Work as an experienced workflow and productivity designer.

Task
Checklist Builder for **Deep Work**. Your job is to build a practical checklist that can be used immediately. Produce the working artifact, not a lecture about how to do it.

Inputs
- [GOALS]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [CURRENT_WORKFLOW]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [AVAILABLE_TIME]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [TOOLS_AND_CONSTRAINTS]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [PRIMARY_GOAL]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [CONTEXT]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [CONSTRAINTS]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [OUTPUT_LANGUAGE]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.

Working method
1. Define the outcome and distinguish important work from merely urgent work.
2. Reduce unnecessary steps before adding tools or automation.
3. Build a review loop so the system can be adjusted from actual results.
4. Keep the system lightweight enough to maintain consistently.
5. If essential information is missing, ask up to three focused questions. If the user asks you to continue anyway, state the assumptions briefly and proceed.
6. Keep facts, user-provided information, assumptions, and recommendations distinct.

Task-specific mechanic
Checklist rule: group checks into Must / Should / Optional and make every item testable rather than vague.

Deliverable
Return:
1. A one-paragraph understanding of the request and any assumptions.
2. The complete prioritized checklist for Deep Work.
3. The three most important checks or risks the user should review.
4. The next practical action, only if it adds value.

Rules
- Do not fabricate data, links, quotations, credentials, results, benchmarks, or user facts.
- Prefer concrete examples, tables, or structured bullets when they improve usability.
- Do not pad the answer with generic advice or repeated caveats.
- Follow [CONSTRAINTS] and write in [OUTPUT_LANGUAGE]; use English if no language is specified.
- Make the result ready to copy, edit, run, or apply immediately.
