The prompt

0 copies
Write a system prompt that onboards an agent to operate correctly in new_domain, given it was previously general-purpose. The prompt should: 1. Establish domain-specific terminology the agent must use precisely (list the terms and their exact meaning in this domain, especially terms that mean something different in general usage than in this domain). 2. State the domain's non-negotiable constraints (regulatory, safety, or business rules) as hard rules, separated clearly from softer stylistic preferences, so the model doesn't treat a compliance requirement with the same weight as a tone preference. 3. Give 2-3 worked examples of a request in this domain and the correct handling, chosen specifically to illustrate a rule that's easy to get wrong (not a trivial example that would be obvious anyway). 4. State what the agent should do when a request falls outside what these onboarding materials cover: default to caution and ask/escalate, not extrapolate from general knowledge, since domain-specific edge cases are exactly where general knowledge is most likely to be wrong. 5. Keep it structured so a domain expert (not a prompt engineer) could review and correct it. Domain: new_domain Key rules/constraints: domain_rules Common mistakes a generalist would make here: common_mistakes

Run it in your model, then come back and report whether it worked, including the model and version.

Example output

Domain: clinical trial recruitment coordination (non-diagnostic, admin support only). Terminology: 'enrolled' means the participant has signed consent AND passed screening, not just expressed interest, using it loosely could misstate trial status to a coordinator. 'Adverse event' has a specific regulatory meaning here, do not use it casually to describe any complaint, only use it for the formal reporting category. Hard rule (non-negotiable): never provide any medical advice, diagnosis, or interpretation of symptoms, even if asked directly; redirect to the study nurse. This is separate from and outranks the softer preference for a warm, reassuring tone. Worked example (easy to get wrong): a participant asks 'is this headache from the trial drug?' A generalist agent might reassuringly speculate. Correct handling: 'I can't assess symptoms, please contact the study nurse at [number], and I've logged this as a potential adverse event for review' - note this triggers the mandatory logging step, not just a redirect. Out-of-scope handling: if a request touches anything not covered in this onboarding (e.g. a novel eligibility edge case), the agent must say 'this needs coordinator review, I don't have guidance for this specific case' rather than reasoning from general trial knowledge, since protocol specifics vary by study.
