Introduce a new prompt "protocol" separate from extras: add LoopData.protocol_temporary and protocol_persistent, include protocol contents before message history during prompt construction, and clear temporary protocol data each turn. Add helper _build_context_message to render protocol/extras, update response input conversion to include protocol, and move project instructions & active/loaded skills injection into protocol. Update docs, prompts, plugin metadata, the SkillsTool message, and add tests to verify protocol placement and behavior.
Trying to steer the model into treating the final curly brace of a JSON obj as EOS token. Also defaulting to concise responses, expanding only when needed.
Promote the a0_small prompt work into the shipped default stack.
Token count for default prompt, accounting for tools, plugins, secrets placeholders, inactive project, etc: 2996 tokens.
- migrate compact prompt fragments into core prompts, plugin-owned prompts, and the agent0 overlay
- remove the obsolete a0_small profile and rename the tool-call knowledge reference to a generic framework file
- keep a small set of high-value JSON examples while preserving key guardrails for tool names, tool args, and method-style calls
- bake balanced conciseness into default response behavior without changing the initial greeting
- drop the call_sub prompt-side loader and keep call_sub guidance self-contained
- restore essential secrets/security guidance, preserve inactive-project messaging, and rebalance the A2A prompt
- add a regression test that verifies the assembled default agent0 prompt stays under the token budget and retains critical guardrails
