System prompt

A system prompt is the standing instructions an AI is given before a conversation starts — who it is, what it can do, and how it should behave — as opposed to whatever the user types.

Every AI response is shaped by two layers: what you ask, and the instructions running underneath that you never see. The system prompt is that underneath layer — it's why the same model can act like a customer support bot in one product and a coding assistant in another.

Assistant

Masterforce assembles each system prompt from the same ordered set of real, current facts — who's asking, their permissions, the accessible node tree, and what capabilities are available — never a static block of instructions. A user's assistant and an agent's own run share the same underlying builder, just framed for who's acting.
