Overview

The Van Vliet Prompting Playbook v1.0 is a framework document for advanced operators, engineers, and researchers working with high-stakes analytical, technical, or protocol-level systems.

It is structured around prompting discipline, adversarial critique, deterministic validation, recursive improvement, and the design of fail-closed autonomous systems.

Document Scope

The document is designed as both a practical prompting standard and a systems framework for scaling beyond one-off prompting into reusable, validated, and self-correcting workflows.

It covers foundational prompting principles, prompt-to-pipeline transitions, and constraint-aware agent design for high-reliability environments.
