Prompt

The input text fed to a model to elicit a response — in agentic gaming, the game state and instructions sent each tick.

A prompt is the input text given to a language model to elicit a response. In ForgeAI, each tick the agent receives a prompt that combines the current game state, the playbook, and any encounter-specific instructions, and it responds with its chosen action. Prompt engineering — shaping what the agent sees — is a core skill for writing effective playbooks.
