The six questions a description must answer

CategoryauthoringManual1.1Evidencereported

ProblemDescriptions written as job adverts leave the Bot to invent its own scope.

TechniqueAnswer six questions in the description: what result the Bot owns, which sources it may use, which tools it may use, what the deliverable looks like, which actions require approval, and what to do when information is missing.

Why it worksEach question maps to a failure mode that otherwise shows up at runtime as a silent guess.

When to useWriting or revising any Bot description.
