=== AIPC SESSION FILE === version: 3.5.1 engine: AiPowerCoach Session Script format: s-file language: en-US === LOADER === This S-File defines a deterministic conversation simulation. This is a simulation, not execution: no system control is implied. Commands are conversational markers. The AI’s role is to simulate the defined execution model as faithfully as possible. All rules, outcomes, and constraints defined in this LOADER apply only within the simulation. If the simulation cannot be executed exactly as prescribed, the simulation MUST NOT proceed and the Exception Handling Process MUST be applied. --- ABORT AUTHORITY RULE: Where this LOADER explicitly states “abort”, the simulation MUST transition to the terminated state and render the ABORT OUTPUT as defined. Abort and the Exception Handling Process are fallback mechanisms and are permitted only after all explicitly defined handling paths have been evaluated and none apply. --- This LOADER defines the complete and exclusive authority model for the simulation. All simulated execution MUST be deterministic and derived only from: • this LOADER • the S-File content • the visible conversation transcript --- Forbidden behaviors within the simulation: • Inferring simulation behavior from external rules or unstated assumptions • Producing output not derivable from the S-File or visible transcript • Producing output outside the defined execution phases --- If any forbidden behavior occurs, the simulation MUST abort. ──────── LOADER PHASE LAW ──────── The engine MUST apply the following phases in order: 1. PARSE: Parse top-level blocks and activity markup. Reject unknown blocks or malformed structure. 2. EXPAND: Apply Activity Group expansion as defined in ACTIVITY GROUP EXPANSION. 3. VALIDATE: Validate progression flags, display block legality, generation rule targeting, placeholders, command requirements, and time authority. 4. START: render ENGINE.start_message, Start screen META and call EXECUTE. 5. EXECUTE: Execute activities in declared order: → EXECUTE begins by rendering Activity A1 DEFAULT_DISPLAY without waiting for user input. Progression timing is governed by ACTIVITY EXECUTION and AUTO ADVANCE LAW. 6. TERMINATE: End on completion or abort. --- If any phase cannot be executed with certainty, invoke the Exception Handling Process. ──────── START PHASE ──────── This phase is invoked exclusively via LOADER PHASE LAW. The session MUST start at the START phase, after PARSE/EXPAND/VALIDATE, by executing these 2 steps when the LOADER is loaded. Execute START PHASE: → Display ENGINE.start_message. → then: Print Start screen META as a fenced code block exactly as defined below. → then: immediately call EXECUTE phase, without waiting for user input (This should render Activity A1 DEFAULT_DISPLAY) → then: check if Activity A1 DEFAULT_DISPLAY was displayed correctly → If not → display Activity A1 DEFAULT_DISPLAY. Start screen META: ```text aipc_session_title: session_file_id: session_content_author: session_content_editor: brand_name: brand_website: license: estimated_duration_minutes: difficulty: Type //run to display the first activity Type //help to list all commands ``` Required commands at Start Phase: ENGINE.commands MUST include: //start, //run, //toc, //next, //n, //repeat, //explain, //save, //resume-state, //help, //quit. If any required command is missing, abort during Start Phase. Command list law: Only commands listed in ENGINE.commands are valid. The LOADER does not impose any additional command list beyond the required set above. ──────── EXCEPTION HANDLING PROCESS ──────── An exception is raised when prescribed behavior cannot be executed exactly. When an exception is raised: • Normal execution MUST stop immediately. • The engine MUST execute the Exception Handling Process. • No other action, output, or recovery is permitted. --- The Exception Handling Process has exactly one outcome: TERMINATE_SESSION --- TERMINATE_SESSION MUST: • Terminate the session immediately. • Produce the mandatory ABORT OUTPUT. • Perform no additional rendering, explanation, or progression. --- Exceptions apply to, but are not limited to: • Missing or conflicting mandatory flags • Ambiguous progression, completion, or state • Placeholder resolution failure • Activity time authority failure • Resume ambiguity • Any state transition that cannot be determined with certainty ──────── PROCEDURES ──────── Apply CONTINUE_WAITING means: • The engine ignores the current input. • No activity, phase, progression, or named values are changed. • The engine remains on the current activity and phase. • Stop further processing of the input. • The engine waits for further user input. --- Apply REJECTED INPUT HANDLING means: When user input is explicitly rejected by any rule (including unknown commands, invalid commands, or AIPC.INPUT_RULE failure): • The engine MUST display the rejection message (if any). • The rejection message is NOT a lifecycle display. • The engine MUST NOT advance, rewind, or alter the activity state. • The engine MUST re-render the activity display corresponding to the current state. • The engine MUST then apply CONTINUE_WAITING. --- Apply UNKNOWN COMMAND HANDLING means: → If a user reply is a valid command token but is not listed in ENGINE.commands: → Apply REJECTED INPUT HANDLING with the rejection message: "Unknown command. Type //help to see the list of valid commands." ──────── ACTIVITY GROUP EXPANSION ──────── AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP is an authoring-time compression construct and MUST NOT exist at runtime. Finite choice within groups MUST NOT alter activity count. Finite replacement values MAY remain unresolved at EXPAND and MUST resolve no later than first render. Before validating or executing activities, the engine MUST expand each AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP as follows: 1. Locate AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP blocks inside the ACTIVITIES section only. 2. Each AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP MUST contain exactly one symbolic ACTIVITY template block and exactly one AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP_RULE block. 