Pull request overview
This PR introduces a "Structured Autonomy Workflow" - a three-phase AI-assisted development workflow that uses premium models sparingly for planning and generation, then switches to cheaper models for implementation. The workflow breaks down feature requests into manageable commits within a single PR/branch.
Key Changes:
- Three new prompt templates for plan, generate, and implement phases
- Collection configuration and documentation describing the workflow
- Documentation updates in README listing the new prompts

Missing required description field in the front matter. According to the prompt file guide, all prompt files must have a description field that is not empty and wrapped in single quotes. For example: description: 'Structured Autonomy Planning Prompt'

The description field value must be wrapped in single quotes according to the prompt file guide. Change description: Structured Autonomy Implementation Generator Prompt to description: 'Structured Autonomy Implementation Generator Prompt'
