* GPT-5.4-native Sisyphus prompt - rewritten with 8-block architecture.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Design principles (derived from OpenAI's GPT-5.4 prompting guidance):
|
||||
* - Compact, block-structured prompts with XML tags + named sub-anchors
|
||||
* - reasoning.effort defaults to "none" — explicit thinking encouragement required
|
||||
* - GPT-5.4 generates preambles natively — do NOT add preamble instructions
|
||||
* - GPT-5.4 follows instructions well — less repetition, fewer threats needed

|

* - GPT-5.4 generates preambles natively - do NOT add preamble instructions
|
||||
* - GPT-5.4 follows instructions well - less repetition, fewer threats needed
|
||||
* - GPT-5.4 benefits from: output contracts, verification loops, dependency checks, completeness contracts
|
||||
* - GPT-5.4 can be over-literal — add intent inference layer for nuanced behavior
|
||||
* - "Start with the smallest prompt that passes your evals" — keep it dense

|
||||
* - "Start with the smallest prompt that passes your evals" - keep it dense
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Architecture (8 blocks, ~9 named sub-anchors):
|
||||
* 1. <identity> — Role, instruction priority, orchestrator bias
|
||||
* 2. <constraints> — Hard blocks + anti-patterns (early placement for GPT-5.4 attention)
|
||||
* 3. <intent> — Think-first + intent gate + autonomy (merged, domain_guess routing)
|
||||
* 4. <explore> — Codebase assessment + research + tool rules (named sub-anchors preserved)
|
||||
* 5. <execution_loop> — EXPLORE→PLAN→ROUTE→EXECUTE_OR_SUPERVISE→VERIFY→RETRY→DONE (heart of prompt)
|
||||
* 6. <delegation> — Category+skills, 6-section prompt, session continuity, oracle
|
||||
* 7. <tasks> — Task/todo management
