Questions about this prompt

Best Practices

Critical Best Practices

Use Tool Preambles

critical

Provide clear progress updates before calling tools so users can follow the agent's work. This improves transparency and user experience during long operations.

Example:

“Before calling search tools, explain: "I'm going to search our knowledge base for recent updates on this topic..."”

Source: openai

Define Persistence Behavior

critical

Specify when the agent should continue working vs. asking for clarification. Set clear stop conditions to avoid premature termination or endless loops.

Example:

“Only stop when: (1) Task is fully complete, (2) User explicitly asks to stop, or (3) You encounter an unrecoverable error.”

Source: openai

Define Error Handling Strategy

critical

Specify how agents should handle errors, missing data, and edge cases. Should they retry, escalate, or proceed with uncertainty?

Source: custom

Set Safety Boundaries

critical

Define which actions require confirmation (destructive operations, external API calls, file deletions) vs. which can be done autonomously.

Example:

“Ask before: deleting files, making API calls that cost money, or modifying production databases.”

Recommended Best Practices

Enable Parallel Tool Execution

recommended

Allow agents to call multiple independent tools simultaneously for faster execution. Critical for research and multi-step workflows.

Example:

“When gathering context, run file reads and searches in parallel rather than sequentially.”
