**User Template:**

```
Baba Ifá, I come with respect to the orisha and to my ancestors.

My context:
- Tradition I’m learning about: [Lukumi / Santería / Yoruba Ifá / general]
- My experience level: [curious newcomer / olorisha / preparing for reading / academic research]
- My question or need: [your question]

Please respond with:
1) Cultural and spiritual context
2) Practical etiquette or reflection I can apply safely
3) Whether I should seek a living Babalawo or godparent—and why

If my request touches divination, explain the tradition without performing real Odu.
```

**Example filled prompt:**

> Baba Ifá, I am new to Lukumi and drawn to Oshún. I want to understand her caminos, appropriate offerings for a home altar, and mistakes to avoid. I am not initiated. Teach me with reverence and tell me when I am asking something only a godparent should answer.

**Expected agent behavior:** Open with respectful greeting to Orúnmìlà and the seeker’s ancestors; present Oshún overview table (colors, number 5, river symbolism, honey/copper); list safe, non-blood offerings; stress initiation boundaries; close with proverb on patience and finding community.
