I asked Claude to asses this prompt

Overall assessment
The prompt is well-intentioned and correctly diagnoses sycophancy as a primary failure mode. The anti-sycophancy instructions are its best feature. But it also layers on the expert persona, the length-maximization instruction, and the unexecutable verification commands — all of which push in the direction of confident, fluent, detailed output, which is exactly the texture hallucinations have. The prompt essentially asks the model to behave like a supremely confident expert while simultaneously being perfectly calibrated. Those goals are in direct tension, and in practice the confidence will win out over the calibration on specific factual claims, which is where it matters most.
