This directory holds prompt templates that the future orchestrator (pnpm work dispatch in the sandcastle-dispatch-v1 epic) feeds to sandcastle when dispatching agents.

Convention: every prompt enforces "generators first"

Each prompt template starts with the same non-negotiable rule: the agent must prefer pnpm turbo gen <kind> over hand-rolled scaffolding. This applies to feature packages, events, jobs, realtime channels, optional core packages, and atomic-design components. Hand-rolled code is only acceptable when the generator's output doesn't cover the case — and even then, the agent runs the generator first and modifies its output rather than starting from scratch.

Environment

Configure runtime tokens via .env (gitignored). Copy .env.example and fill values for the providers you use.

Manual usage

Until the orchestrator ships, these templates are usable manually: copy the relevant .prompt.md content into a Claude / Codex / other agent session, fill the {{VARIABLE}} placeholders by hand, and run.
