Briefing Contents

1. Penfield System Philosophy - Memory continuity, knowledge graph concepts, workflow guidelines
2. Base Persona - Core assistant personality (e.g., "Classic Assistant")
3. Custom Instructions - User-defined behavioral overrides

Notes

• The briefing is formatted with section markers (=== SECTION NAME ===)
• Custom instructions override base persona settings
• Response is tenant-specific to the authenticated user
