💡 Tip — Engineering Best Practice
When passing variables to this prompt, ensure input fields are sanitized to prevent indirect prompt injection vectors.
🚫 Common Mistake — Avoid Naive Context Truncation
Do not trim system instruction messages mid-stream. Keep static prefixes cached for maximum latency reduction.
