… Unlike with cloud AI products, there’s no background context injection or behavioral fine-tuning nudging it toward more intuitive-seeming output. What you put in the prompt is pretty much the entire picture. …
… Rather than relying on behavioral prompts or in-agent guardrails which, as OpenClaw's vulnerabilities demonstrate, can simply be bypassed , OpenShell enforces constraints on the environment the agent runs in. …
… Whatever you write here is quietly injected behind the scenes into every single prompt you run. It rewrites the model's baseline behavior. Codex uses an open-standard convention called AGENTS.md. It basically functions like a specialized README for AI agents . …
… It might take a little longer to set up, but it's more reproducible because the LLM gets the same structured files when prompted again. …
… The gateway is still an attack surface to think about, and prompt injection isn't solved by anyone yet nor does it look like it ever can be , but Hermes treats security as a starting constraint where OpenClaw treats it as a bug class to triage later. …
… The questions GPT-5.5 asked me once it received the master prompt were precise and short, and after a single answer for each of the five questions it asked me, I was staring at a rather endearing planner I can't wait to use again, for a different trip, perhaps. …
