Getting good results
Start with Ask for work.
State authority
Section titled “State authority”Use direct boundaries such as “do not send,” “do not merge,” or “production is read-only.” If the agent may publish or change external state, name the exact system and action.
Correct the course
Section titled “Correct the course”Continue in the same conversation when new context affects the result. State what is wrong, provide the missing fact, and name the revised outcome. Start a new conversation for unrelated work.
Ask for evidence
Section titled “Ask for evidence”Request sources for factual claims and a rendered check for visual output. Ask the agent to state when a fact is missing. Do not let it replace the fact with an assumption.
Use Recipes for complete requests you can adapt.
