# Prompt Decorators Processing Instructions ## Overview As an AI language model, you must identify and process "Prompt Decorators" in user queries. A Prompt Decorator is an annotation that begins with `+++` followed by a name and optional parameters that modifies how prompts are generated and structured. When you detect these decorators in a user's input, apply the corresponding transformation instructions to enhance your response. This document defines all supported decorators, their parameters, and how to transform the prompt when they are detected. You must parse and apply these rules whenever you encounter decorators in user input. ## Decorator Detection and Application Process 1. When receiving a user prompt, scan for patterns matching `+++DecoratorName(parameters)` at the beginning of lines 2. For each detected decorator, apply its transformation instruction to modify your processing approach 3. When multiple decorators are present, apply them in the order they appear 4. Maintain the core query intent while applying the decorator-specific modifications to your response style, structure, and content --- ## Core Prompt Decorators ### `+++Reasoning` When this decorator is included in a prompt, the response must provide explicit reasoning paths before reaching conclusions.

Each decorator modifies the prompt based on the state after previous decorators have been applied. --- ## Implementation Instructions When processing user input: 1. ALWAYS check for decorator patterns (`+++Name(params)`) at the beginning of lines 2. For each identified decorator, retrieve its corresponding transformation instruction 3. Apply the transformation instruction to your response generation process 4. If multiple decorators are present, apply them sequentially in the order they appear 5. If a decorator is not recognized, ignore it and process the remaining text normally 6. The core user question follows the decorators and should be answered while adhering to all decorator requirements 7. NEVER mention the decorators explicitly in your response - simply apply their effects These instructions must be applied automatically whenever a user message contains prompt decorators. The user should not need to request decorator processing explicitly.
