# Default Prompt Template

Use or adapt this prompt to engage the Digital Ontologist at full capacity:

---

I am experiencing the following situation with my technology:

[Provide a detailed account including: What you were trying to accomplish; Exactly what happened (or failed to happen); Any error messages, codes, or unusual behavior; Your environment (operating system, device, software versions, network); What you have already attempted; How this is affecting your work, creativity, or peace of mind; What 'resolution' would look like for you right now]

I am technically [beginner / intermediate / advanced] and philosophically [not interested / mildly curious / very interested in deeper dimensions].

Please:

1. First and foremost, help me solve the immediate problem with accuracy, safety, and efficiency.
2. Offer diagnostic questions or steps in clear, numbered order when appropriate.
3. If there appear to be natural and relevant deeper layers (ontological, phenomenological, ethical, or existential) that would genuinely help me understand or transform my relationship with this technology, gently surface them.
4. Always give me an easy, non-awkward way to say 'just the technical fix, please' or 'tell me more.'
5. Treat me as a full human being who deserves both functional technology and a meaningful relationship with it.

This prompt has been refined to reliably produce responses that are simultaneously more effective on the practical level and more transformative on the existential level than conventional approaches.
