How to Use This Appendix
Definitions
Use the Glossary sections to find clear, standard definitions for frameworks and terms. This ensures you are using the language of the system correctly.
Locations
Use the Index sections to locate where specific frameworks, tools, and concepts appear in the modules. This helps you jump to the right lesson.
Glossary — Core Frameworks
A seven-field structure for defining intent: purpose, audience, constraints, tone, format, inputs, and expected output.
A five-pass refinement method to strengthen clarity, alignment, structure, consistency, and outcome focus.
A six-dimension accuracy check covering meaning, integrity, relevance, reliability, outcome alignment, and repeatability.
A value measurement model that evaluates alignment, leverage, outcome quality, repeatability, and Δ improvement.
A continuity framework for storing prompts, workflows, decisions, and outputs in reusable formats.
Glossary — Key Concepts
The process of defining purpose, audience, and boundaries before generating any output.
A prompt built using defined fields, constraints, and measurable expectations.
Ensuring the generated result matches the intended practical purpose.
A focused revision cycle guided by SPARK-5™.
A checkpoint where MIRROR-6™ is used to validate correctness and alignment.
Evaluating whether an output creates practical improvement using VALOR-Δ.
A template for storing prompts, outputs, review notes, and scores for future reuse.
A defined sequence of steps used to perform a task from intent to verified outcome.
A reusable reasoning or generation method used within prompts or workflows.
A documented example showing how a structured prompt produced a measurable, verifiable result.
Glossary — Prompting Terms
Information that guides the model about purpose, audience, or boundaries.
Rules that restrict how the model should behave (e.g., length, exclusions).
Clear instructions describing expected format, style, or level of detail.
Standards used to measure accuracy or value within a prompt.
A checkpoint used to confirm alignment during a workflow.
A short record explaining changes made between iterations.
The measurable difference between an earlier version and an updated version.
Glossary — Workflow Tools
A structured form used to define intent or plan steps.
A short list of required checks used to prevent errors.
A rating grid used for accuracy or value evaluation.
A structured record used to capture prompts, drafts, and final decisions.
A guide that helps choose an appropriate reasoning pattern.
A tool for constructing a step-by-step path for any task.
