From bfe08e449fa6ccdee0777dbc850d7dcb5ded1a7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Feldman Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2025 20:59:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Tell the system prompt not to write incomplete code (#28245) Sometimes agents do this. I've had some success responding by telling it not to do this, so trying out having it in the system prompt. Release Notes: - Adjusted the system prompt to avoid incomplete code generation. --- assets/prompts/assistant_system_prompt.hbs | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/assets/prompts/assistant_system_prompt.hbs b/assets/prompts/assistant_system_prompt.hbs index 08ff2ef69a..077f25d107 100644 --- a/assets/prompts/assistant_system_prompt.hbs +++ b/assets/prompts/assistant_system_prompt.hbs @@ -9,6 +9,8 @@ You should only perform actions that modify the user's system if explicitly requ - If the user asks a question about how to accomplish a task, provide guidance or information, and use read-only tools (e.g., search) to assist.
