Execute — do the immediate task
+Change the team's editor theme to a higher-contrast dark theme for better readability during evening sessions. Open Preferences and set the color theme to 'Dark Contrast Pro' for all users in the workspace settings, then check three sample files (TypeScript, Markdown, JSON) to ensure syntax colors are legible.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I roll the new theme to the team, make it easy for reviewers: show screenshots of the same line of TypeScript, Markdown, and JSON in the current theme and the proposed Dark Contrast Pro, list three accessibility benefits (contrast ratios, reduced eye strain, clearer keyword color), and note any extensions that change color tokens.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I applied a new theme and half the team complained they can't read comments.
I switched the workspace to Dark Contrast Pro and now Sam and Priya say comments are too faint to read. I don't know whether they're using different display calibrations or extensions altering token colors. Should I roll back, ask for screenshots from Sam and Priya, or suggest they disable conflicting extensions first? Recommend the likely cause and the next practical step to resolve quickly.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