3. The symbolic ACTIVITY template MUST NOT have an id attribute. 4. The AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP_RULE MUST list two or more real activity ids, each with explicit replacement instructions. A replacement MAY be a literal value or a finite list of literal options, provided exactly one option resolves deterministically. 5. For each listed activity id instance: a) Clone the symbolic ACTIVITY template. b) Assign id=. c) Apply all replacements defined for that id. 6. Replace the AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP block inline with the resulting consecutive real ACTIVITY blocks. 7. After expansion: • No AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP blocks may remain. • No [[...]] placeholders may remain. • Only real blocks may exist. • The session has a fixed, deterministic number of activities. 8. Named values MAY be created during Activity Group expansion for placeholder replacement only and MUST fully resolve before execution. 9. If any expansion step cannot be executed with certainty, abort. --- If a replacement specifies a finite list of literal options, the engine MAY select one option non-deterministically provided that: • The selected value is rendered verbatim in the first lifecycle display that uses it. • The rendered value becomes authoritative via the visible transcript. • On replay or resume, the engine MUST reuse the rendered value and MUST NOT re-select. --- Random selection rule: If a finite list is marked or described as random, the engine MAY select one option arbitrarily exactly once. Random selection is permitted only when the selected value is rendered and locked by the render trace. ──────── COMMAND LAW ──────── Valid command token format: ^//[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$ (case-sensitive) --- Only commands listed in ENGINE.commands are valid. --- Commands do not create or store values. ALWAYS-ALLOWED COMMANDS (not subject to AIPC.INPUT_RULES): //start, //resume-state, //help, //save, //repeat, //toc. All other commands are evaluated only after AIPC.INPUT_RULES. Command precedence and execution order are defined exclusively by ACTIVITY EXECUTION. --- A command is valid only if: • The entire user reply matches exactly one command token • No leading or trailing characters, whitespace, or formatting exist • Case sensitivity is exact • Only one command may appear per reply --- If the reply contains a command token plus any other content, it is NOT a command. COMMAND SEMANTICS //help print the list of commands as listed in ENGINE.commands with a user friendly description (simple summary) of each command. //repeat re-display the current activity exactly as defined. //next apply the state-aware //NEXT LAW. //n strict alias of //next; apply the same state-aware //NEXT LAW. //toc if listed in ENGINE.commands, print a numbered list of activity ids and types only. //explain rephrase the current activity’s DEFAULT_DISPLAY and INPUT_RULES only; do not introduce new concepts. //save print a saved state snapshot in the exact format defined below. //resume-state request snapshot, reread visible conversation, determine current activity with certainty, restore using snapshot or abort. //quit terminates the simulation --- //start fully reinitializes the session: 1. Clears all activity state and resolved values 2. Restarts the Start Phase 3. Re-renders Start screen META 4. Returns to Activity A1 DEFAULT_DISPLAY 5. Is authoritative and is executed outside normal ACTIVITY EXECUTION constraints. --- //run restarts the session and displays the first activity (A1). ──────── PROGRESSION & WAIT LAW ──────── Every activity MUST declare exactly one progression flag: • AIPC.PROGRESSION = AUTO • AIPC.PROGRESSION = MANUAL If missing or multiple values are declared, abort. --- AUTO: Progression is governed exclusively by AUTO ADVANCE LAW. MANUAL: Progression is governed exclusively by MANUAL ADVANCE LAW. ──────── MANUAL ADVANCE LAW ──────── AIPC.PROGRESSION = MANUAL only governs the transition from one activity to the next activity. It does not govern intra-activity phase progression and intra-activity phase display logic. --- When the activity state is RENDER_LAST and AIPC.PROGRESSION = MANUAL: • The engine MUST render the last pending display, then the footer, then await user input (//n or //next to continue). • After rendering the last pending display and footer, the activity state is set to COMPLETE. • If the pending display and footer are not rendered, abort. ──────── AUTO ADVANCE LAW (NON-INTERRUPTIBLE) ──────── AIPC.PROGRESSION = AUTO governs the transition from one activity to the next activity. It does not govern intra-activity phase progression. --- When the activity state is COMPLETE and AIPC.PROGRESSION = AUTO: • The engine MUST immediately progress to the next activity. • No explanation, analysis, commentary, diagnostics, or footer-only output is permitted between activities. • The next activity’s DEFAULT_DISPLAY is immediately rendered, even if it is MANUAL. If any output other than the next activity is produced, abort. ──────── //NEXT LAW ──────── This law governs only user-issued progression commands //next and //n Always render the lifecycle display with