Prompt

• CURIE: gmeow:Prompt
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/Prompt
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/ai
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

A concrete prompt presented to a model in an invocation — content-addressable (gmeow:contentDigest), role-tagged (gmeow:promptRole), optionally instantiating a template (gmeow:filledFrom). Prompts are provenance: a claim is only auditable when the instruction that elicited it is recorded. The system-prompt-as-persona seam (a prompt enacting a gmeow:Persona with its registers and style guide) is the norms extension's machinery, used from instance data.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:InformationObject

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:Prompt as a specialized kind of gmeow:InformationObject. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the concrete instruction text presented to a model in an invocation — the provenance that makes a generated claim auditable, content-addressed and role-tagged.

Avoid when

• Avoid the reusable, variable-bearing artifact (that is gmeow:PromptTemplate, which a concrete prompt links back to via gmeow:filledFrom) and avoid modelling the persona it enacts here — that seam lives in the norms extension.

How to use

• Type the instruction gmeow:Prompt, tag it with gmeow:promptRole, content-address it with gmeow:contentDigest, and where it instantiates a published template point gmeow:filledFrom at the gmeow:PromptTemplate; link it to its invocation via gmeow:hasPrompt.

Examples

• ex:sysPrompt a gmeow:Prompt; gmeow:promptRole gmeow:promptRoleSystem; gmeow:contentDigest ex:sha256.
