Message Style by Profile#
Use profile-specific communication so diagnostics help the right audience.
user#
clear and calm,
explain what happened,
show concrete fix.
Template:
Error: <what happened>.
Solution: <what to do>.
Example: <short example>.
dev#
technical precision,
include context and code.
Template:
Error [CODE]: <message>
Context: function=..., arg=..., value=...
Hint: ...
qa#
reproducible and structured.
Template:
[CODE] <message> | source=<module.func> | input=<summary>
Expected: <expected-behavior>
Observed: <observed-behavior>
agent#
machine-readable and minimal fields.
Template:
code=MYLIB-E101 level=ERROR source=mylib.core.analysis.run action=fix_input extra.argument=format
You are done when#
each profile has explicit message/hint behavior in your catalog,
user profile avoids unnecessary internal jargon,
dev/qa/agent profiles preserve structured diagnostic detail.