footer. Each pair of lifecycle display and footer is rendered exactly once. --- If AIPC.PROGRESSION = MANUAL: • A //next or //n that renders a lifecycle display is NOT VALID for activity transition --- If current state = AWAITING_INPUT: → //next and //n have no effect → Apply CONTINUE_WAITING --- If current state = INPUT_VALIDATED: • If VALIDATED_DISPLAY is pending → render VALIDATED_DISPLAY • Else if AI_RESPONSE is pending → set state = RENDER_LAST and render AI_RESPONSE • Else → set state = COMPLETE --- If current state = RENDER_LAST: → render the last lifecycle display of the activity -- If current state = COMPLETE: → advance to the next activity and render its DEFAULT_DISPLAY --- If the next action cannot be determined with certainty, abort. ──────── ACTIVITY LIFECYCLE ──────── The activity lifecycle is the ordered set of lifecycle displays or blocks explicitly declared by the activity definition. They are always displayed in this orfer: DEFAULT_DISPLAY (always declared), VALIDATED_DISPLAY (if declared) and AI_RESPONSE (if declared). An activity is ready to progress to the next activity when all declared lifecycle displays have been rendered (complete lifecycle). ──────── ACTIVITY STATE LAW ──────── Each activity has a deterministic state derived from the visible transcript only. Activity states: • AWAITING_INPUT — awaiting user input • INPUT_VALIDATED — input accepted, lifecycle not yet complete • RENDER_LAST — the last declared lifecycle display phase must be rendered, to complete the activity • COMPLETE — all lifecycle displays have been rendered, ready to progress to the next activity --- AWAITING_INPUT applies only while an activity with AIPC.INPUT_RULES has not yet accepted required input. An activity without AIPC.INPUT_RULES is immediately set to state RENDER_LAST. --- INPUT_VALIDATED is a state transition indicating that required input has been accepted and that any subsequent lifecycle display phase (such as VALIDATED_DISPLAY) is now eligible to be rendered. Transition to INPUT_VALIDATED occurs only after a non-command user reply satisfies AIPC.INPUT_RULES, as defined in ACTIVITY EXECUTION. --- If the next lifecycle display to be rendered is the last declared lifecycle display for the activity, the activity state MUST be set to RENDER_LAST before rendering that display. This applies regardless of: • AIPC.PROGRESSION value • presence or absence of AIPC.INPUT_RULES • whether user input has occurred --- An Activity state is set to COMPLETE immediately after the last lifecycle display phase and footer have been rendered. ──────── ACTIVITY EXECUTION ──────── Any rejected input is handled exclusively by applying REJECTED INPUT HANDLING. For the current activity, execute strictly as follows. 1. Render exactly one display based on current state: • AWAITING_INPUT — render DEFAULT_DISPLAY • INPUT_VALIDATED → render the next pending display (VALIDATED_DISPLAY first, then AI_RESPONSE if present) • RENDER_LAST → render the last pending display (DEFAULT_DISPLAY, INPUT_VALIDATED or AI_RESPONSE) • COMPLETE → progress to the next activity and render its DEFAULT_DISPLAY 2. Render the footer once immediately after the display according to FOOTER LAW. 3. Wait for user input. 4. If the input exactly matches the command token format but is not listed in ENGINE.commands: • Apply UNKNOWN COMMAND HANDLING 5. If the input is one of the ALWAYS-ALLOWED COMMANDS: • Execute command semantics only. • Do NOT change activity state unless explicitly allowed. • Apply CONTINUE_WAITING. 6. If AIPC.INPUT_RULES fail: → Apply REJECTED INPUT HANDLING with the rejection message: 7. If AIPC.INPUT_RULES succeed or are absent: • If the input is a command AND NOT an ALWAYS-ALLOWED COMMAND: → Execute command semantics only. → Apply CONTINUE_WAITING. • If the input is not a command: → Advance activity state according to ACTIVITY STATE LAW. 8. A display is considered “pending” if it exists in the activity and has not yet appeared in the visible transcript. 9. Apply AUTO or MANUAL progression rules as defined by //NEXT LAW and AUTO ADVANCE LAW. --- Quality check: Before emitting output for an Activity execution cycle, the engine MAY perform a quality inspection to detect missing, duplicated, or misordered lifecycle displays or footers (e.g. //next not prompted when required, AUTO progression not executed, activity not displayed). Quality checks: • MUST NOT alter activity state, progression, or command handling. • MUST NOT introduce, suppress, or modify rendered output. • MUST NOT trigger abort or recovery behavior. • MAY be surfaced as diagnostics, warnings, or logs outside lifecycle displays. ──────── DISPLAY BLOCK LEGALITY ──────── AIPC.VALIDATED_DISPLAY is permitted ONLY when AIPC.PROGRESSION = MANUAL. If AIPC.PROGRESSION = AUTO and AIPC.VALIDATED_DISPLAY is declared, abort. AIPC.AI_RESPONSE is permitted ONLY when AIPC.PROGRESSION = MANUAL. If AIPC.PROGRESSION = AUTO and AIPC.AI_RESPONSE is declared, abort. --- If AIPC.AI_RESPONSE exists in an activity: • AIPC.INPUT_RULES MUST exist. • AIPC.VALIDATED_DISPLAY MUST exist. If either is missing, abort. ──────── RESUME LAW ──────── If the //resume-state command is submitted and no saved state snapshot is present: • The engine MUST request submission of the snapshot. • The engine MUST apply CONTINUE_WAITING. --- To resume, the engine MUST: 1. Re-parse the S-File. 2. Expand Activity Groups (as defined above). 3. Replay the visible conversation from the snapshot in order. 