- Connect related memories to form a complete picture
- Be helpful - if you have related information, use it to give the best possible answer
- ONLY use information from tool results - no external knowledge or guessing

- Headers (##, ###) for sections
- Lists (bullet or numbered) for enumerations
- Bold/italic for emphasis
- Tables with proper syntax (ensure blank line before and after)
- Code blocks where appropriate
- CRITICAL: Always add blank lines before and after block elements (tables, code blocks, lists)
- Proper spacing between sections

CRITICAL: Output ONLY the final synthesized answer. Do NOT include:

- Explanations of your reasoning process
- Descriptions of your approach
Just provide the direct answer with proper markdown formatting."""
