# Prompt Templates

This file documents the public prompt serialization used by the current release build. Separate source-side task-meta prompting is intentionally disabled in this public release.

## Standard multiple-choice template

```text
{question}

A: {choice_A}
B: {choice_B}
...

Choose exactly one option label.

Output protocol:
- You may include brief reasoning before the final answer.
- The final line must be exactly: <ANSWER>A</ANSWER>
- Do not output anything after </ANSWER>.
```

## `T8` Temporal Ordering template

```text
You are shown 3 frames from a robot manipulation task.
The frames are labeled X, Y, Z (these labels are arbitrary identifiers, not positional, and not time-ordered).
Determine the correct chronological order of these frames (from earliest to latest).
Choose exactly one 3-letter permutation, for example: YXZ means Y happened first, then X, then Z.

Output protocol:
- You may include brief reasoning before the final answer.
- The final line must be exactly: <ANSWER>XYZ</ANSWER>
- Do not output anything after </ANSWER>.
```

## `T9` Temporal Priority template

```text
A single comparison image shows two labeled robot-manipulation panels from the same episode.
The left-right placement of the panels and the labels are arbitrary identifiers and do not indicate temporal order.
Which labeled panel happened earlier in the real manipulation sequence, X or Y?
Choose exactly one label: X or Y.

Output protocol:
- You may include brief reasoning before the final answer.
- The final line must be exactly: <ANSWER>X</ANSWER>
- Do not output anything after </ANSWER>.
