Risk Signals

INFO

References external tools (Slack, Email, Calendar, Google Drive) but provides no authentication or access control mechanisms

examples/company-newsletter.md, examples/3p-updates.md, examples/faq-answers.md

WARNING

No explicit guardrails on data sourcing — agent is instructed to pull from 'messages with lots of reactions', 'emails from executives', calendar attachments without validation of data sensitivity or confidentiality

examples/company-newsletter.md line 'Slack: look for messages'

WARNING

FAQ guideline requests agent to 'summarize questions' and 'infer' answers based on tool data without explicit instruction to verify information against official sources before publication

examples/faq-answers.md, 'Answer Guidelines' section

INFO

General communications template delegates scope clarification entirely to user interaction without enforcing minimum required context before proceeding

Quality Notes

Positive: Clear, well-organized directory structure with separate templates for five distinct communication types, making it easy for agent to route requests correctly.
Positive: Detailed formatting specifications in each example file (emoji usage, time limits, section structure) provide unambiguous output expectations.
Positive: Practical guidance on tone and audience for each format (e.g., '3Ps read in 30-60 sec', company newsletters use 'we' tense, FAQs should be company-wide focused).
Positive: Each template references specific tools and provides strategic guidance on what to prioritize (company-wide impact over team details, announcements from leadership, major milestones).
Negative: Missing error handling guidance — no instructions on how to handle missing data sources, incomplete information, or conflicting data from multiple tools.
Negative: No explicit data validation or fact-checking workflow — agent is instructed to 'base answers on official communications' but no mechanism ensures this happens or is verified.
Negative: General-comms template is vague ('doesn't fit standard formats') and relies heavily on user interaction to clarify scope, reducing agent autonomy for edge cases.
Negative: No guidance on handling confidential or sensitive information — agent might pull from internal channels without understanding what should or shouldn't be shared company-wide.
Negative: Limited examples of actual output — templates show format but no sample completed communications for reference.
