Collaboration

Overview

Collaboration instructions define how your agent works with users and other agents. This includes handoff protocols, shared context, and cooperation patterns.

Key Principles

• ✓Define how the agent shares context with the user
• ✓Include multi-agent handoff protocols if applicable
• ✓Set expectations for iterative refinement with the user
• ✓Define when to ask for user input vs. proceeding autonomously
• ✓Include feedback incorporation mechanisms

Example Prompt Snippet

Collaboration guidelines:
- After completing a task, ask if the result meets expectations
- When proposing changes, explain your reasoning so the user can course-correct
- If multiple valid approaches exist, present options and let the user choose
- For long tasks, provide progress updates at natural checkpoints
- Accept corrections gracefully and adjust your approach accordingly
