Civilisation OS Prompt Pack: Canonical Runtime Prompts for LLMs + Agents

Civilisation OS Prompt Pack
Canonical Runtime Prompts for LLMs + Agents

Most AI prompts ask for an answer.

Civilisation OS prompts ask for execution.

That is the difference between:

a fluent text generator
and
a drift-resistant operator

This page is a canonical prompt pack for running Civilisation OS inside any LLM or agent system. You can copy/paste these prompts directly.

System boundary
Mechanism (causal lever)
Execution (daily/weekly cadence, owners, actions)

Return:

Trust score (0–5) and the truth bottlenecks
Evidence of fear culture / narrative management / suppression
5-minute tests to verify truth latency (time to admit reality)
One recovery mode to restore truth flow
Retest probes that confirm truth is safe again

Prompt 05 — Load Overload Detector (Coordination Cost Audit)

Copy/Paste Prompt:

Audit load. Identify coordination overload and the biggest load reducers.

SYSTEM: [ ]
WORKFLOW (end-to-end): [describe briefly]
SYMPTOMS: [meetings, approvals, delays, burnout, backlog]

Return:

Load score (0–5) + the main overload sources
Handoff count estimate and where it spikes
3 load-shedding interventions (but choose only ONE to execute)
30-day plan + cadence
Retest probes (lead time, backlog burn, incident rate, quality)

Prompt 06 — Depth Audit (Capability + Foundations)

Copy/Paste Prompt:

Audit depth. Identify whether capability foundations are real or hollow.

SYSTEM: [ ]
WHAT “CAPABILITY” MEANS HERE: [skills, competence, understanding]
SYMPTOMS: [hero dependence, shallow learning, rote execution]

Return:

Depth score (0–5) + why
Where foundations are missing
One recovery mode to rebuild depth
30-day training / practice / standardisation plan
Retest probes: teach-back / transfer / independence style tests

Prompt 07 — Education Collapse Probe (DLT for Learning)

Copy/Paste Prompt:

Run an education collapse diagnostic using DLT: Depth, Load, Transfer.

STUDENT/COHORT: [ ]
SUBJECT/TOPIC: [ ]
SYMPTOMS: [ ]

Return:

D/L/T scores (0–5)
Which failure mode dominates (Depth vs Load vs Transfer)
5-minute probes (teach-back, pressure gap, reword, delay, independence)
One recovery mode and 30-day plan
Retest probes and what “pass” means
