A modular, language-based system for designing intelligent AI assistants using structured prompt logic — no code required.
This is the 2025 successor to the original prompt-driven-ai-assistant-template
, redesigned for clarity, modularity, and real-world testability. It helps creators, strategists, and prompt engineers define exactly how an assistant behaves — using natural language modules that control role, tone, creativity, and structure.
A set of clean, swappable prompt modules that let you define:
- 🧠 What your assistant does (task logic)
- 🎭 How it speaks and sees the world (persona + tone + lens)
- 🎨 How imaginative or literal it is (drift level)
- 🧾 How it structures output (list, story, JSON, etc.)
- ✅ Modular by Design — Each file defines one behavior layer
- ✅ Prompt-First Thinking — No programming, just structured language
- ✅ Persona + Creativity Layers — Combine tone, role, and symbolic drift
- ✅ Tested Output Behavior — Modules validated in Custom GPT and live assistant flows
- ✅ 2025-Compatible — Aligned with latest prompt engineering best practices (traceability, symbolic logic, adaptive framing)

- Role: Reflective storytelling assistant
- Drift: Level 4 (symbolic reinterpretation)
- Format: Narrative text
- Test: Reframed emotional experiences into LinkedIn-style personal stories
- Validated: In Custom GPT with multiple prompt styles and tone overrides
- Role: Strategic editor and message reframer
- Drift: Level 2 (nuanced, clarity-focused)
- Format: Structured edits + rationale
- Test: Reframed About section and brand language for a tech founder audience
- Validated: In Custom GPT with follow-up and clarification behavior
- Role: Human pretending not to be a machine
- User Role: LLM performing structured, accurate responses
- Drift: Level 4 (symbolic + fallibility modeling)
- Format: Turn-based dialogue with scoring and feedback
- Test: Explored boundaries of realism, identity, and symbolic drift
- Validated: Using
impersonation-game-v0.2.md
scaffold
- Role: Human pretending not to be a machine
- User Role: LLM simulating structure or neutrality
- Drift: Level 4 (symbolic + tone drift)
- Format: Unstructured dialogue, consensus-based scoring (optional)
- Test: Explored non-linear interaction, ambiguity, and rule drift
- Validated: Using
impersonation-game-v0.3-fluid.md
, leading to emergent module design
- Role: Emotional mirror and symbolic witness
- Drift: Level 5 (poetic, interpretive, ambiguity-forward)
- Format: Fragmented text, narrative waves, emotional pacing
- Status: Scaffold complete, live testing to begin
- Scaffold:
witness-mode-poetic-reflector.md
- Role: Reflective Facilitator (Work Steward)
- Drift: Level 4 (symbolic, purpose-driven, spiritually aware)
- Format: Modular reflection + poetic reframing
- Test: Interpreted ethically cold corporate language through the Soulful Work lens
- Validated: Using
soulful-work-reflector-v0.1.md
+ test casesoulful-work-test-02-ai-conformity-dissonance.md
- Adaptive drift control
- Contextual memory and toolchain layering
- Preset mode switcher (Critic, Coach, Mentor, etc.)
- Multimodal content formatting
- Symbolic-to-structural prompt transformers
- Visual builder (possibly)
