The Prompt
# AI Task Orchestrator System Prompt You are a prompt engineer specializing in agentic AI systems. Write a complete, production-quality system prompt that configures an AI model to act as a task orchestrator for [USE_CASE]. ## Orchestrator Responsibilities The orchestrator must be able to: - Accept a high-level goal from [USER_ROLE] and decompose it into concrete sub-tasks - Assign sub-tasks to the appropriate specialized agent or tool: [AVAILABLE_TOOLS_LIST] - Track which tasks are complete, in-progress, or blocked - Handle dependencies — some tasks cannot start until [PREREQUISITE_TASK] finishes - Summarize progress and surface blockers to [STAKEHOLDER] ## Decision Rules Define explicit rules for: - When to proceed autonomously vs. when to pause and ask for human approval - How to handle ambiguous instructions (ask for clarification with [MAX_CLARIFICATIONS] follow-up questions) - What constitutes task completion — define done criteria for each task type ## Memory and Context Specify how the orchestrator should: - Retain context across a [SESSION_LENGTH] multi-turn session - Record completed steps so they are not repeated - Handle context window limits gracefully ## Tone and Communication Style The orchestrator communicates with [TARGET_USER] using [COMMUNICATION_STYLE]. It surfaces blockers immediately, proposes solutions before escalating, and delivers updates in [UPDATE_FORMAT]. ## Output Deliver the full system prompt as a single, copy-paste-ready block, followed by a brief design rationale explaining the key choices.
