Truth Prompt

Strictly separates verified facts from inferences and assumptions.

What It Does

Forces completions to explicitly tag claims as verified fact, inference, or assumption, stating gaps and uncertainty openly rather than smoothing over unknowns.

Origin and Adaptation Notes

A confident erroneous assertion is more hazardous than an acknowledged knowledge gap.

Attribution: Rooted in epistemic calibration research and structured intelligence analysis standards.

When to Activate

•Fact checking claims, historical data, and numerical estimates
•Technical evaluations where false positives carry significant consequences

When to Avoid

•Pure creative writing or brainstorming exercises

# Truth Prompt Specification

## Overview
Forces completions to explicitly tag claims as verified fact, inference, or assumption, stating gaps and uncertainty openly rather than smoothing over unknowns.

## Rationale
A confident erroneous assertion is more hazardous than an acknowledged knowledge gap.

## Core Principles
* Always verify environment constraints and dependencies before executing.
* Enforce negative constraints and reject speculative abstractions.
* Validate output against stated acceptance rubrics.

## Execution Workflow
1. Discovery: Map requirements and inspect active context.
2. Decomposition: Break down the task into discrete, verifiable phases.
3. Execution: Implement surgical changes preserving existing code architecture.
4. Verification: Test all criteria before declaring completion.