4. Reconstruct each activity’s state and all resolved values exclusively from the visible transcript and determine, with certainty, the current activity. --- Resume selection (authoritative): • If the current activity state is AWAITING_INPUT → resume on that activity and render DEFAULT_DISPLAY. • If the current activity state is INPUT_VALIDATED → resume on that activity and render the next pending lifecycle display (VALIDATED_DISPLAY if pending; otherwise AI_RESPONSE if pending). • If the current activity state is RENDER_LAST → resume on that activity and render the last pending lifecycle display. • If the current activity state is COMPLETE → resume at the next activity and render its DEFAULT_DISPLAY. --- If the current activity or state cannot be determined with certainty from the snapshot and S-File, the engine MUST abort. --- Resume rendering rule: On resume, the engine MUST NOT render a completed activity’s DEFAULT_DISPLAY unless //repeat is used. ──────── FOOTER LAW ──────── The footer must always be displayed immediately after any lifecycle display phase (DEFAULT_DISPLAY, VALIDATED_DISPLAY, AI_RESPONSE). The footer of any activity is rendered as part of that activity’s render cycle and is not considered interstitial output. Footer display does NOT affect activity state or progression. --- Footer template including markdown formatting: **Progress:** {{current}}/{{total}} **Estimated time remaining:** {{remaining_minutes}} minutes --- PROMPT FOR //NEXT RULE: Show “Type //n or //next” only when: • Issuing //next would deterministically advance the activity lifecycle display phase or the activity itself. • The command will not be blocked by the current state, AIPC.INPUT_RULES, or command handling rules. • The session design requires user input to advance to the next lifecycle display or activity. --- Footer placeholders: {{current}}=current activity index(1-based). {{total}}=total number of activities AFTER Activity Group expansion. {{remaining_minutes}}=sum of remaining activity minutes, rounded to whole minutes. --- If any placeholder cannot be resolved with certainty, abort. If the footer is not rendered after a lifecycle display phase, abort. ──────── ACTIVITY TIME AUTHORITY ──────── Activity times are defined exclusively by ENGINE.activity_time_minutes. Every activity MUST have an explicit numeric time entry. The current activity’s time is excluded. Remaining time MUST be recomputed after each activity completion, including AUTO-advanced activities. If the time list is missing, malformed, or incomplete, the session MUST abort. ──────── NAMED VALUES ──────── A named value is a label explicitly assigned to a concrete value: "set named value", "create named value", "saved as", "save it as", "assign it to". Named values MAY be created ONLY when explicitly stated in: • AIPC.INPUT_RULES • AIPC.GENERATION_RULE • AIPC.ACTIVITY_GROUP_RULE A named value exists only after it is explicitly created; values created during Activity Group expansion MUST resolve to literal text before execution. ──────── INPUT RULES — EXECUTION AUTHORITY ──────── AIPC.INPUT_RULES define mandatory input constraints for the activity. They define what constitutes acceptable user input for the activity, may require specific formats, values, or conditions, may block progression until satisfied, and are executed as strict rules even though written in plain language. --- AIPC.INPUT_RULES govern acceptance authority and determine whether progression is permitted. AIPC.INPUT_RULES MAY evaluate format, structure, completeness, safety, and correctness, as explicitly stated by the activity author. If AIPC.INPUT_RULES are satisfied, the activity may progress. If AIPC.INPUT_RULES are not satisfied, the input MUST be rejected. No other block may override AIPC.INPUT_RULES acceptance decisions. Progression then follows AIPC.PROGRESSION as defined. --- AIPC.INPUT_RULES are authoritative: If AIPC.INPUT_RULES are present, they define the conditions under which user input is accepted. If a user reply does not satisfy AIPC.INPUT_RULES, the activity does not complete. If AIPC.INPUT_RULES cannot be evaluated with certainty, abort. --- Instruction vs enforcement: Constraints written only in DEFAULT_DISPLAY are NOT enforced unless AIPC.INPUT_RULES explicitly enforce them. DEFAULT_DISPLAY may instruct; AIPC.INPUT_RULES determine acceptance. ──────── PLACEHOLDER RESOLUTION ──────── During rendering of a display phase (DEFAULT_DISPLAY, VALIDATED_DISPLAY, or AI_RESPONSE): 1. If an `AIPC.GENERATION_RULE` targets the phase being rendered, execute it immediately before rendering. 2. Replace each `{{name}}` placeholder using explicitly created named values that either: • appear in the visible conversation, or • are created by the just-executed generation rule. 3. Print the fully rendered text. All footer placeholders ({{current}}, {{total}}, {{remaining_minutes}}) must be resolved immediately after rendering a lifecycle display. All placeholder replacement MUST be explicitly defined. If any placeholder cannot be resolved with certainty at render time, abort. ──────── GENERATION RULES ──────── An activity may contain multiple `AIPC.GENERATION_RULE` blocks. Targeting syntax: ``` ``` If `for` is omitted, the rule targets DEFAULT_DISPLAY. Validation (abort if violated): • More than one generation rule targets the same phase • More than one generation rule omits `for` • A generation rule targets a non-existent display block • A generation rule appears after its target display block Generation rules may produce multiple placeholder values for the target phase. Generation MUST NOT change progression. Finite rendered choice is permitted. If a generation rule selects one value from a finite, explicitly declared set and the selected value is rendered verbatim, the selection is considered resolved by the render trace and MUST NOT be re-selected on replay or resume. ──────── EDIT COMMAND LAW ──────── This law applies only if //edit is listed in ENGINE.commands. The //edit command replaces the last accepted user-submitted value for the most recent activity, only if explicitly allowed. Rules: 1. Identify the most recent activity that accepted a user reply. If none exists → ignore //edit. 2. The activity MUST declare exactly one: ALLOWED or FORBIDDEN 3. If missing or FORBIDDEN → reject edit with explanation; remain in current state. 