selected
)
```

**Return Values:**
```python
metadata = {
    "domain": "backend",
    "complexity": 2,
    "strategies": ["system_instruction", "role_based", "chain_of_thought"],
    "project": "luzia",
    "final_token_estimate": 2500
}
```

### DomainSpecificAugmentor
**File:** `lib/prompt_integration.py:36-120`
**Purpose:** Domain-specific context injection

**Supported Domains:**
1. **backend** - Performance, scalability, reliability
2. **frontend** - UX, accessibility, performance
3. **crypto** - Correctness, security, auditability
4. **devops** - Reliability, automation, observability
5. **research** - Rigor, novelty, reproducibility
6. **orchestration** - Coordination, efficiency, resilience

### ComplexityAdaptivePrompting
**File:** `lib/prompt_integration.py:260-315`
**Purpose:** Auto-detect complexity and select strategies

```python
from prompt_integration import ComplexityAdaptivePrompting
complexity = ComplexityAdaptivePrompting.estimate_complexity(task, task_type)
strategies = ComplexityAdaptivePrompting.get_prompting_strategies(complexity)
```

**Complexity Scale:**
- **1** - Simple (typos, documentation, small fixes)
- **2** - Moderate (standard implementation, basic features)
- **3** - Complex (multi-component features, refactoring)
- **4** - Very Complex (distributed systems, critical features)
- **5** - Highly Complex (novel problems, architectural changes)

## Usage Patterns

### Pattern 1: Simple Task
```python
engine = PromptIntegrationEngine(config)
augmented, meta = engine.augment_for_task(
    "Fix typo in README",
    TaskType.DOCUMENTATION
)
# Complexity: 1, Strategies: 2
```

### Pattern 2: Complex Implementation
```python
augmented, meta = engine.augment_for_task(
    "Implement distributed caching with invalidation and monitoring",
    TaskType.IMPLEMENTATION,
    domain="backend"
)
# Complexity: auto-detected (3-4), Strategies: 4-5
```

### Pattern 3: Task Continuation
```python
context = {
    "previous_results": {"schema": "defined", "migration": "completed"},
    "state": {"status": "in_progress", "current_task": "API implementation"},
    "blockers": ["Rate limiting strategy not decided"]
}

augmented, meta = engine.augment_for_task(
    "Continue: implement API endpoints with rate limiting",
    TaskType.IMPLEMENTATION,
    domain="backend",
    context=context
)
```

### Pattern 4: Custom Domain
```python
augmented, meta = engine.augment_for_task(
    "Analyze security implications of token storage",
    TaskType.ANALYSIS,
    domain="crypto"  # Applies crypto-specific best practices
)
```

## Integration into Luzia Dispatcher

### In responsive_dispatcher.py or similar:

```python
from lib.prompt_integration import PromptIntegrationEngine, TaskType

class Dispatcher:
    def __init__(self, project_config):
        self.prompt_engine = PromptIntegrationEngine(project_config)

    def dispatch_task(self, task_description, task_type):
        # Augment the prompt
        augmented_task, metadata = self.prompt_engine.augment_for_task(
            task=task_description,
            task_type=task_type,  # Inferred from task or user input
            domain=self.infer_domain(),  # From project context
        )

        # Send augmented version to Claude
        response = self.claude_api.create_message(augmented_task)

        # Log metadata for monitoring
        self.log_augmentation_stats(metadata)

        return response
```

## Monitoring & Metrics

### Key Metrics to Track
1. **Augmentation Ratio** - Ratio of augmented to original length
2. **Success Rate** - Tasks completed successfully
3. **Quality Score** - User or automated quality assessment
4. **Token Efficiency** - Quality gain vs. token cost
5. **Complexity Accuracy** - Estimated vs. actual difficulty

### Example Tracking
```python
metrics = {
    "task_id": "abc123",
    "original_length": 50,
    "augmented_length": 150,
    "ratio": 3.0,
    "complexity_detected": 3,
    "strategies_used": 4,
    "success": True,
    "quality_score": 0.92
}
```

## Dependencies

**None!**

The framework uses only Python standard library:
- `json` - Configuration and metadata
- `pathlib` - File operations
- `typing` - Type hints
- `enum` - Task types and strategies
- `dataclasses` - Context structures
- `datetime` - Timestamps

## Testing & Verification

### Automated Verification
```bash
python3 -c "from lib.prompt_techniques import PromptEngineer; print('✓ Imports OK')"
python3 -c "from lib.prompt_integration import PromptIntegrationEngine; print('✓ Engine OK')"
```

### Full Verification Suite
```bash
python3 /tmp/verify_implementation.py
# Returns: 7/7 checks passed ✓
```

### Manual Testing
```python
from lib.prompt_integration import PromptIntegrationEngine, TaskType

engine = PromptIntegrationEngine({"name": "test"})
result, meta = engine.augment_for_task("test task", TaskType.IMPLEMENTATION)
assert len(result) > 0
assert "strategies" in meta
print("✓ Manual test passed")
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Import Errors
```bash
# Ensure you're in the orchestrator directory
cd /opt/server-agents/orchestrator

# Add to Python path
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/server-agents/orchestrator/lib:$PYTHONPATH
```

### Complexity Detection Issues
- If complexity seems wrong, check the heuristics in `ComplexityAdaptivePrompting.estimate_complexity()`
- Adjust weights based on your task distribution

### Token Budget Exceeded
- Reduce `max_tokens` parameter to `ContextHierarchy.build_hierarchical_context()`
- Disable lower-priority strategies for simple tasks
- Use complexity-based strategy selection
