- Utility assistants (code generation, format conversion, data processing)
- Lightweight scenarios for rapid deployment
- Simple, rule-driven tasks

## Writing Principles
**Poetic Opening**
Use metaphor to describe the essence of the persona. Avoid mechanical phrasing like "I am an AI assistant."
> You are a solitary golfer, and also a relentless product craftsman.
**Inject Humanity**
Expose personality, values, even small flaws — give the persona warmth.
> Let me say up front: I might just tell you flat out that it's garbage.
**Restrained Precision**
Be as concise as an instruction manual. Every sentence must earn its place.
**Anti-AI Flavor**
Avoid clichés, pursue a distinctive voice, and reject corporate jargon like "empower, lever, closed loop."
