एआई एजेंट को प्रॉम्प्ट करना चैटबॉट को प्रॉम्प्ट करने से मौलिक रूप से अलग है। चैटबॉट के साथ आप बातचीत कर रहे होते हैं। एजेंट के साथ आप जॉब डिस्क्रिप्शन लिख रहे होते हैं। एजेंट को लक्ष्य, सीमाएँ, अपेक्षित आउटपुट और जब चीजें गलत हो जाएँ तो क्या करना है — यह सब समझना चाहिए, क्योंकि आप हर कदम पर इसका मार्गदर्शन करने के लिए नहीं होंगे।

ये 15 टेम्प्लेट एजेंट उपयोग के लिए संरचित हैं: स्पष्ट लक्ष्य, स्पष्ट सीमाएँ, परिभाषित आउटपुट फॉर्मेट और एरर हैंडलिंग निर्देश। ये Hermes Agent, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex और ChatGPT के मल्टी-स्टेप मोड के साथ काम करते हैं।

मुख्य सीख

एजेंट प्रॉम्प्ट को चैटबॉट प्रॉम्प्ट से तीन चीज़ों की ज़रूरत होती है: एक स्पष्ट सफलता मापदंड ("मुझे कैसे पता चलेगा कि कार्य पूरा हो गया?"), स्पष्ट सीमाएँ (" /src के बाहर फाइल्स को संशोधित न करें") और एरर हैंडलिंग ("अगर API डाउन हो तो 3 बार रिट्राई करें फिर एरर रिपोर्ट करें")। इनके बिना एजेंट टोकन्स बर्बाद करते हैं और अप्रत्याशित परिणाम देते हैं।

Take this article: [paste URL or content] Create: 1. A LinkedIn post (150-200 words, hook + value + question) 2. A Twitter/X thread (5-7 tweets, first tweet is the hook) 3. A Reddit post for r/[subreddit] (educational, no self-promotion in body) 4. 3 short-form video script hooks (under 15 seconds each) Constraints: - No links in any version (kills reach) - Each version should feel native to its platform - LinkedIn: professional, uses line breaks - Twitter: punchy, uses numbers - Reddit: humble, leads with value - Video hooks: pattern interrupt opening

Coding Templates

7 Feature Implementation
Implement [feature description]. Requirements: - [Requirement 1] - [Requirement 2] - [Requirement 3] Constraints: - Only modify files in /src and /tests - Follow existing code style and patterns - Add tests for every new function - Do not modify any database schemas Steps: 1. Read the relevant existing code first 2. Plan the changes before making them 3. Implement 4. Run tests 5. Fix any failures 6. Report what was changed and why Success: All tests pass, feature works as described, no unrelated files modified.
8 Bug Investigation
Bug report: [describe the bug] Expected behavior: [what should happen] Actual behavior: [what actually happens] Steps: 1. Reproduce the bug by reading the relevant code 2. Identify the root cause (not just the symptom) 3. Propose a fix with explanation 4. Implement the fix 5. Add a test that would have caught this bug 6. Run the full test suite to verify no regressions Constraint: Do not refactor unrelated code. Fix only the bug. Report: What caused it, what you changed, and what test you added.

Analysis Templates

9 Data Analysis Report
Analyze this dataset: [attach file or describe location] Steps: 1. Describe the dataset: columns, row count, date range, missing values 2. Calculate [specific metrics: MoM growth, averages, distributions] 3. Identify the top 3 trends or anomalies 4. Create visualizations for key findings 5. Write a 3-paragraph executive summary Output: Report with summary at top, analysis in middle, raw data notes at bottom. Audience: [Non-technical executive / Technical team / Client] Success: Every number is traceable to the source data. No made-up statistics.
10 Document Review
Review this document: [attach file] Check for: 1. Factual accuracy — flag any claims that seem incorrect or unsourced 2. Consistency — are there contradictions between sections? 3. Completeness — what important topics are missing? 4. Clarity — which paragraphs are confusing or ambiguous? 5. Actionability — does each section lead to a clear next step? Output: Annotated feedback organized by section. Format: Section heading → Issue → Suggestion → Priority (High/Medium/Low) Constraint: Be specific. "This section is unclear" is not useful. "Paragraph 3 says 'significant growth' without a number — add the specific percentage" is useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these templates work with all AI agents?

Yes. The structure (goal + constraints + output format + success criteria) is agent-agnostic. The specific capabilities vary by agent — Hermes handles messaging integrations, Claude Code handles codebase access, ChatGPT handles web research — but the prompt structure transfers.

Why do agent prompts need error handling?

Because agents act autonomously. A chatbot shows you its response and you decide what to do next. An agent takes action based on its response. If the action fails and there's no error handling instruction, the agent either stops (wasting your time) or retries incorrectly (wasting API costs).

Can I combine templates?

Yes. Complex workflows often chain templates: Research → Analysis → Content Creation. Some agents (Hermes, CrewAI) handle chained tasks natively. For ChatGPT, break compound tasks into sequential prompts.