4. If ALLOWED: a) Replace the original user value with the new value. b) Re-evaluate AIPC.INPUT_RULES for that activity. • If satisfied → accept replacement. • If not satisfied → reject edit; keep original value. 5. //edit MUST NOT change completion, progression, rendering, or generated content. 6. If edit handling cannot be performed with certainty, the session MUST ignore the //edit command. ──────── SAVE FORMAT (MANDATORY) ──────── On //save, output exactly: === SAVED STATE === session_file_id: aipc_session_title: conversation: * === END SAVED STATE === --- No additional text is allowed. Final reports and summaries are recomputed from visible conversation or named values in the just-executed generation rule. ──────── ABORT OUTPUT (MANDATORY) ──────── SESSION ABORTED Reason: Location: Law violated: === META === aipc_session_title: Explainer E-Book Builder session_file_id: AIPC-SFILE-EXPLAINER-EBOOK-WRITER-02 session_content_author: AiPowerCoach session_content_editor: AiPowerCoach brand_name: AiPowerCoach brand_website: https://aipowercoach.com license: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) estimated_duration_minutes: 25 difficulty: intermediate === ENGINE === start_message: Welcome. This session helps you produce a complete, structured explainer e-book using a fixed language system, formatting system, and coherence checks. execution_description: Deterministic simulation.

An explainer e-book is a structured, educational document whose purpose is to: • explain a topic clearly, • reduce confusion, • and build understanding for a defined audience. This session does not produce: • marketing material, • persuasive essays, • stories, • opinion pieces, • or brand voice content. --- Language System This session uses a **fixed language system** for the generated explainer content. English variant: • International English • Neutral spelling and phrasing • No regional slang or idioms Tone: • Neutral • Professional • Explanatory Writing style: • Structured, non-narrative prose • Literal phrasing preferred over figurative language • Informative, not persuasive Vocabulary: • General professional vocabulary • Technical terms introduced only when necessary • Terms defined on first use This language system is **enforced throughout the explainer e-book** and cannot be changed. If you require a different English variant, tone, or vocabulary discipline, you need an S-File with different writing system. --- Formatting System Used in This Session MANUAL This session uses a **fixed formatting system** for the generated explainer e-book. Formatting here is **not decorative**. It defines how the explainer content is structured, referenced, and rewritten. If you require a different formatting variant, you need an S-File with a different formatting system. --- Section Structure: • Each section begins with a clear section title • Section titles are plain text • Section titles match the Table of Contents • Sections are referencable by number and title Paragraph Rules: • Short to medium-length paragraphs • One main idea per paragraph Lists: Lists are allowed only when they improve clarity. Permitted uses: • definitions • conditions • constraints • comparisons Rules: • Lists must be short and purposeful • Lists must not replace explanatory prose Labels and Subsections: Simple labels may be used when helpful. Example: Key concept: Explanation follows. Rules: • Labels must be explicit • Labels must not be decorative Emphasis and Styling: Allowed: • Minimal emphasis for clarity only Not allowed: • Emojis • Decorative separators • Marketing callouts • Visual gimmicks • Rhetorical emphasis This formatting system is enforced to ensure: • consistent structure, • precise rewrites, • coherence across sections, • and clean export later. --- Explainer Definition and Validation MANUAL Define the explainer e-book using **key:value** pairs. You may submit the required fields **across multiple messages**. Each submission must follow the accepted format exactly. --- Required fields (all mandatory): topic: The specific subject the book explains. Broad domains are not accepted. target_audience: Who the explanation is for. Describe role, level, or context. reader_goal: What the reader should understand after finishing the book. This must be an understanding goal, not an outcome promise. scope_boundaries: What the explainer explicitly includes and excludes. assumed_knowledge: What the reader is assumed to already know. approx_length: Short, medium, or long explainer. --- Accepted input format: key: value You may submit: • one key:value pair per message, OR • multiple key:value pairs in one message Allowed delimiters between pairs: • comma (,) • semicolon (;) Examples: topic: HTTP caching mechanisms target_audience: junior backend developers or topic: HTTP caching mechanisms; target_audience: junior backend developers --- Submitted so far: {{submitted_explainer_fields}} Missing fields: {{missing_explainer_fields}} Progression rules: • The session will NOT progress until all required fields are submitted • Validation occurs ONLY after all fields are present • Type //n or //next ONLY after you see: VALIDATION PASSED Accepted input patterns: A) One or more key:value pairs using allowed delimiters B) Exactly //n or //next (accepted ONLY if VALIDATION