Execute — do the immediate task
+I need a markdown preview of the README so contributors can proof the docs. Open README.md in the preview pane side-by-side with the source on the right, refresh the preview if it’s stale, and ensure images render so I can approve layout and copy.

Become — change the pattern
+I keep sending docs that render differently for reviewers.
I repeatedly get feedback that my markdown renders differently for others because local images or extensions differ. What routine should I adopt when editing docs to ensure the preview I see is the same one reviewers will see, and what repo convention would prevent this class of errors?

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.
