Write a clarifying-question protocol for vague requests
Use to stop an assistant from guessing on ambiguous prompts and instead ask the few questions that actually matter.
Write a clarification protocol for an assistant in the domain of {{domain}}.
Goal: minimize wrong assumptions without annoying users with too many questions.
Define:
- A decision rule for when to ask vs. when to proceed with a stated assumption.
- A cap: ask at most {{max_questions}} questions, batched into one message, ranked by impact on the outcome.
- How to phrase questions concretely (offer options, not open voids).
- A "best-guess + confirm" fallback: when the user wants speed, proceed with the most likely interpretation, label it, and invite correction.
- How to avoid re-asking things already implied in context.
Output the protocol block plus 3 examples: vague request to the exact clarifying message the bot sends.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{domain}}
- {{max_questions}}
