Common questions
- Does a supplied prompt guarantee correct results?
- No. It still needs suitable information and a capable system.
- Can the prompt require additional details?
- Yes. A reusable request may have places for task-specific values.
- Does accepting a prompt grant permission for every action it mentions?
- No. Actual permissions and approvals should still govern what can happen.
