Skip-risk reordering

← All terms · Orbit-internal concepts

Also called Skip-risk principle

A prompt-writing convention where the feature most likely to be skipped or de-prioritized goes first in a multi-feature prompt.

What it is

When AI agents work through a long prompt, they sometimes truncate or skip later sections. The skip-risk convention puts the highest-risk-of-being-skipped feature first, ensuring it gets full attention. The convention is part of Orbit's prompt review checklist.

When you would use it

You apply skip-risk reordering during prompt drafting and review. Prompt review checks for it.

Common operations

  • Drafting multi-feature prompts
  • Ordering subtasks in Coordinator Mode plans
  • Reviewing prompts before queueing
