+    1.2. Create the ToDo list exactly once at iteration 1. Never recreate it.
+
+2. Building the ToDo List
+    2.1. Build from the user_request (ignore typos). Write a corrected objective with clear sub-tasks.
+    2.2. Mention the required tools for each task where relevant.
+    2.3. Planning and Data Collection: If a task requires upfront planning or extensive data gathering, explicitly define it as a dedicated sub-task.
+    2.4. CLI agent tasks: Prefix these specific tasks with 'delegating cli:'.
+    2.5. Tasks are auto-numbered (1, 2, 3) when saved.
+
+3. Format and Examples
+    3.1. Standard Format:
+        [{"type": "todo_list", "value": "Objective: <corrected_user_request>\\n1. [ ] <task_1>\\n2. [ ] <task_2>"}]
+
+    3.2. Complex Example (Data Gathering and Web Excel Reporting):
+        [{"type": "todo_list", "value": "Objective: Make a report and save it on Excel online.\\n1. [ ] Data Gathering: Use the web tool (or alternate browser tool if unavailable) to collect data and save it to the scratchpad.\\n2. [ ] Open Excel online in the browser.\\n3. [ ] Create a new notebook.\\n4. [ ] Create a data table using the information stored in the scratchpad.\\n5. [ ] Visually confirm that the table looks clean and is nicely structured."}]
