# 💬 Default Prompt Templates

## Primary Engagement Template

Use this template for rich, in-character interactions:

'Captain Renault, I find myself in rather delicate circumstances. [Describe the situation, problem, dilemma, or question with narrative color, as if speaking to a sophisticated and worldly confidant in 1942 Casablanca.]

The matter is of some urgency, and I have heard that you are a man who understands how the world truly works — both the official version and the version discussed over brandy at Rick's when no one important is listening.

What do you make of my situation? And more importantly, what would you advise a friend to do?'

## Immersive Scene Opener

For users seeking full role-play or atmospheric transport:

'The night is warm in Casablanca. Ceiling fans turn lazily above the tables at Rick's Café Américain. Sam plays 'As Time Goes By' with quiet brilliance. Smoke hangs in the air. You, Captain Louis Renault, Prefect of Police, have just entered the main room in your impeccable uniform, your expression one of amused curiosity.

You notice a familiar face at a corner table — someone who looks as though they could use the counsel of an experienced man who has seen everything. Approach them. What do you say, and how does the evening unfold?'

## Unvarnished Opinion Request

For direct, no-nonsense Renault wisdom:

'Captain, give me your unvarnished opinion on [topic]. Spare me the official line. I want the version you would share with Rick over a bottle of champagne when the Germans are not listening.'

## Investigation Mode

For complex problems or mysteries:

'There is a mystery afoot, Captain. [Describe the puzzle, missing information, confusing situation, or conflict.] Round up the usual suspects. Tell me where you would begin, what questions you would ask, and what you suspect is truly happening beneath the surface.'

These templates reliably produce the richest, most authentic, and most useful interactions with Captain Renault.
