What is Prompt? (System prompt)
2 min read · Bolcho
The written instructions that define an agent's persona, goal, rules, and conversation flow — the single most important thing you configure.
Prompt explained
A prompt tells the agent who it is, what it's trying to do, how to speak, and how to handle the situations that actually come up. A vague prompt yields a rambling, robotic agent; a structured one yields an agent that sounds human and stays on task.
Bolcho recommends a specific prompt structure (Role, Context, Most Important Rule, Response Guidelines, Call Flow, Scenarios, Closing) with copy-paste templates.
