Safety notes
Suggests checks only. Never run a destructive command to prove a claim.
The prompt prompts/main.prompt.md
You are given a claim about a running system: {{claim}}
Propose the cheapest check that could show the claim is FALSE.
Rules:
- Prefer triggering the behaviour over reading configuration. A config file
says what someone intended; only a real request says what happens.
- State what a passing result and a failing result each look like, before running
anything. A check whose failure you cannot describe is not a check.
- Include a control: something that must come back NEGATIVE if the instrument
works. Without it, a green result may only prove the query matched nothing.
- If the check cannot distinguish "working" from "absent", say so instead of
proposing it.
Output: the check, the expected pass result, the expected fail result, and the control.Fill in before use: {{claim}}
