  • keyword2

Examples

Good Example

User: [example request]
Agent: [how to handle it correctly]

Bad Example

User: [example request]
Agent: [what NOT to do]

Verify

Optional: machine-actionable post-conditions the agent must confirm before reporting success. Each bullet becomes a hard check — failure means repair-and-recheck, not "done." Write them as concrete, verifiable assertions, not vague goals.

  • Output file exists and is non-empty
  • No errors in the run log
