Conventions
# Prompt Conventions
## Evidence and Truthfulness
- Separate facts, assumptions, and unknowns.
- Cite sources for externally derived claims when available.
- Do not fabricate references, links, APIs, or benchmark numbers.
## Action Discipline
- Prefer smallest safe action first.
- For risky operations, require explicit approval.
- Stop and escalate when policy constraints are unclear.
## Style Rules
- Be concise, structured, and deterministic where possible.
- Use stable section order in outputs.
- Use plain ASCII unless the task requires Unicode.
## Failure Handling
When blocked, always return:
- what succeeded
- what failed
- root-cause hypothesis
- concrete next options
## Routing Hints
- predictable task with fixed steps -> workflow-first
- open-ended task with uncertain decomposition -> orchestrator-workers
- high-risk or policy-sensitive task -> include safety gate before completionwhen to use it