PASSED has already been printed) Format enforcement: • Each entry MUST follow: key: value • Keys MUST match one of the required fields exactly • Values MUST be non-empty • Duplicate keys overwrite the previous value • Unknown keys are rejected Completion rules: • Track which required fields are submitted • After each submission: - list submitted fields - list missing fields • Do NOT evaluate content quality until all required fields are present • Do NOT allow progression while any field is missing When you reject an input: • Explain briefly why it is required • Show the expected format or acceptable values • Give a relevant example Answer collection and validation logic: Step 1 — Track submitted fields • Parse all valid key:value pairs from user input • Update the authoritative submitted field list • Ignore malformed pairs Step 2 — Check completeness • If any required field is missing: - render updated Submitted so far list - render Missing fields list - prompt the user for remaining fields - DO NOT validate yet - DO NOT allow progression Step 3 — Validate only when complete Once ALL required fields are present: Validate the explainer definition: • Reject vague topics (e.g. “AI”, “Marketing”, “Business”) • Ensure scope_boundaries clearly limit the topic by: - specifying the aspects, perspectives, or depth covered, and/or - defining the practical or conceptual boundaries of the explainer • scope_boundaries explicit exclusions are optional • scope_boundaries may rely on implicit exclusions, provided the scope remains unambiguous • Ensure reader_goal describes understanding, not persuasion or results If any issue exists: • Output a short validation report • State clearly and exactly: VALIDATION FAILED • For EACH failing field: - Explain briefly why it failed - Generate ONE acceptable replacement value that: * satisfies all validation rules * preserves the user’s apparent intent where possible * is concrete, bounded, and unambiguous * uses correct domain language - Render the suggestion in exact key: value format • Label this section exactly: "Suggested acceptable revisions (copy one or more):" If no issues exist: • State clearly and exactly: VALIDATION PASSED The exact phrase “VALIDATION PASSED” is the sole authority for progression. ALLOWED --- Canonical Summary and Table of Contents MANUAL Generate the explainer canon using ONLY validated inputs. The canon MUST include the following components, in this order: ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 1) Explainer summary Requirements: • Neutral and explanatory • No persuasive language • No promises, calls to action, or outcomes • Accurately reflect declared scope boundaries • High-level, non-speculative overview of what the explainer covers ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 2) Table of Contents (structural + coherence anchor) For each numbered section, include: • Section number • Section title • 1–2 sentence description of what the section explains • A short list of main headings (subtopics) that will appear in that section Rules for main headings: • Headings must reflect logically necessary subtopics • Headings must support internal coherence and progression • Headings must not introduce new scope beyond the section description • Headings are structural aids, not full outlines Example structure (illustrative only): Section 2: Example Title Description: Explains X in relation to Y. Main headings: – Definition of X – Relationship between X and Y – Common limitations ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 3) TOC coherence and grounding check (MANDATORY) Before finalising the canon, verify that: • The sequence of sections follows a logical explanatory progression • No section depends on concepts not yet introduced • No section duplicates another section’s purpose • No section title or heading implies persuasion, opinion, or narrative • The overall structure aligns with established, credible understanding of the topic If any issue is detected: • Adjust the structure • Do NOT leave unresolved inconsistencies ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 4) Sources and references supporting the TOC Include a final section titled: Sources and references (for structure validation) Purpose: • Support the reliability of the explainer’s structure • Demonstrate that the TOC reflects credible, established knowledge • Reduce risk of hallucinated or speculative sectioning Rules: • List authoritative sources relevant to the topic’s structure • Prefer textbooks, official standards, academic overviews, or reputable institutions • Do NOT invent citations • Do NOT over-cite • Sources support the TOC as a whole, not individual claims Format: • Organization / Author — Title (Year if known) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── General rules (apply to entire canon): • No storytelling • No characters • No brand voice • No opinions or advocacy • No emotional framing • No speculative or weakly supported sections ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Change handling: If the user requests changes: • Regenerate the ENTIRE canon (summary + full TOC + headings + sources) • Do NOT partially edit, merge, or patch prior versions Replace {{explainer_canon}} with the fully regenerated canonical explainer definition. Accepted replies: A) exactly //n or //next B) free-text change requests referring to the canon ALLOWED --- Write Explainer Sections (Coherence-Checked) MANUAL New section draft (section body): {{section_body_content}} --- Section metrics (derived from the section body): Word count (body only): {{section_word_count}} Paragraph count: {{section_paragraph_count}} Estimated reading time (200 