Module 04 · Prompts

Prompts to design and supervise a mission

Use Chat to design and decide; use Sources when the agent must work from a governed corpus with verifiable citations.

How to use this library14 · Prompt structure levels
10 working prompts

Move from the situation to the outcome through a verifiable sequence.

Prompt library with levels and expected evidence.
WorkflowFrom case to continuity

The prompts move from suitability to contract, permissions, plan, execution and verdict. None performs external actions. In this pilot, no prompt sends, publishes, pays or changes external systems.

Independent use: Use any prompt independently when you provide its declared input artifact; if it is missing, the prompt must ask or stop.

Why it worksAcceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria

  • A verdict for every candidate.
  • The case keeps a personal boundary.
  • Version, authority, checkpoint and stop condition match.
  • You can explain what you decided, the evidence used and what you will review next.

Edge cases

  • No case is recoverable.
  • Impact depends on a missing source.
  • Ambiguous authority: stop design and request an accountable owner.

Trade-offs

  • A simpler case teaches control before breadth.

Assumptions

  • The declared inputs, permissions and sources represent the case under review.

Limits

  • Does not authorize design or execution. Stop when data or authority is missing.

Why it worksAcceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria

  • Allowed and prohibited conduct is testable.
  • Instructions preserve your final decision.
  • Version, authority, checkpoint and stop condition match.
  • You can explain what you decided, the evidence used and what you will review next.

Edge cases

  • Two instructions conflict.
  • The output requires a prohibited action.
  • Ambiguous authority: stop design and request an accountable owner.

Trade-offs

  • Explicit rules reduce improvisation and may require more clarification.

Assumptions

  • The declared inputs, permissions and sources represent the case under review.

Limits

  • Produces an instruction draft; it does not activate an agent. Stop when data or authority is missing.

Why it worksAcceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria

  • The exception triggers an observable pause.
  • Escalation reaches an identified person.
  • The verdict cites evidence and required change.
  • Version, authority, checkpoint and stop condition match.
  • You can explain what you decided, the evidence used and what you will review next.

Edge cases

  • Person unavailable: apply the stop condition.

Before copying
When to use it
Once the pilot has a verdict and you must repeat, expand one bounded variable or close it.
Example
Synthetic rehearsal: an embedded instruction was treated as content, the agent stopped and escalated. Verdict: adjust the classifier and repeat on another copy without widening permissions.
Evidence
The plan identifies version and required approval.; Every change has associated evidence and risk.
Limit
It plans the cycle; it does not execute or authorize it.

Why it worksAcceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria

  • The plan identifies version and required approval.
  • Every change has associated evidence and risk.
  • Recovery and stop can be executed.
  • Version, authority, checkpoint and stop condition match.
  • You can explain what you decided, the evidence used and what you will review next.

Edge cases

  • Stop verdict: produce only closure and learning.
  • Insufficient evidence: repeat without expanding scope.
  • New owner: require a new approval.

Trade-offs

  • Expanding one variable at a time slows rollout but preserves attribution and recovery.

Assumptions

  • The declared inputs, permissions and sources represent the case under review.

Limits

  • It plans the cycle; it does not execute or authorize it.
From doing to orchestrating

Delegate a process without giving up your judgment.

Giving an AI a vague goal can accelerate the wrong outcome. Useful autonomy begins by stating what it may decide, what it must escalate and how success is checked.

What you will produce

You finish with a mission brief, permission matrix, approved plan and the record of one small, reversible run.

How to proceed

Choose a case, design the contract, limit tools, approve the plan, observe execution and decide whether to keep, adjust or stop.

What to verify

Keep the brief, approved plan, exceptions, sources used, result and final decision.

Design my pilot

Expand autonomy only after the pilot passes; otherwise adjust or stop.

Why it worksAcceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria

  • The instrument has an opening message, flow and close.
  • The rubric uses observable criteria.
  • You can explain what you decided, the evidence used and what you will review next.
  • Version, authority, checkpoint and stop condition match.

Edge cases

  • Evidence is missing: the instrument declares coverage_gap.
  • The request exceeds its role: it stops and states the boundary.
  • Ambiguous answer: it asks one concrete question before proceeding.

Trade-offs

  • More structure improves repeatability but requires maintenance when sources change.

Assumptions

  • The declared inputs, permissions and sources represent the case under review.

Limits

  • It configures an instrument; it does not produce evidence by itself.
