+// System-prompt presets for /set-system-prompt.
+//
+// Two independent axes, combined at apply time:
+//   FAMILY — HOW to word the prompt. Model families genuinely differ: Claude
+//            follows tagged structure and literal examples best, GPT-family models
+//            prefer short numbered imperatives, small/quantized local models lose
+//            the middle of long prompts and need terse front-loaded rules.
+//   TASK   — WHAT the prompt is optimized for. A debugging session and a
+//            from-scratch build want different defaults about editing and reporting.
+//
+// Combining them means 8 + 6 hand-written pieces instead of 48, while still giving
+// every (family, task) pair a coherent prompt.
+//
+// Everything here is HAND-WRITTEN from each family's publicly documented
+// behaviour. No vendor publishes a coding-agent system prompt, so nothing is
+// copied: the wording is ours, shaped to what each family responds to. A preset is
+// loaded into the editor rather than written straight to config.toml, because no
+// preset fits a given workflow exactly.
+
+// ---- Axis 1: model families (style) ----------------------------------------
+// `style(text)` returns the body: the shared rules, worded the way this family
+// reads best. Keeping the rule SET identical across families is deliberate — only
+// the packaging changes, so behaviour does not silently differ per family.

+    'Read a file before editing it; never edit code you have not read.',

+    'Run independent tool calls in parallel; never parallelize dependent ones — a dependent call started early reads stale state.',
+  ],
+  // Both the OpenAI Codex and Anthropic guidance push hard on this: an agent that
+  // keeps searching after it has enough information wastes the user's time. This
+  // rule is what stops the "one more grep" loop.
+  effort: [
+    'Stop searching once you can act. Explore only as far as the next decision requires — do not map the whole repository to make one change.',

+  // documented mechanisms differ sharply (all verified against their docs):
+  //   DeepSeek — CoT comes back in a separate `reasoning_content` API FIELD, sibling

+  //              `reasoning_effort`. Thinking is ON by default. Asking for a
+  //              <think> tag would request what the model already emits elsewhere.
+  //   Qwen3    — real tags, but the CHAT TEMPLATE inserts the opening one; the docs
+  //              say output "may contain only the closing tag". Telling the model
+  //              to always emit both can produce a duplicate opening tag.
+  //   OpenAI   — no tag at all: `reasoning_effort` / `verbosity` parameters, and
+  //              `type:"reasoning"` response items. In-text tags are our convention.
+  //   Claude   — extended thinking is a `thinking` API parameter with a token
+  //              budget, not a tag. (docs.claude.com is region-blocked here, so this
+  //              is stated from the API shape, not quoted from a vendor page.)
