Glossary — Core Frameworks

CLARITY-7™

A seven-field structure for defining intent: purpose, audience, constraints, tone, format, inputs, and expected output.

SPARK-5™

A five-pass refinement method to strengthen clarity, alignment, structure, consistency, and outcome focus.

MIRROR-6™

A six-dimension accuracy check covering meaning, integrity, relevance, reliability, outcome alignment, and repeatability.

VALOR-Δ

A value measurement model that evaluates alignment, leverage, outcome quality, repeatability, and Δ improvement.

TESSERA™

A continuity framework for storing prompts, workflows, decisions, and outputs in reusable formats.

Glossary — Key Concepts

Intent Design

The process of defining purpose, audience, and boundaries before generating any output.

Structured Prompt

A prompt built using defined fields, constraints, and measurable expectations.

Outcome Alignment

Ensuring the generated result matches the intended practical purpose.

Refinement Pass

A focused revision cycle guided by SPARK-5™.

Accuracy Gate

A checkpoint where MIRROR-6™ is used to validate correctness and alignment.

Value Measurement

Evaluating whether an output creates practical improvement using VALOR-Δ.

Continuity Log

A template for storing prompts, outputs, review notes, and scores for future reuse.

Workflow

A defined sequence of steps used to perform a task from intent to verified outcome.

Pattern

A reusable reasoning or generation method used within prompts or workflows.

Proof Artifact™

A documented example showing how a structured prompt produced a measurable, verifiable result.

Glossary — Prompting Terms

Context Block

Information that guides the model about purpose, audience, or boundaries.

Constraint Block

Rules that restrict how the model should behave (e.g., length, exclusions).

Output Specification

Clear instructions describing expected format, style, or level of detail.

Evaluation Criteria

Standards used to measure accuracy or value within a prompt.

Verification Step

A checkpoint used to confirm alignment during a workflow.

Version Note

A short record explaining changes made between iterations.

Δ Improvement

The measurable difference between an earlier version and an updated version.

Glossary — Workflow Tools

Template

A structured form used to define intent or plan steps.

Checklist

A short list of required checks used to prevent errors.

Scorecard

A rating grid used for accuracy or value evaluation.

Log

A structured record used to capture prompts, drafts, and final decisions.

Pattern Selector

A guide that helps choose an appropriate reasoning pattern.

Workflow Builder

A tool for constructing a step-by-step path for any task.
