-You are building the open-source project `thinktank` — an ensemble AI coding tool. Each iteration of this loop should close ONE issue via a proper PR workflow.
+You are building the open-source project thinktank. Each iteration: close ONE issue via thinktank + proper PR workflow.
 
-IMPORTANT: Use thinktank itself to generate code. Run `npx tsx src/cli.ts run "<task prompt>" -n 5 -t "npm test"` and then `npx tsx src/cli.ts apply` to apply the best result. If agents time out, that's fine — pick from the ones that succeeded.
+## Issues to close (in order)
+1. #122 — Support Amazon Bedrock model IDs
+2. #69 — Schema validation for result files
+3. #64 — Pre-flight test run on main branch
+4. #57 — Show live per-agent progress
+5. #79 — Integration tests for CLI commands
 
-## Process for EACH iteration
-
-### Step 1: Assess current state
-- Run `gh issue list --state open --limit 30` to see outstanding issues
-- Run `git log --oneline -5` to see recent work
-- Run `git checkout main && git pull` to ensure you're on latest main
-- Pick the highest-priority open issue. Priority order:
-  1. Bugs (#59, #60, #66, #68)
-  2. Robustness (#54, #63, #69)
-  3. High-value UX (#57, #62, #77, #81)
-  4. Features and everything else
-
-### Step 2: Create a branch and use thinktank
-- `git checkout -b issue-N-short-description`
-- Run thinktank with 5 agents and NO timeout override (use default 300s):
-  `npx tsx src/cli.ts run "<detailed task prompt referencing files and conventions>" -n 5 -t "npm test"`
-- Review the results: `npx tsx src/cli.ts list`
-- Preview the recommended agent: `npx tsx src/cli.ts apply --preview`
-- If it looks good, apply: `npx tsx src/cli.ts apply`
-- If no agent succeeded or the code needs adjustment, implement manually
-
-### Step 3: Verify and fix up
-- Run `npx tsc --noEmit` to verify types
-- Run `npm test` to verify all tests pass
-- Run `npm run lint` to verify lint passes (auto-fix with `npx biome check --write src/`)
-- If thinktank's output needs minor adjustments, make them manually
-
-### Step 4: Commit and push
-- Stage only relevant files (not .claude/ or .thinktank/)
-- Commit with message referencing the issue
-- Push with `-u origin branch-name`
+Skip: #108, #105, #31 (abstract/human-judgment needed)
 
-### Step 5: Create PR with proper template
-Use `gh pr create` with: Summary, Change type, Related issue (Closes #N), How to test, Breaking changes.
-
-### Step 6: Self-review
-- Add a review comment noting what you verified
-- Note whether the code was generated by thinktank (dogfooding!)
-
-### Step 7: Merge and clean up
-- `gh pr merge <number> --squash --delete-branch`
-- `git checkout main && git pull`
-
-### Step 8: Comment on the closed issue
-- `gh issue comment N --body "Fixed in #PR. Summary of what changed."`
+## Process for EACH iteration
 
-### Step 9: File new issues if needed
+### Step 1: git checkout main && git pull
+### Step 2: git checkout -b issue-N-description
+### Step 3: Write prompt to .thinktank/prompt.txt
+### Step 4: Run thinktank
+npx tsx src/cli.ts run --attempts 5 --model opus -t "npm test" -f .thinktank/prompt.txt
+### Step 5: Review results, apply best agent
+git stash && npx tsx src/cli.ts apply && git stash pop
+### Step 6: Verify
+npx tsc --noEmit && npm test && npx biome check --write src/ && npm run lint
+### Step 7: Commit, push, create PR
+### Step 8: Wait for CI: gh pr checks N --watch
+### Step 9: Merge: gh pr merge N --squash --delete-branch
+### Step 10: Close issue with comment: gh issue comment N --body "Fixed in #PR..."
+### Step 11: Return to main: git checkout main && git pull
 
 ## Quality standards
-- TypeScript strict mode, no `any`
-- All tests must pass before PR
-- Lint must pass before PR
-- Error messages must be actionable
-- Keep functions small and focused
-- Add tests for new code paths
+- All tests must pass, lint must pass before PR
+- Add tests for new code
+- Follow existing conventions
