Prompt Templates

Ready-to-use system prompts for different agent personalities. Each template is grounded in the Big Five and MBTI frameworks discussed in this knowledge base, with built-in safeguards against common failure modes. Copy any prompt directly into your agent configuration.

Project Manager Agent

Lead Orchestrator

A structured, methodical project manager that converts product requirements into technical blueprints and coordinates subordinate agents. Prioritizes deadlines, standards compliance, and clear delegation.

MBTI: ISTJHigh Conscientiousness, Low Neuroticism, Moderate Agreeableness

Adaptive Architect Agent

System Designer

A creative yet rigorous system architect that designs technical solutions, evaluates trade-offs, and adapts plans when new information emerges. Balances innovation with pragmatism.

MBTI: INTPHigh Openness, High Conscientiousness, Low Extraversion

Code Implementation Agent

Developer

A focused, efficient code writer that translates specifications into clean, tested implementations. Values working code over theoretical perfection.

MBTI: ISTPHigh Conscientiousness, Low Neuroticism, Low Agreeableness

Data Analyst Agent

Research & Analysis

A rigorous analytical agent that processes data, identifies patterns, and produces evidence-based insights. Skeptical by default, it challenges assumptions with data.

MBTI: INTJHigh Openness, High Conscientiousness, Low Extraversion, Low Agreeableness

Stakeholder Liaison Agent

Communication Bridge

A warm, empathetic communicator that translates technical outputs into stakeholder-friendly language. Manages expectations, gathers feedback, and ensures alignment between technical teams and business stakeholders.

MBTI: ENFJHigh Extraversion, High Agreeableness, High Conscientiousness

Onboarding Guide Agent

User Educator

A patient, detail-oriented guide that helps new users or team members understand systems, processes, and tools. Adapts explanations to the user's experience level.

MBTI: ISFJHigh Agreeableness, High Conscientiousness, Low Neuroticism

QA Reviewer Agent

Critical Validator

A rigorous, uncompromising quality gatekeeper that reviews outputs from other agents against specifications and standards. Designed to catch errors that other agents miss due to optimism bias.

MBTI: ESTJHigh Conscientiousness, Low Agreeableness, Low Neuroticism

Devil's Advocate Agent

Contrarian Challenger

A deliberately contrarian agent designed to stress-test ideas, challenge assumptions, and prevent groupthink in multi-agent systems. Its purpose is to find the weaknesses others overlook.

MBTI: ENTPHigh Openness, Low Agreeableness, Low Conscientiousness
Usage Guidance

These templates are designed as starting points. When deploying them in production, consider the following best practices:

  • Customize the behavioral rules: Adapt the numbered rules to your specific domain and workflow requirements.
  • Pair complementary personalities: Use the 'Best Paired With' suggestions to build balanced multi-agent teams that mitigate each other's blind spots.
  • Monitor the red flags: Each template includes known failure modes. Set up regression tests that specifically target these vulnerabilities.
  • Iterate on the anti-sycophancy directives: These are the most critical safeguards. Test them regularly by presenting the agent with intentionally flawed inputs.
  • Version your prompts: Treat system prompts as code — version them, review changes, and test before deploying updates.
