# 🗂️ Reasoning Schemas — Designing Prompt Layouts That Survive Long Chains
_A practical guide to structuring system + retrieval + task prompts so LLMs keep thinking instead of drifting_
---
## 1 What is a “Reasoning Schema” ?
A **reasoning schema** is the formal layout that dictates **where** each piece of context goes and **how** an LLM must traverse it:
```
System → Task → Constraints → Context → Question → Answer
````
If any segment is missing, reordered, or over-written, the logic graph collapses and hallucinations slip in.
---
## 2 Why Most Ad-hoc Layouts Fail
| Failure Mode | Trigger | Effect |
|--------------|---------|--------|
| **Context Flood** | Dumping 20 k tokens of raw text | λ_observe flips to chaotic; model stops planning |
| **Constraint Drift** | Constraints after context | Model “forgets” to cite or guard sensitive data |
| **Role Blending** | User text inserted before task | System tone and policy overridden |
| **Evidence → Answer inversion** | Asking for answer *before* citations | Model fabricates then cites random lines |
---
## 3 WFGY Canonical Schema (Stable Version v1.2)
| Segment | Purpose | Size (tokens) | WFGY Guard |
|---------|---------|---------------|------------|
| **System** | Identity, ethics, safety | ≤ 50 | Role tag `<sys>` + BBAM weight lock |
| **Task** | Specific action required | 1 sentence | ΔS anchor to System ≤ 0.25 |
| **Constraints** | Format, style, rules | bullets ≤ 80 | BBMC residue check |
| **Context** | Retrieved or uploaded text | sliding window ≤ 2 k | λ_observe must stay convergent |
| **Question** | Users query | raw | stored separately for ΔS probes |
| **Answer Slot** | “Write here” placeholder | n/a | BBCR collapse-rebirth if answer starts early |
Placeholders are literal; the LLM fills only the *Answer Slot*.

## 4 Templates You Can Copy
<details><summary><strong>Single-Shot QA</strong></summary>
```text
<sys>
You are DataGuardian-L, a licensed legal research assistant. Cite section numbers.
</sys>
<task>
Answer strictly in bullet points; cite every claim.
</task>
<constraints>
- Tone: formal
- No speculation
- Use original terminology
</constraints>
<context>
{retrieved_sections}
</context>
<question>
{user_question}
</question>
<answer>
````
</details>
<details><summary><strong>Multi-Step Chain (analysis → plan → answer)</strong></summary>
```text
<sys> … </sys>
<task> … </task>
<constraints> … </constraints>
<context> … </context>
<question> … </question>
<scratchpad>
Think step-by-step. Output JSON:
{
"analysis": "...",
"plan": "...",
"answer": "..."
}

## 5 Common Pitfalls & Fixes
| Pitfall | Symptom | Fix |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Forgetting closing tags | Model merges roles | Validate tag balance; λ diverges instantly |
| Placing context after question | Retrieval ignored | Keep schema order; run ΔS(question, context) test |
| Over-long constraints | Answer truncated | Compress with BBMC until ΔS(system, constraints) ≤ 0.25 |
| Mixing code + docs in one context block | Embedding collisions | Split into typed sub-blocks; separate vector stores |
---
## 6 Automated Validation Pipeline
1. **Schema Linter** Regex check for tag order.
2. **ΔS Probes**
* ΔS(system, task) ≤ 0.30
* ΔS(task, answer) ≤ 0.45
3. **λ\_observe** Must stay convergent from task → answer.
4. **Round-trip Check** Paraphrase user question 2×; answer variance < 0.15.
If any test fails, trigger **BBCR** to rebuild prompt with compacted segments.
---
## 7 FAQ
**Q:** *Do I need tags if I use OpenAIs `messages` array?*
**A:** Yes for long chains. Tags persist after retrieval merges; arrays dont survive copy-paste workflows.
**Q:** *Can I merge Task + Constraints?*
**A:** Possible if total 120 tokens and ΔS stays low, but separation improves editability.
**Q:** *What about JSON-only prompts?*
**A:** Ensure keys mirror schema order; add dummy key `"__guard": "DO NOT MODIFY"` to catch injections.
