Summary

  • Removes prescriptive rules from the discuss advisory action (perspectives, implications, critical thinking)
  • Updates prompt builder to omit the Instructions section when rules are empty
  • Changes closing from directive to simple invitation: "What would you like to explore?"

The discuss action was duplicating validate and critique's structured analysis. Its purpose is to start an unbounded conversation, not guide a specific analysis pattern.

Test plan

  • Unit tests pass (bun run --cwd backend test src/__tests__/pair-writing-prompts.test.ts)
  • Pre-commit checks pass

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The discuss prompt was overly prescriptive with rules about "exploring
implications" and "encouraging critical thinking." This overlaps with
validate and critique actions. Discuss should just present the selection
and let the conversation flow naturally.

- Remove structured rules from discuss config
- Update prompt builder to omit Instructions section when rules are empty
- Change closing from directive to simple invitation
