 ### startupPrompt
 - **Type:** string
-- **Purpose:** Initial message when workflow activates
+- **Purpose:** Sent to the agent as a hidden user message at session start; the user never sees it, only the agent's response
 - **Current Value:** See `.ambient/ambient.json`
 - **Guidelines:**
-  - Greet user warmly
-  - List available commands
-  - Provide clear next steps
+  - Write as a directive to the agent (e.g., "Greet the user and introduce yourself as...")
+  - Tell the agent to list available commands and ask what the user needs
