Prompt
I need {{count}} variations of {{content_type}} for {{purpose}}.

For each variation, use a different creative approach:
1. Conservative: Straightforward and professional. No risks.
2. Balanced: Slightly creative but still safe for {{audience}}.
3. Bold: Unexpected angle, distinctive voice, pattern-breaking.
{{additional_variations}}

For each variation, include a one-line note explaining the creative strategy used.

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.
