Context Drift
Decision Pack
— XELANTA Edition

Stop iterating on broken prompts.
Make decisive calls.
Force decision closure on context drift.

Plain markdown files. No vendor lock-in.

Example markdown template titled "Contract Freeze" showing a decision framework for stopping prompt iteration. The template includes checkboxes for "Contract frozen" status and "STOP - escalation required" enforcement rule when behavior changes after fixes. Below that is an "Iteration Stop Rule" section with enforcement guidelines that prohibit further iteration when issues reappear or shift after a fix.
contract_freeze.md
# Contract Freeze
## Decision
- [] Contract frozen
- [ ] Contract NOT frozen → STOP
# Iteration Stop Rule
## Enforcement
If behavior changes after fix,
AND issue reappears or shifts,
FURTHER ITERATION PROHIBITED.
- [ ] Continue iterating
- [] STOP — escalation required

This pack does not control AI behavior. It exists to force decision closure.

The real problem

Context drift doesn't come from bad prompts.
It comes from bad decisions.

You tweak a prompt. The AI behaves differently. You don't know if it's better or just different.

You iterate. The issue reappears somewhere else. You iterate again. The cycle never ends.

Because you never decided what must NOT change.

This pack forces that decision. No guidance. No optimization. Just structure for the call you should have made at the start.

What's in the pack

Contract Freeze

Define what must NOT change. Semantic intent. Safety boundaries. Trust expectations. If you can't complete this clearly, STOP.

Iteration Stop Rule

If the problem shifts after a fix, STOP. Further prompt iteration is prohibited. Escalate to architecture.

Context Drift Decision

The final decision record. Document the freeze, the rationale, and the constraints. This is the artifact you share when stakeholders ask why iteration stopped.

Decision Mirror Prompt

A system prompt that flags evasive decisions and reopened boundaries. It doesn't give guidance. It mirrors your evasion back to you.

Worked Example

A completed pack for a real scenario. See how decisions close loops instead of opening more.

Who is this for?

✓ You're shipping an LLM-powered product

And you need to know when to stop tweaking prompts and start changing architecture.

✓ You're tired of endless iteration

Every fix creates a new issue. You need structure that says "STOP" before you waste more time.

✓ You need defensible decisions

Your stakeholders ask why you changed the prompt. You need documentation that shows you made a structured call, not a guess.

✗ This pack is NOT for you if:

  • • You want the AI to suggest fixes or improvements
  • • You expect guidance on "best practices"
  • • You're looking for prompt optimization tips
  • • You want something that makes decisions easier

This pack makes decisions harder. That's the point.

"The value is not the files.
The value is the decisions they force."

This pack is a mirror, not a guide. It shows you when you're avoiding the call you need to make.

Common questions

What format is the pack?
ZIP file with markdown (.md) decision files and a README. Plain text files you can edit in any text editor or version control.
Will this help me optimize my prompts?
No. This pack doesn't optimize anything. It forces you to decide when iteration must stop and architectural change must begin.
How long does it take to use?
First pass: 30–60 minutes to complete the decision artifacts. Each subsequent use: 15–30 minutes to update and enforce decisions.
Can my team use this?
Yes. Share the pack within your team.
