Palbench Small Sample Dev Prompt
# PalBench Small Sample: Dev Prompt Quality
## Baseline
The direct prompt asks for the next Codex development prompt, but leaves file scope, boundaries, and acceptance criteria implicit.
## AgentPal Condition
AgentPal creates:
- Task Judgement Packet
- Context Access List
- Task Package
- acceptance criteria
- no-runtime / no-subagent / no-hardcoded-routing boundaries
## Observation
The AgentPal condition is easier to hand to Codex because it states the goal, required files, constraints, steps, and evidence required.
This is a small-sample observation, not a statistical benchmark.when to use it
