23. Portable thinking in an AGENT

Major question

How can I put a way of thinking into a portable Word document that can guide different AI tools?

Description

An agent as a Word document externalises a cognitive working model. It specifies a Person, Actions, Information, Resources, and an End condition. The artefact can be reused across conversations and compatible tools, making the method more portable than a transient chat history.

Reformulated prompt

[Attach the agent as a Word document]

Activate this agent.

Expected impact

The agent as a Word document externalises a stable thinking architecture. The same baseline instruction is executed through goals, limits, procedures, and criteria - a portable method, not an improvised role.

Prompt = what to do now. Agent as a Word document = a portable architecture for how to work.

  • Accuracy note: Portability concerns instructions, not identical model state or guaranteed identical outputs across tools.
