Phase 2 Plan 3: Prompt Templates Summary

Markdown prompt templates with {{variable}} substitution and PromptLoader class for context recovery, command mapping, and error handling

Performance

• Duration: 5 min
• Started: 2026-03-11T05:00:02Z
• Completed: 2026-03-11T05:05:00Z
• Tasks: 3
• Files modified: 6

Accomplishments

• Created three prompt templates for GSD-OpenClaw skill orchestration
• Implemented PromptLoader class with template caching and safe variable substitution
• All 10 tests pass for template loading and rendering

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Create test scaffold for prompt templates - 7e33a4a (test)
2. Task 2: Create prompt template files - 8bd5104 (feat)
3. Task 3: Implement PromptLoader class - 8895add (feat)

Files Created/Modified

• src/gsd_openclaw/prompts/__init__.py - Package marker for prompts directory
• src/gsd_openclaw/prompts/context_recovery.md - Session context recovery template
• src/gsd_openclaw/prompts/command_mapping.md - User input to GSD command mapping template
• src/gsd_openclaw/prompts/error_recovery.md - Error message generation template
• src/gsd_openclaw/prompt_loader.py - Template loader with caching and substitution
• tests/test_prompt_templates.py - Tests for template existence and PromptLoader

Decisions Made

• Used {{variable}} syntax for placeholders (user decision from CONTEXT.md)
• Used simple string.replace() instead of string.Template or Jinja2 - keeps zero dependencies
• Safe substitution: missing variables left as literal {{variable}} strings

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None - all tests pass, implementation straightforward.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Prompt templates ready for Phase 3 orchestrator to use
• PromptLoader can be imported and used directly
• Template caching provides performance benefit for repeated renders
