## 💬 **AI Prompt System**

### **prompts/agent_prompts.py** - Structured AI Prompts
**Purpose**: Organized prompt engineering for consistent AI output
**Structure**: Modular prompt classes for different content types

**Prompt Categories**:
```python
class ContentPrompts:
    def __init__(self):
        self.headline_prompts = HeadlinePrompts()      # LinkedIn headline optimization
        self.about_prompts = AboutPrompts()            # Professional summary creation
        self.experience_prompts = ExperiencePrompts()  # Experience description enhancement
        self.general_prompts = GeneralPrompts()        # General improvement suggestions
```

**Prompt Engineering Principles**:
- **Context Inclusion**: Always provide relevant profile data
- **Output Structure**: Specify desired format and length
- **Constraint Definition**: Character limits, professional tone requirements
- **Example Provision**: Include high-quality examples for reference
- **Industry Adaptation**: Tailor prompts based on detected industry/role

**Sample Prompt Structure**:
```python
HEADLINE_ANALYSIS = """
Analyze this LinkedIn headline and provide improvement suggestions:

Current headline: "{headline}"
Target role: "{target_role}" 
Key skills: {skills}

Consider:
1. Keyword optimization for the target role
2. Value proposition clarity
3. Professional branding
4. Character limit (120 chars max)
5. Industry-specific terms

Provide 3-5 alternative headline suggestions.
"""
```
