## How Prompt Chains Work
Each step is a separate Claude call. The output of one step becomes input to the next. This works better than a single mega-prompt because:
- Each step has a narrow, focused mandate
- Claude can use its full context window per step (not split across tasks)
- You can inspect and redirect at any handoff point
- Failures are isolated to one step instead of cascading

## Step 1: Research & Extractwhen to use it
Community prompt sourced from the open-source GitHub repo trebeck87/Hive-Synthesis-Engine (Apache-2.0). A "Research And Write" style prompt — adapt the placeholders and specifics to your task. Imported as-is and not independently retested here, so check the output before relying on it.
