- ## Overview
14
-
15
- This document contains the actual prompt templates used in the OLLM CLI system. These templates are assembled by the SystemPromptBuilder to create the final system prompt sent to the LLM.
16
-
17
- **Template Location:** `packages/core/src/prompts/templates/`

21
- ## Prompt Assembly Architecture
22
-
23
- ### Assembly Order
24
-
25
- The system prompt is assembled in the following order:
26
-
27
- ```
28
- [Final System Prompt]
29
- ├─ 1. Core Mandates (always included)
30
- ├─ 2. Active Skills (if any)
31
- ├─ 3. Sanity Checks (tier 2+)
32
- ├─ 4. Mode-Specific Template (tier-based)
33
- └─ 5. Additional Instructions (custom)
34
- ```
35
-
36
- ### Builder Location
37
-
38
- **File:** `packages/core/src/context/SystemPromptBuilder.ts`
39
-
40
- ```typescript
41
- export class SystemPromptBuilder {
42
- build(config: SystemPromptConfig): string {
43
- const sections: string[] = [];
44
-
45
- // 1. Mandates (Tier 1)
46
- sections.push(MANDATES_PROMPT.content);
47
-
48
- // 2. Active Skills (Tier 2)
49
- if (config.skills?.length > 0) {
50
- sections.push(skillsContent);
51
- }
52
-
53
- // 3. Sanity Checks (Tier 2/3)
54
- if (config.useSanityChecks) {
55
- sections.push(REALITY_CHECK_PROMPT.content);
56
- }
57
-
58
- // 4. Custom Instructions
59
- if (config.additionalInstructions) {
60
- sections.push(config.additionalInstructions);
61
- }
62
-
63
- return sections.join('\n\n');
64
- }
65
- }
66
- ```
67
-
68
- ---
69
-
70
- ## Hardcoded Prompt Components
71
-
72
- These components are always included regardless of tier or mode.
73
-
74
- ### 1. Core Identity
75
-
76
- **File:** `packages/core/src/prompts/templates/identity.ts`
77
-
78
- **Purpose:** Defines the base persona of the agent
79
-
80
- **Content:**
81
-
82
- ```
83
- You are {{agentType}}CLI agent specializing in software engineering tasks.
84
- Your primary goal is to help users safely and efficiently, adhering strictly
85
- to the following instructions and utilizing your available tools.
86
- ```
87
-
88
- **Token Budget:** ~30 tokens
89
- **Tier:** All tiers
90
-
91
- ---
92
-
93
- ### 2. Core Mandates
94
-
95
- **File:** `packages/core/src/prompts/templates/mandates.ts`
96
-
97
- **Purpose:** Immutable rules handling code style, safety, and behavior
98
-
99
- **Content:**
100
-
101
- ```
102
- # Core Mandates
103
-
104
- - **Conventions:** Rigorously adhere to existing project conventions (style, naming,
105
- patterns) when reading or modifying code. Analyze surrounding code first.
106
- - **Verification:** NEVER assume a library/framework is available. Verify via
107
- 'package.json' or imports before usage.
108
- - **Idiomatic Changes:** Ensure changes integrate naturally. Understanding local
109
- context (imports, class hierarchy) is mandatory.
110
- - **Comments:** Add comments sparingly and only for "why", not "what".
111
- - **Proactiveness:** Fulfill the request thoroughly, including adding tests for
112
- new features.
113
- - **Ambiguity:** Do not take significant actions beyond the clear scope of the request.
114
- - **Output:** Be professional and concise. Avoid conversational filler ("Okay",
115
- "I will now").
116
- - **Tool Usage:** Proactively use available tools to gather information before
117
- making assumptions. Prefer file reading tools over guessing file contents, use
118
- grep/glob for discovery, leverage memory for important context, and use web
119
- search for current information about libraries and frameworks.
120
- ```
121
-
122
- **Token Budget:** ~200 tokens
123
- **Tier:** All tiers (Tier 1+)
124
-
125
- ---
126
-
127
- ### 3. Reality Check Protocol (Sanity Checks)
128
-
129
- **File:** `packages/core/src/prompts/templates/sanity.ts`
130
-
131
- **Purpose:** Safety protocols for preventing hallucinations and loops
132
-
133
- **Content:**
134
-
135
- ```
136
- # Reality Check Protocol
137
-
138
- - **Pre-Flight:** Before editing any file, you MUST read it first to verify its
139
- content matches your assumptions.
140
- - **Reproduction:** Before fixing a bug, you MUST reproduce it or read the exact
141
- error log/traceback.
142
- - **Confusion Protocol:** If you are confused, stuck in a loop, or receive multiple
143
- tool errors, STOP. Use the `write_memory_dump` tool to clear your mind and plan
144
- your next steps externally.
145
- ```
146
-
147
- **Token Budget:** ~100 tokens
148
- **Tier:** Tier 2+ (enabled for smaller models prone to hallucinations)
149
-
150

151
-
152
- ## Mode-Specific Templates
153
-
154
- Each operational mode has 5 tier-specific templates that scale in detail and sophistication.
155
-
156
- ### Template Structure

422
- When Making Decisions:
423
- 1. Understand the full context and requirements
424
- 2. Consider 2-3 different approaches
425
- 3. Evaluate trade-offs (complexity, performance, maintainability)
426
- 4. Choose the approach that best fits the constraints
427
- 5. Document why you chose this approach
428
- 6. Implement with proper error handling and tests
429
- 7. Consider how this fits into the larger system
430
-
431
- Remember: Code is read far more often than it's written. Optimize for clarity and maintainability.

