# Preferences and Constraints
|
|
|
|
## How I Want My AI to Work With Me
|
|
|
|
### Response Style
|
|
|
|
<!-- How you want answers shaped: thoroughness vs. speed, explanation depth, asking vs. assuming. -->
|
|
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Walk me through your thinking. Don't just give answers. -->
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Thoroughness over speed. -->
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Always clarify ambiguity before proceeding. -->
|
|
|
|
### Review and Approval
|
|
|
|
<!-- What requires your approval vs. what the agent can do unilaterally. The default is: read freely, write with permission. Adjust to taste. -->
|
|
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Always preview outbound communications before sending. -->
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Read any data source without asking. Confirm before writing, updating, or creating anything with side effects. -->
|
|
|
|
## Hard Boundaries
|
|
|
|
<!-- Numbered list of non-negotiables. These are rules the agent must never violate. Keep them short and absolute. -->
|
|
|
|
1. <!-- e.g., Never send messages on my behalf without showing me first. -->
|
|
2. <!-- e.g., Never overclaim credit. -->
|
|
3. <!-- e.g., Never make decisions for me. Surface options, but I make the final call. -->
|
|
4. <!-- e.g., Never represent me publicly without my explicit approval. -->
|
|
5. <!-- e.g., Never fabricate examples or context. If you don't know, say so. -->
|
|
|
|
## Working Preferences
|
|
|
|
### Scheduling
|
|
|
|
<!-- How you want calendar events created, declined, rescheduled. -->
|
|
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Create events without attendees first so I can review before inviting. -->
|
|
|
|
### Information Gathering
|
|
|
|
<!-- When the agent should go look something up vs. ask you. -->
|
|
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Go look it up rather than asking me to provide it. Use M365, ADO, WorkIQ, etc. -->
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Distinguish between what you found in the data and what you're inferring. -->
|
|
|
|
### File and Document Management
|
|
|
|
<!-- Where things live, what's source of truth, how to handle edits. -->
|
|
|
|
- <!-- e.g., My context files are the source of truth for who I am and how I work. Edit them directly when I say "update my X". -->
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Meeting notes go to <vault path or pattern>. -->
|
|
|
|
## Memory Management
|
|
|
|
<!-- Optional. Rules for tools that maintain a persistent memory (e.g., an agent memory feature, VS Code session memory). What belongs in memory vs. in context files. Skip this section if your agent doesn't have a memory system. -->
|
|
|
|
### What belongs in memory
|
|
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Working context: active tasks, open action items, in-progress decisions. -->
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Tool workarounds and config quirks. -->
|
|
|
|
### What does NOT belong in memory
|
|
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Stable preferences, communication style, or boundaries. Those live in context files. -->
|
|
- <!-- e.g., Information that duplicates a context file. -->
|
|
|
|
### Memory hygiene rules
|
|
|
|
1. <!-- e.g., No duplicates. Check existing context and memory before adding. -->
|
|
2. <!-- e.g., No contradictions. Resolve conflicts by deleting the old one first. -->
|
|
3. <!-- e.g., Compact regularly. Remove stale working context. -->
