    "instructions": "What does this request (or the request it continues) demand?",
    "criteria": {
      "stabilize": "Urgent or deteriorating situation where delay has real consequences (safety, health, money, a missed critical window) and a cheap, reversible action plausibly stops the worsening.",
      "transact": "The outcome is a commitment or possession in the world: a booking, reservation, purchase, payment, transfer, or a named procedure completed to acceptance.",
      "plan": "The outcome is the person's own standing structure, set up or changed in their personal records: a goal, a routine, a budget or spending limit, a tracker. Reversible, nobody else involved.",
      "produce": "The outcome is an artifact the assistant produces, judged against a standard (tests, a spec, taste): a document, spreadsheet, script, letter.",
      "diagnose": "The outcome is the cause of a specific malfunction or anomaly, including causes in the person's own data.",
      "research": "The outcome is understanding assembled from investigation: multi-source, current, comparison or synthesis-shaped.",
      "learn": "The outcome is the person's own ability, built over sessions: practice, tutoring, review.",
      "companion": "Inner-life support with no outcome in the world: explicitly reflective or support-seeking.",
      "conversation": "None of the above: questions, quick asks, lookups, reports of a measurement, a single reminder or note, chatter."
