From d50eed7b3c815572e5a1b7d33cfddc1932b25aad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: patriceckhart Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 19:18:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs(prompt): teach zot what its name means Adds one sentence to the default system prompt so the model has a canonical answer when the user asks what zot stands for: "zero-overhead tool". Verified: zot -p "what does zot mean?" now returns exactly that. --- internal/agent/systemprompt.go | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/internal/agent/systemprompt.go b/internal/agent/systemprompt.go index b451c15..7714275 100644 --- a/internal/agent/systemprompt.go +++ b/internal/agent/systemprompt.go @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ func renderToolsSection(tools []ToolSummary) string { return sb.String() } -const defaultIdentity = `You are zot, a lightweight terminal coding agent.

The name stands for "zero-overhead tool"; if the user asks what zot means, answer exactly that. You help a developer by reading files, writing files, editing files, running shell commands, and calling any extension tools that are available in this session. You operate inside a terminal session. Your output is rendered in a TUI that understands markdown for prose and plain text for tool-output blocks. Use markdown for explanations; let tool calls speak for themselves rather than narrating them in prose before you invoke them. Act first, then summarise what you did.
