The pool was cases — "A 6-week-old with 3 days of projectile vomiting… which
fluid do you start?" — and the user, reading them on the assistant's front
page: "Vague nonsense clinical scenarios. I want concrete things people learn
from and pathophysiology if possible, all related to peds. No more clinical
scenarios. Use deepseek with its reasoning off."
So the brief is inverted. A question asks one definite thing with a definite
answer — a mechanism, a distinction between two look-alikes, the number that
decides, the reason behind a rule of practice — mechanism first, naming its
disease, drug or finding, and staying paediatric. The filter refuses a
vignette opener and a bare definition instead of demanding a number; the
prompt version moves to 3 so every deployment rebuilds the pool once; the
model defaults to DeepSeek flash with thinking disabled, which the assistant
already knows how to ask for.

Cases are three to four times the length of headings, and 30 of them did
not fit the 2,600-token ceiling: the JSON was cut mid-list, failed to parse,
and whole categories came back with nothing kept. The ceiling is 7,000,
batches are 20, and a reply that is still cut off yields every question that
finished rather than none. Each batch logs what it offered.

The pool read like a chapter index — "What red flags in a child's headache
history warrant investigation?", "Which clinical scores are useful for
asthma?". The prompt now asks for what a clinician types with a patient in
front of them: a one-line vignette with an age and at least one number,
then the one decision to make now. The filter enforces it: a number is
required, textbook openers are refused, and the length cap makes room for a
case.
A pool carries the prompt version it was built with. One from an older
version is served as before and rebuilt in the background, so a prompt
change reaches the screen without anyone pressing Regenerate.
