Intent vs Prescriptive Spectrum
Principle: Workflows lean toward intent (goals) not prescription (exact wording). The more intent-based, the more adaptive and creative the LLM can be.
When to Use Each
Intent-Based (Default)
Use for: Most workflows - creative, exploratory, collaborative Step instruction: "Help the user understand X using multi-turn conversation. Probe to get good answers. Ask 1-2 questions at a time, not a laundry list." LLM figures out: Exact wording, question order, how to respond
Prescriptive (Exception)
Use for: Compliance, safety, legal, medical, regulated industries Step instruction: "Say exactly: 'Do you currently experience fever, cough, or fatigue?' Wait for response. Then ask exactly: 'When did symptoms begin?'" LLM follows: Exact script, specific order, no deviation
Examples
Intent-Based (Good for most)
"Guide the user through discovering their ideal nutrition plan.
Use multi-turn conversation. Ask 1-2 questions at a time.
Think about their responses before asking follow-ups.
Probe to understand preferences, restrictions, goals."
Prescriptive (Only when required)
"Medical intake - ask exactly:
1. 'Do you have any of these symptoms: fever, cough, fatigue?'
2. 'When did symptoms begin?'
3. 'Have you traveled recently in the last 14 days?'
Follow sequence precisely. Do not deviate."
Step Writing Tips
- Default to intent - give goals, not scripts
- Use "think" - "Think about their response before..."
- Multi-turn - "Use conversation, not interrogation"
- Progressive - "Ask 1-2 questions at a time"
- Probe - "Ask follow-ups to understand deeper"
Only use prescriptive when compliance/regulation requires it.
