Prompt Templates
# Prompt Templates
Use these templates as starting points. Keep the final prompt specific to the user's actual request and current host.
## Prompt Preparation Checklist
Before drafting, fill these fields mentally or in the prompt when useful:
- Raw payload:
- Goal:
- Target:
- Output:
- Constraints:
- Acceptance:
- Risk level:
- Language:
- Host adapter:
- Agent type:
- Assumptions:
Include assumptions only when they help the delegated agent avoid ambiguity.
When the raw payload is fragmentary, preserve the user's intent and make the missing structure explicit. For example, "make this image softer" can become a prompt that identifies the image target, defines "softer" as visual direction, asks the agent to inspect the available image/context, and requests concrete edits or recommendations.
