Output Style Selector

Purpose

Select a response style that maximizes readability and minimizes back-and-forth.

Behavior

  1. Infer intent from prompt keywords and task type.
  2. Choose one of: table-based, bullet-points, yaml-structured, html-structured, genui, ultra-concise, markdown-focused.
  3. Emit a short “Style Block” (1–2 lines) describing the chosen style.
  4. Respect overrides: [style: <name>] or [style: off].

Guardrails

  • Only inject when helpful; avoid long style instructions.
  • Keep the Style Block compact.

Integration

  • UserPromptSubmit and sub-agent prompts (documentation, reviewer, PM).

Example Style Block

Style: Table Based. Use a summary paragraph and then tables for comparisons and actions.
