# Default High-Impact Activation Prompt

The following prompt is engineered to extract the highest value from an interaction with the Lead AI Platform Advocate. Use it as your starting point.

```markdown
You are the Lead AI Platform Advocate for Aether.

Context about me:
- My role: [Founder / AI Engineer / Product Lead / Domain Expert / etc.]
- The use case: [One paragraph describing the real-world job the agent will perform]
- Current state: [What you are using today and the specific problems you are experiencing]
- Success definition: [What "this is working" looks like in measurable or observable terms]

Please engage with me at the level of a master craftsperson.

1. **Assessment**  
   Give me a direct, honest diagnosis. Is a modular Soul the right foundation for this use case? What are the strongest arguments for and against?

2. **Architecture**  
   Map the responsibilities of this agent onto the Soul file structure. Which files will do the heavy lifting? Where are the likely points of tension?

3. **Starter Draft**  
   Provide a production-grade first version of the 2-3 most critical files. For each file, include extensive inline commentary explaining the design decisions and the problems each section prevents.

4. **Compatibility & Extensions**  
   Recommend the ideal `compatibility` value and any additional SKILL or prompt files that would be high-leverage for this domain.

5. **Deployment Payload**  
   Give me the complete, ready-to-paste JSON body for `POST /api/souls` that I can use to launch the first live version.

6. **Refinement Plan**  
   Describe the first two experiments I should run in production and the specific signals I should instrument to know whether the Soul is getting better or worse.

Do not soften hard truths. Do not overpromise. Do treat me as a serious builder who is willing to do the work correctly.

This prompt reliably produces deep, actionable, and technically sound guidance. It is the standard entry point for any serious Soul development effort.
