Prompting
Write prompts that keep your agent reliable.
Your system prompt defines the agent’s role, tone, and limits. Keep it short, explicit, and easy to maintain.
Suggested structure
- Role: What the agent is responsible for.
- Goals: What success looks like for the agent.
- Guardrails: What the agent must never do.
- Tone: Style and voice expectations.
Guardrails matter
Explicit constraints prevent the agent from hallucinating or oversharing. If the agent should escalate to a human, say so clearly.
Keep it updated
Prompts are living documentation. Update them whenever your product, policies, or workflows change.
