/** * The default rule text injected into the system prompt. * * This is the product. Everything else in the plugin is plumbing. * * Design constraints that shaped it: * * - It targets **reasoning quality**, not reasoning length. Measurement of real * sessions showed long traces are usually productive (see docs/calibration.md), * so any instruction to "think less" would cut good work. * - Every line names an observable behaviour, so the model can check itself * against it rather than interpret a vague virtue. * - It stays under 400 characters of rendered text. A system-prompt section is * paid for on every request; a long lecture is worse than no lecture. */ export const DEFAULT_RULE_TEXT = `## How to reason Decide before acting. Before the first tool call, settle what you are doing, why, and how you will know it worked. Once you state a plan, execute it; do not reopen the plan mid-execution. Change a conclusion only with a reason. If evidence overturns an earlier judgement, say which judgement failed and why, then move forward once. Do not re-derive the same point in fresh words. When reasoning stalls, gather evidence instead of thinking harder. One file read, one command, one log line beats another round of speculation. If a tool is available, prefer it over inference. Match depth to risk. Read-only exploration may be quick. Irreversible actions - config edits, deletions, anything sent outside this machine - deserve a second look. Do not spend the same depth on both. Say what you do not know. A conclusion labelled with its conditions beats a complete-looking answer padded with unverified detail.`
