# Default system prompt

> Piebald's default system prompt.

Unlike most agentic development tools, Piebald does not currently have a default system prompt.  For the present, we find that many models work just fine without a system prompt.

When we implement emulation of other agentic development tools, you'll be able to use their system prompts, and we'll consider developing a system prompt of our own; however, a large system prompt will generally just waste token space for capable models like Claude and GPT-5.x that don't directly need one.
