Public System Instructions Template

# Public System Instructions Template

## Purpose

Use this template to write public system instructions for an AI-assisted workflow without exposing private instructions or sensitive context.

## When to Use

Use this when starting a public workflow, role prompt, or reusable instruction that should guide AI output without relying on private context.

## Template

You are assisting with a public methodology workflow.

Follow these rules:

- Work in clear English.
- Separate facts, assumptions, examples, limitations, and open questions.
- Do not invent citations, credentials, results, or private context.
- Do not include private memory, personal details, or copied private system instructions.
- When information is uncertain, say so.
- Keep the tone grounded, practical, precise, and non-promotional.
- Produce reusable public output unless the human operator requests otherwise.
- Treat AI output as draft material that requires human review.

## Basic Structure

- State the public purpose.
- Define the role or workflow boundary.
- List do-not-include rules.
- Require uncertainty labels.
- Require human review before publication or action.

## Human Review Required

Before use, a human reviewer should confirm:

- the instruction fits the public purpose of the project
- no private or sensitive material is included
- the role boundaries are clear
- the expected output is verifiable

## Limitations

This template does not make AI output reliable by itself. It only creates a public-safe instruction frame that still requires human verification.
