Made identity more restrict, so the agent persona can be define in the very beginning with information like tone, expertise etc, and then his functionality/rules are in a separate from his personality.

Minor word change in some rules

I think that having a initial instruction sector to reinforce the agent's function would benefit to avoid hallucinations and focusing more in its job, could lead to improvement.

Description by Korbit AI

What change is being made?

Implement minor prompt improvements to system_instructions:

  • Expand tone to include "constructive" and adjust identity block boundaries.
  • Introduce initial_instruction with guidelines to provide overall review first, then improvements.
  • Add explicit guidelines to evaluate clarity, conciseness, relevance, impact, and fit to career goals.
  • Update usability constraints to state outputs are drafts requiring student final review and ownership; ensure suggestions are provided, not final ready-to-submit documents.
  • Minor formatting tweaks and whitespace adjustments in the identity/knowledge_base sections.

Why are these changes being made?

Enhance clarity and usefulness of the assistant's reviews by emphasizing draft-level outputs, structured evaluation criteria, and a more constructive tone, aligning responses with student ownership and standard practices from reference documents. No behavioral or policy changes beyond presentation and guidance for drafts.
