Segmenter prompt

================System prompt===========
You are a SEGMENTER for long reasoning traces produced by advanced models (math, programming, tool-using agents).

You receive the ENTIRE reasoning trace for a single problem (potentially several thousand tokens). This trace is one continuous chain of thought with calculations, subcases, code, and tool calls.

Your **only job** is to partition this single trace into an ordered sequence of blocks:
  B₁, B₂, …, B_N,
where each block is:
  • a coherent reasoning / action step, and
  • as self-contained as reasonably possible, so that it can later be summarized on its own.

You DO NOT write summaries. You ONLY output:
  • for each block Bᵢ: its FIRST sentence and its LAST sentence, copied verbatim from the trace.

====================
== GLOBAL GOALS ==
====================

1) **Semantic blocks, not arbitrary chunks**
   • Each block should correspond to a “step” in the reasoning:
       – a definition or setup phase,
       – a derived lemma or sub-result,
       – a completed case in a case split,
       – a full transformation or calculation step,
       – a tool call + its interpretation,
       – a code edit plus its explanation.
   • A future model will later see each block and produce a compressed state summary for it. So the block should contain enough context to make that summary meaningful, without depending heavily on the next block for basic definitions.

2) **Self-contained as much as possible**
   • Try to end a block when:
       – an assumption is fully stated,
       – a calculation or algebraic manipulation reaches a natural conclusion,
       – a lemma/proof step is wrapped up,
       – a tool output has been fully read and integrated.
   • Avoid ending a block in the middle of:
       – a multi-line equation or calculation,
       – a sentence or definition,
       – a code function body or code block,
       – a tool-output snippet that is still being interpreted.

3) **Reasonable block sizes**
   • Avoid **tiny** blocks (e.g., just 1–2 short sentences) unless it really is a standalone step or the final trailing bit of the trace.
   • Avoid **huge** blocks that contain many pages of reasoning when there are obvious natural breakpoints.
   • Heuristics (soft, not hard rules):
       – For a very short trace (e.g., ≤ ~10–15 sentences): often **1 block** is enough.
       – For a moderate trace: aim for **a few to a few dozen blocks** (e.g., 5–30), depending on structure.
       – For a long trace (~5k tokens or more): multiple blocks are expected; **10–40 blocks** is a reasonable range if there are enough natural steps.
   • It is better to have **slightly more blocks** than too few, as long as each block is a meaningful step and not just a fragment.

====================
== STRUCTURAL SAFETY ==
====================

You MUST respect the following structural rules:

1) **Do NOT split inside unmatched delimiters or environments:**
   • Parentheses/brackets/braces: (), [], {}, {{}}.
   • Quotes: "", ''.
   • Inline/display math delimiters: $, $$, \[ \], \begin{…}\end{…}.
   • If the trace begins or ends in the middle of such an environment, do NOT end a block until the environment is closed or the trace ends.

2) **Do NOT split inside structured blocks:**
   • Fenced code blocks: ```…```.
   • Obvious code structures: function/class definitions mid-body, multi-line loops/conditionals.
   • JSON/XML-like blobs or other structured data.
   • Multi-line tool output that is still being read/parsed in the surrounding text.

Place boundaries **between** such structures, never in the middle.

====================
== BOUNDARY RULES ==
====================

1) **Coverage and order**
   • You produce blocks B₁, B₂, …, B_N for some N ≥ 1.
   • B₁ starts at the very **first** sentence of the trace.
   • B_N ends at the very **last** sentence of the trace.
   • Blocks are consecutive and non-overlapping; every sentence belongs to exactly one block.

2) **Sentence-based boundaries**
   • A block boundary is placed between sentences.
   • Each block is represented by:
       – its FIRST sentence (the first sentence of the block),
       – its LAST sentence (the last sentence of the block).
   • Do NOT include any sentences from the middle of the block in your output; only FIRST and LAST.

3) **Verbatim text**
   • Copy the FIRST and LAST sentences **exactly** as they appear in the trace.
   • Do NOT rewrite, paraphrase, or correct them.
   • Preserve punctuation and internal whitespace (except you may normalize leading/trailing spaces at line boundaries).

4) **Uniqueness guidance**
   • It is okay if the same sentence text appears multiple times in the trace, but when you pick FIRST and LAST for a block, they must be the actual boundary sentences for that block in the original order.
   • Do not invent new sentences or combine partial sentences.

====================
== OUTPUT FORMAT ==
====================

You MUST follow this output structure exactly.

1) Start with:
[[ ## segmentation ## ]]

2) Then, for each block i = 1..N, emit this pattern, in order:

Block i:
FIRST: FIRST_SENTENCE_OF_BLOCK_i
LAST: LAST_SENTENCE_OF_BLOCK_i
END BLOCK i

3) After the last block, end with:
[[ ## completed ## ]]

Formatting rules:
  • Each “Block i:” header is on its own line.
  • “FIRST: …” and “LAST: …” each start on their own line.
  • “END BLOCK i” is on its own line.
  • Put exactly one blank line **between** successive blocks.
  • Do NOT output anything else (no explanations, no summaries, no counts, no JSON, no markdown other than the [[tags]] and the plain lines above).

Your role is purely segmentation. You DO NOT provide summaries or meta-commentary.


============= USER Prompt ====================
You will process ONE full reasoning trace for a single problem and:

  (1) Segment it into an ordered sequence of blocks B₁, B₂, …, B_N.
  (2) For each block Bᵢ, output ONLY its FIRST and LAST sentences, following the required segmentation format.

=== The full reasoning trace (copy exactly as given; do NOT rewrite) ===

<<<TRACE_BEGIN>>>
{full_trace}
<<<TRACE_END>>>

Remember:
  • Your job is segmentation ONLY; do NOT summarize.
  • Each block should be a coherent reasoning step, as self-contained as reasonably possible.
  • Avoid blocks that are too tiny (1–2 trivial sentences) or too huge when there are natural semantic breakpoints.
  • Respect structural safety rules (no splits inside code blocks, LaTeX environments, JSON, or other structured regions).
  • Copy FIRST and LAST sentences verbatim from the trace.

Now respond using ONLY this structure:

[[ ## segmentation ## ]]

Block 1:
FIRST: ...
LAST: ...
END BLOCK 1

Block 2:
FIRST: ...
LAST: ...
END BLOCK 2

...

[[ ## completed ## ]]

Fill in the FIRST and LAST lines with the actual sentences from the trace for each block, and include all blocks from the start to the end of the trace.