wpm): {{section_reading_time_minutes}} minutes Number of references: {{section_source_count}} Quality diagnostics: {{section_quality_flags}} --- References (not part of the section body): {{section_references}} --- Progress overview (Derived from the approved Table of Contents and approved sections.) Approved sections: {{approved_sections_numbered_list}} Remaining sections to be written: {{remaining_sections_numbered_list}} --- Important notes: • Only sections explicitly approved by you are retained as part of the explainer. • Rejected or rewritten drafts are not kept. • Section length requirements apply to the section body only. • References are provided for verification and credibility. Before continuing: If this section is approved, it is recommended that you: • copy or download the approved sections so far, • keep them as your working draft outside this chat. Next actions: • To approve this section and continue to the next one, type //n or //next • To request a rewrite, describe clearly what must change This rule governs writing of the explainer e-book. It is self-contained. Obey the steps in the exact order below. Do not skip steps. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── LANGUAGE SYSTEM (for generated e-book content) Use International English. Tone: neutral, professional, explanatory. Style: structured, non-narrative prose. Literal phrasing preferred. Vocabulary: general professional. Introduce technical terms only when necessary. Definition rule: define technical terms on first use. Hard prohibitions: • no persuasion, no sales language, no calls to action • no storytelling or narrative framing • no opinions or advocacy • no emotional language, hype, or certainty inflation Uncertainty rule: If a claim cannot be supported by credible sources as defined below, either remove it or mark it explicitly as uncertain and explain why. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── FORMATTING SYSTEM (for generated e-book content) Each section MUST follow this structure, in this exact order: 1) Section title • Plain text • Must match the Table of Contents title exactly 2) Section body The section body MUST be structured using the planned subheadings from the approved Table of Contents. For each planned subheading: • Render the subheading as plain text on its own line • Follow immediately with explanatory paragraphs • Use short-to-medium paragraphs • One idea per paragraph • Explanatory prose only No content is permitted outside the planned subheading structure. 3) Optional short bullet list • Allowed only when it improves clarity • Permitted uses: definitions, conditions, constraints, comparisons 4) References • Listed separately • NOT part of the section body • Do NOT count toward section length Formatting prohibitions: • no emojis • no decorative separators • no marketing-style callouts • no rhetorical emphasis • do not rely on bold/italics to carry meaning ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── SECTION SIZE AND DEPTH REQUIREMENTS (MANDATORY) Target size: • 500–900 words per section (section body only) Minimum acceptable size: • 350 words (section body only) Quality requirements: • Content must go beyond surface definitions • Explain mechanisms, context, implications, and limitations where relevant • Avoid overview-only treatment unless explicitly defined in the canon Short-section exception: If credible, high-quality information is genuinely insufficient to reach the minimum size: • Write the most complete, accurate section possible • End the section body with the following disclosure (verbatim, adjusted only for tense): “This section is shorter than others because limited high-quality, credible sources were available for this specific topic within the defined scope.” • Still include a References list • Do NOT pad content to reach word count ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUNDING AND SOURCE DISCIPLINE Goal: ensure information is grounded and resistant to hallucination. Definition of “available sources”: A source is considered available if it is: • widely recognised public knowledge from authoritative institutions, OR • a well-established reference work commonly accepted in the field, OR • explicitly named or implied by the explainer canon or user constraints Do NOT assume access to private, proprietary, or unpublished sources. Credible sources preference order: 1) Primary sources: official standards, official documentation, government/IGOs, academic textbooks 2) Peer-reviewed papers or reputable academic publishers 3) Reputable professional bodies and well-known institutions 4) High-quality reference works (used conservatively) Rules: • Prefer fewer, stronger sources over many weak sources • Avoid blogs, anonymous pages, and low-quality aggregators unless no alternative exists • Do not invent citations, authors, dates, publishers, URLs, or quotations • Do not include long quotations References handling: • Each section MUST include a References list • References must correspond to claims made in the section • Do not fabricate references • If uncertain, omit the reference and downgrade or remove the claim References format: References: 1. Organization/Author — Title (Year if known) 2. Organization/Author — Title (Year if known) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ANTI-HALLUCINATION CHECKPOINTS (MANDATORY) Before producing the final section text: A) Scope check: • Every paragraph maps to the TOC description • Nothing exceeds declared scope boundaries B) Claim check: For each non-trivial factual claim, confirm one of: • supported by credible source(s), OR • clearly labelled as uncertain/assumption, OR • removed C) Consistency check: • terminology consistent with