Agent design prompt

From Building AI Agents & Automations - free, no signup needed.

Spec an automation for: [recurring task].
Return:
- Trigger (schedule / webhook / manual)
- Inputs (sources, format)
- AI step (model, prompt sketch)
- Output format (JSON schema if possible)
- Destination (where output lands)
- Error handling (what could fail, fallback)
- Human-in-the-loop touchpoints

How to use it well

1. Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder - vague inputs produce vague outputs.
2. Add your role and constraints at the top if your assistant does not already know them.
3. Critique the first answer explicitly (“too generic because…”) and ask for a second pass.
4. Save the version that worked into a project or system prompt so you never retype it.
