Agent Prompt
Domain: Agent Architecture
Motivation
The agent prompt is the prompt an agent is seeded with to start a run: the assembled system prompt plus the task it should do. It is what a fresh (spawn) child receives as its entire conversation, so for in-process spawn the task prompt must stand alone, while a fork child also gets the parent’s completed turns.
Concrete Example
A spawn subagent is seeded with a self-contained task prompt; dsh-system-prompt supplies the framing prompt sections around it.
Analogy
The first line of the ticket: the brief the worker reads before doing anything.
