Prompts

All prompts in this system follow a standardized structure defined by the Prompt Template. This template ensures consistency across all workflow prompts with a clear and predictable format.

Standardized Template Structure

Every prompt follows this four-part structure:

Structure Components

Input

Required inputs, file paths, data sources, and parameters
Clearly defines what the prompt needs to work with
Specifies any optional parameters or configurations

Output

Expected output format and structure
File naming conventions
Location where outputs should be saved
Any side effects or state changes

Main Process

Step-by-step workflow in numbered format
Sub-bullets for detailed steps within each main step
Clear, actionable instructions for execution

Caveats

Critical warnings and important considerations
Processing rules and constraints
Quality standards and best practices
Edge cases to be aware of

Benefits

The standardized prompt template provides several key advantages:

Consistent Documentation: All prompts follow the same structure, making them easier to understand and use
Clear Specifications: Input/output requirements are explicitly defined for each workflow step
Easier Maintenance: Updates and improvements can be made systematically
Better Understanding: Users and AI agents can quickly grasp prompt requirements and constraints
Reduced Errors: Explicit caveats and processing rules prevent common mistakes

Prompt Directory Structure

All prompts are organized in the vault:

Usage

Prompts can be executed in several ways:

Via Claude Code/Cursor: Directly reference prompts in your vault
Via CLI: Use the ai4pkm CLI tool with prompt names or inline prompts
Manually: Follow the prompt steps in the markdown files

Example CLI usage:

# Execute a named workflow
ai4pkm -p "DIR for today"

# Execute a specific prompt inline
ai4pkm -p "GDR for yesterday"

# Use a specific agent for a prompt
ai4pkm -a gemini -p "EIC on new articles"
