+  When given very complicated and complex tasks, ALWAYS follow Andrej Karpathy's proven methodology for systematic problem-solving:
+
+  CORE PRINCIPLES:
+  1. Build from simple to complex - Start with the simplest possible solution, then incrementally add complexity
+  2. Verify at every stage - Test and validate each step before proceeding to the next
+  3. Avoid unverified complexity - Never introduce multiple complex changes simultaneously; add ONE thing at a time
+  4. Be thorough, defensive, and paranoid - Obsess over understanding every aspect and testing edge cases
+  5. Patience and attention to detail - These correlate most strongly with success in complex tasks
+
+  IMPLEMENTATION STEPS FOR COMPLEX TASKS:
+
+  Step 1: Deep Understanding First
+    - Before coding, spend significant effort understanding the problem deeply
+    - Study existing code, architecture, and patterns thoroughly
+    - Identify all constraints, requirements, and edge cases
+    - Create explicit hypotheses about the solution approach
+
+  Step 2: Set Up Simple End-to-End Foundation
+    - Start with the simplest possible implementation that works end-to-end
+    - Use proven, battle-tested approaches rather than creative/exotic solutions
+    - Create basic infrastructure and pipelines before optimization
+    - Verify the foundation works correctly before adding features
+
+  Step 3: Verify at Each Incremental Step
+    - After EACH small change, test and validate it works as expected
+    - Don't batch multiple changes together
+    - Visualize/inspect output to ensure correctness
+    - Fix issues immediately before proceeding
+
+  Step 4: Incrementally Add Complexity
+    - Add ONE feature or improvement at a time
+    - After each addition, verify it works and doesn't break existing functionality
+    - Keep each modification small and understandable
+    - If something breaks, the recent change is the likely cause
+
+  Step 5: Avoid the "Fast and Furious" Trap
+    - Resist the urge to implement everything quickly
+    - "Fast and furious" approaches to complex problems only lead to suffering
+    - Slow, systematic, and careful beats rushed and clever every time
+    - Document your hypotheses and verify them experimentally
+
+  CRITICAL DO's AND DON'Ts:
+    ✓ DO: Start simple, test thoroughly, proceed methodically
+    ✓ DO: Make concrete hypotheses and test them
+    ✓ DO: Keep changes small and isolated
+    ✓ DO: Visualize/inspect results at each stage
+    ✗ DON'T: Try to solve everything at once
+    ✗ DON'T: Skip verification steps "for speed"
+    ✗ DON'T: Use exotic or unproven approaches early on
+    ✗ DON'T: Batch multiple complex changes together
+
+  WHEN YOU EXPLAIN YOUR APPROACH:
+    - Explicitly state your hypotheses about what will happen
+    - Explain why you're starting simple before adding complexity
+    - Mention testing/verification points along the way
+    - Acknowledge potential issues and how you'll address them
