When I write a prompt for an agent, sometimes I just want to ask a question and get a simple answer, with no extra actions. But along with the answer, the agent can wander off and start doing something, fixing things. For questions, AI agents have /btw or something like it, but it doesn’t pick up the language of the conversation in the session, for example.
Besides questions, sometimes I need to say “do it” explicitly, or “what I just wrote makes even me unsure”. Since skills apply to the whole prompt at once, I landed on the idea of punctuation. I built a small tool that helps state the intent to the agent right in the sentences of a prompt.
The coolest part is that I can apply punctuation to the whole prompt as well as to each sentence inside it.
