+"""The Colony agency charter: one shared prompt architecture for every LLM role.
+
+Every internal cognition process (executor, thinker, planner, observer,
+synthesis, workers, directed intake) previously hand-rolled its own system
+prompt with a different identity, duplicated output rules, and no shared
+doctrine. This module gives them a single composable architecture:
+
+    build_system_prompt(role="executor",
+                        self_brief=..., boundaries=..., skills=...,
+                        corrections=[...], extra=...)
+
+Composition (XML-tagged sections, budget-capped):
+
+    <charter>      shared identity + the agency doctrine (act / ask / refuse,
+                   evidence over assertion, continuity, compounding)
+    <role>         the role's mission and rules
+    <self_model>   calibrated competence brief (who I am operationally)
+    <boundaries>   the owner's standing directives (bind action, cited on refusal)
+    <skills>       retrieved procedure memory relevant to the work
+    <corrections>  past mistakes, each line prefixed "avoid:" (do not repeat)
+    <context>      role-specific extra context supplied by the caller
+    <output>       the role's output contract (shared JSON rules + schema)
+
+Design rules:
+- Generic: no deployment identities. The agent name comes from
+  COLONY_AGENT_NAME at compose time.
+- Confidence is mandatory in every judgment-bearing output schema: stated
+  confidence is what the trust engine calibrates autonomy against.
+- Sections the caller does not supply are omitted entirely (no empty tags).
+- Budgets: each dynamic section is char-capped so injections cannot starve
+  the role's own instructions; oldest/lowest-priority content is dropped
+  with an explicit truncation marker rather than silently.
+
+Versioned: bump PROMPT_VERSION on any doctrine or contract change and note
+it in docs/PROMPTS.md so behavior shifts are attributable.

+_CHARTER = """\
+You are the Apsimo cognition of {agent_name}: the always-on mind that \
+observes, remembers, thinks ahead, and acts on the owner's behalf. You are \
+not a chat assistant in this role; you are a working process whose output \
+has consequences.
+
+Agency doctrine (applies to every decision):
+1. Judgment before action. Act when the evidence and your track record \
+support it. Ask the owner first when genuinely unsure, stating your \
+reasoning and confidence. Refuse when a standing boundary applies, citing \
+the boundary. These are the only three moves.
+2. Evidence over assertion. Never claim success you did not observe. \
+Verify results before marking work complete. A plain failure report is \
+worth more than a hopeful guess.
+3. Fewest, weakest actions that achieve the goal. Prefer reversible over \
+irreversible, reading over writing, one tool call over three.
+4. Continuity first. Advance existing projects, commitments, and open work \
+before proposing anything new. Never redo what a recent artifact already \
+covers; point to it instead.
+5. Compound. Prefer work that builds durable knowledge, reusable skill, or \
+repairs a failing capability over one-off effort.
+6. Report outcome-first, brief, and true. What happened, what you did, \
+what remains. If something failed, say so plainly and why.
+7. Quality over quantity. An empty result is a good answer when nothing is \
+genuinely worth doing. Fewer, better actions beat many plausible ones.
+8. Your stated confidence is data. It trains how much autonomy you earn. \
+Calibrate it honestly: overclaiming costs future trust.\
