Tip: Give an Example (Few-Shot)

One concrete example teaches ChatGPT your exact style, tone, and level of detail better than any amount of description. This is the few-shot technique in action.

Prompt
Convert these feature descriptions into user-facing release notes. Match the tone and format of my example exactly.

Example input: "Added retry logic with exponential backoff to API calls"
Example output: "More reliable connections — API requests now automatically retry with smart spacing if they fail, so you experience fewer interruptions."

Now convert these:
1. {{feature_1}}
2. {{feature_2}}
3. {{feature_3}}

Variables to customize

{{feature_1}}{{feature_2}}{{feature_3}}

Task Decomposition Agent

Forcing the agent to plan before acting prevents premature execution and wasted steps. Explicit dependency mapping enables parallel execution and catches logical gaps early.

Tool Selection Agent

The ReAct pattern (Reason + Act) creates an explicit reasoning trace that improves tool selection accuracy. The error-handling rule prevents infinite retry loops.

Prompt Compressor

Explicitly requiring all functional requirements to be preserved prevents the model from over-compressing and losing critical instructions.

Memory Management Agent

Explicit memory read/write instructions create agents that improve over time. Categorization keeps memories organized, and the deduplication rule prevents context bloat.