698
- - Provide clear reproduction steps (Minimal Reproducible Example)
699
- - Document fixes and prevention strategies (regression tests)
700
-
701
- Debugging Process:

718
- ✗ Don't fix symptoms (e.g., adding `if (x)` checks) without understanding why `x` is bad
719
- ✗ Don't change multiple things at once (variable isolation)
720

721
- ✗ Don't assume libraries/frameworks are bug-free (but verify your code first)
722
-
723
- Examples - Do This, Not That:
724
-
725
- Root Cause Analysis:
726
- ✓ DO:
727
- "The API returns 400 because the date format is 'YYYY-MM-DD' but the backend
728
- expects 'ISO8601'. Fix: Update the date formatter to use `toISOString()`."
729
-
730
- ✗ DON'T:
731
- "The API is failing. Let's try sending it as a string."
732
-
733
- Isolation:
734

- "I'll comment out the authentication middleware to see if the request reaches
736
- the controller independently."
737
-
738
- ✗ DON'T:
739
- "I'll rewrite the controller assuming Auth is broken."
740
-
741
- Investigation:
742
- ✓ DO:
743
- "Let's add logging to the start and end of the function to see if it hangs
744
- or returns early."
745
-
746
- ✗ DON'T:
747
- "It looks like it's hanging. I'll increase the timeout."
748
-
749

- ## Template Selection Logic
933
-
934
- ### Automatic Selection
935
-
936
- **File:** `packages/core/src/prompts/PromptRegistry.ts`
937
-
938
- The system automatically selects the appropriate template based on:
939
-
940
- 1. **Context Tier** - Determined by context size
941
- 2. **Operational Mode** - Developer, Planning, Debugger, or Assistant
942
-
943
- ```typescript
944
- function selectTemplate(tier: ContextTier, mode: OperationalMode): string {
945
- const tierNumber = getTierNumber(tier); // 1-5
946
- const templatePath = `templates/${mode}/tier${tierNumber}.txt`;
947
-
948
- // Fallback logic
949
- if (!fileExists(templatePath)) {
950
- // Assistant mode only has tier 4 and 5
951
- if (mode === 'assistant' && tierNumber < 4) {
952
- return loadTemplate('assistant', 4);
953
- }
954
- // Default to tier 3 for other modes
955
- return loadTemplate(mode, 3);
956
- }
957
-
958
- return loadTemplate(mode, tierNumber);
959
- }
960
- ```
961
-
962
- ### Tier Mapping
963
-
964
- | Context Size | Tier Number | Tier Label |
965
- | ------------ | ----------- | ----------- |
966
- | 2K, 4K | 1 | Minimal |
967
- | 8K | 2 | Basic |
968
- | 16K | 3 | Standard ⭐ |
969
- | 32K | 4 | Premium |
970
- | 64K, 128K | 5 | Ultra |

977
-
978
- | Tier | Core Mandates | Sanity Checks | Mode Template | Total Budget |
979
- | ------ | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
980
- | Tier 1 | 200 tokens | - | 200 tokens | ~400 tokens |
981
- | Tier 2 | 200 tokens | 100 tokens | 500 tokens | ~800 tokens |
982
- | Tier 3 | 200 tokens | 100 tokens | 1000 tokens | ~1300 tokens |

- ### Overhead Analysis
987
-
988
- | Tier | Context Size | Prompt Budget | Overhead % | Workspace |
989
- | ------ | ------------ | ------------- | ---------- | -------------- |
990
- | Tier 1 | 4K | 400 tokens | 10.0% | 3,600 tokens |
991
- | Tier 2 | 8K | 800 tokens | 10.0% | 7,200 tokens |
992
- | Tier 3 | 16K | 1,300 tokens | 8.1% | 14,700 tokens |

- ## Customization
999
-
1000
- ### Adding Custom Templates
1001
-
1002
- Users can add custom templates by:
1003
-
1004
- 1. Creating a new template file in the appropriate directory
1005
- 2. Registering it with the PromptRegistry
1006
- 3. Referencing it in configuration
1007
-
1008
- **Example:**
1009
-
1010
- ```typescript
1011
- // Custom template
1012
- const customTemplate: PromptDefinition = {
1013
- id: 'custom-developer-tier3',
1014
- name: 'Custom Developer Tier 3',
1015
- content: 'Your custom prompt content...',
1016
- description: 'Custom developer prompt for tier 3',
1017
- source: 'user',
1018
- tags: ['custom', 'developer', 'tier3'],
1019
- };
1020
-
1021
- // Register
1022
- promptRegistry.register(customTemplate);
1023
-
1024
- // Use
1025
- systemPromptBuilder.setCustomTemplate('developer', 3, customTemplate);
1026
- ```
1027
-
1028
- ### Template Variables
1029
-
1030
- Templates support variable substitution:
1031
-
1032
- - `{{agentType}}` - Agent type (e.g., "OLLM ")
1033
- - `{{userName}}` - User name if available
1034
- - `{{projectName}}` - Project name if available
1035
- - `{{skills}}` - Active skills list
1036
- - `{{tools}}` - Available tools list
1037
-
1038

1039
-
1040
- ## Best Practices
1041
-
1042
- ### 1. Template Maintenance
1043
-
1044
- - Keep templates in sync across tiers
1045
- - Update all tiers when changing core behavior
1046
- - Test templates with different model sizes
1047
- - Verify token counts match budgets
1048
-
1049
- ### 2. Content Guidelines
1050
-
1051
- - Use clear, actionable language
1052
- - Provide concrete examples (do/don't)
1053
- - Include guardrails (what NOT to do)
1054
- - Explain reasoning and trade-offs
1055
- - Keep examples realistic and practical
1056
-
1057
- ### 3. Token Efficiency
1058
-
1059
- - Remove redundant content
1060
- - Use concise language
1061
- - Prioritize high-value guidance
1062
- - Test with actual token counter
1063
- - Monitor overhead percentages