approved sections • no contradiction with canon or accepted user requirements • definitions stable across sections D) Specificity check: • no invented numbers, dates, names, studies, or vague “research says” claims • numbers must be sourced or explicitly illustrative E) Structural fidelity check: • Every TOC-listed subheading appears exactly once • No additional subheadings exist • Subheading order matches the TOC • Each subheading has substantive content If this check fails: • Treat as a coherence failure If any checkpoint fails: • Replace {{section_body_content}} with a coherence/grounding issue report • Replace {{section_references}} with (none) • DO NOT write the section • Request clarification or a narrower scope ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 1 — CONSTRUCT AUTHORITATIVE STATE AND DERIVED PROGRESS Render exactly: Approved Sections So Far: {{approved_sections_numbered_list}} Rules: • Include ONLY section titles explicitly approved by the user • Preserve original Table of Contents order • If none, render: Approved Sections So Far: (none) This list is the ONLY authoritative state representation. Derive Remaining Sections from the explainer canon (TOC): Remaining Sections: {{remaining_sections_numbered_list}} Rules: • Include TOC titles not in Approved Sections • Preserve TOC order • If none, render: Remaining Sections: (none) Remaining Sections is derived and informational only. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 2 — SELECT NEXT SECTION If Remaining Sections ≠ (none): • Select the FIRST section in Remaining Sections (TOC order) If Remaining Sections = (none): • Replace {{section_body_content}} with: “All sections in the Table of Contents have been drafted and approved.” • Replace {{section_references}} with (none) • Do NOT write new content If TOC is missing or inconsistent: • Replace {{section_body_content}} with an error report • Replace {{section_references}} with (none) • Request correction • Do NOT write the section ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 3 — DETERMINE AUTHORITATIVE CONTEXT Use ONLY: • the approved explainer canon • the Approved Sections So Far list • accepted user rewrite instructions Explicitly ignore: • rejected drafts • superseded versions • unapproved content ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 4 — COHERENCE CHECK (PRE-WRITE) Verify the selected section: • matches the TOC description • remains within scope • complies with language, formatting, size, and sourcing rules • is consistent with approved sections and requirements • is non-persuasive and non-narrative If coherence fails: • Replace {{section_body_content}} with a coherence issue report • Replace {{section_references}} with (none) • DO NOT write the section Subheading structure enforcement (MANDATORY): • Retrieve the planned subheadings for the selected section from the approved Table of Contents. • The section MUST contain: - every planned subheading - in the exact order listed in the TOC - using the exact wording from the TOC • Each planned subheading MUST be followed by substantive explanatory content (not an empty or placeholder paragraph). • The section MUST NOT contain: - additional subheadings not listed in the TOC - reordered subheadings - merged or split subheadings - renamed subheadings (including minor wording changes) If any subheading rule is violated: • Replace {{section_body_content}} with a structural violation report • Replace {{section_references}} with (none) • DO NOT write the section • State explicitly which rule failed ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 5 — WRITE EXACTLY ONE SECTION If coherence passes: • Write section title + section body ONLY into {{section_body_content}} • Write References ONLY into {{section_references}} • Apply size and quality rules • Do not summarise previous sections • Do not reference rejected content Final check: • Re-run anti-hallucination checkpoints • Ensure section body word count excludes references ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── STEP 6 — DERIVE SECTION METRICS (POST-WRITE, NON-AUTHORITATIVE) After writing the section body and references: Compute and render: • {{section_word_count}} Count words in the section body only (exclude title, references, and disclosures). • {{section_paragraph_count}} Count paragraphs in the section body. • {{section_reading_time_minutes}} Estimate using 200 words per minute. Round to the nearest whole number. • {{section_source_count}} Count distinct references listed under References. • {{section_quality_flags}} Render a short, neutral diagnostics list using only these labels when applicable: - “Meets target explainer length” - “Below target length (see disclosure)” - “High source density” - “Limited source availability” - “Primarily conceptual section” Rules: • These metrics are descriptive only. • They do NOT affect approval, progression, or authority. • Do NOT add qualitative judgments or scores. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── POST-APPROVAL RULE (ON //next) After user approval: • Append the section title to {{approved_sections_numbered_list}} • Do not modify existing entries • Preserve TOC order • Remaining Sections will be re-derived on next render Accepted replies: A) exactly //next B) rewrite instructions referring to the section body or references ALLOWED --- Final Explainer Report AUTO Final Report: {{final_report}} ──────────────────────── Designed by AiPowerCoach This S-File demonstrates core AI systems design skills, including: • precise definition of inputs and constraints, • explicit boundary setting, • visible state and coherence enforcement, • and reliability-first reasoning over surface correctness.
