Assemble Tool Prompts Dynamically per Environment
Stop shipping one static mega-prompt: generate tool prompts from environment conditions, inject blocks only when features are on, and dedupe config to save tokens.
The Route
0/4 verifiedIdentify conditional blocks
Find what only sometimes belongs in the prompt.
Build the prompt generator
Prompts become code with inputs, not strings.
Dedupe and budget every block
Every injected token must earn its place.
Verify against live environments
The generator must be right in every configuration, not just the default.

Paste this first. It briefs the AI on requirements, constraints, and the Definition of Done before your first build prompt.
Paste this into your AI builder first. It teaches the AI what you want before you give it the build prompt.
