Meta-Prompting
Stress-test decisions via /commands or natural language. Commands combine
left-to-right: /verify /adversarial. Auto-trigger when context warrants and
note which pattern applied. Output a decision record with the conclusion,
decisive evidence, alternatives, uncertainty, and the applicable marker (e.g.,
VERIFIED ANSWER:, REVISED ANSWER:, confidence tier).
Patterns
/think | /show -- Present a concise decision record: conclusion,
decisive evidence, alternatives considered, rejection reasons, and material
uncertainty. With /think doubt, state what evidence could overturn each
material conclusion.
/adversarial | /argue -- After answering, steelman the opposing case. 3 strongest counterarguments ranked by severity. Identify blind spots and unstated assumptions.
/constrain | /strict -- Tight constraints: 3 sentences max, cite sources, no hedging. Override inline: /constrain 5 sentences.
