GPT-6 Prompting Guide
Produce a usable prompt or instruction change for GPT-6 Astra or GPT-6.1 Sol. Keep legacy GPT-6 Sol distinct when maintaining an older integration. Start from the requested outcome and the information the model needs to achieve it. Preserve useful domain knowledge and precise constraints; reconsider inherited scaffolding before adding another rule.
This package applies OpenAI's Rethinking skills and prompts for GPT-6 Astra and the prompting best practices in Using GPT-6. It guides prompt authors regardless of which model performs the edit. Loading it does not select a model or provide runtime capabilities.
Astra And Sol
OpenAI publishes one set of prompts for the GPT-6 family. They address behavior observed with Astra, and OpenAI asks that they be evaluated with the chosen model and workload; there is no separate Sol prompting guide. Use the same patterns for both models, and before adding a clause for Sol, check that the Sol workload shows the behavior the clause addresses: clarification pauses, sensitivity to skill files, heavily formatted output, under-delegation, or broader testing than the change needs.
GPT-6.1 Sol is gpt-6.1-sol, distinct from legacy gpt-6-sol. Astra and Sol 6.1 require Responses for tools, and neither accepts none; Sol 6.1 also rejects minimal. Its API default effort is medium. Runtime notes separate current model contracts from legacy settings and Codex catalog values. Model assignment belongs to gpt6-astra-model-routing; shared prompting guidance does not make Sol a default for judgment-bearing work.
