## The Seven Levels of Agentic Prompts
| Level | Name | Key Capability | Use When |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **1** | High-Level Prompt | One-off tasks | Simple, repeatable task |
| **2** | Workflow Prompt | Sequential execution | Need step-by-step |
| **3** | Control Flow | Conditionals/loops | Need branching/iteration |
| **4** | Delegation Prompt | Multi-agent work | Need parallel agents |
| **5** | Higher-Order | Process other prompts | Building on specs |
| **6** | Template Meta | Generate prompts | Creating prompt libraries |
| **7** | Self-Improving | Knowledge accumulation | Long-term expertise |

## The 80/20 Rule
> "Levels 3-4 cover 80% of practical use cases."
**Don't over-engineer.** Start simple, upgrade only when needed.

## Quick Decision Guide
- **Simple task?** -> Level 1
- **Need steps?** -> Level 2
- **If/else or loops?** -> Level 3
- **Multiple agents?** -> Level 4
- **Process specs?** -> Level 5
- **Create prompts?** -> Level 6
- **Self-evolving?** -> Level 7
