To reduce hallucinations in agent personas, define explicit boundaries, verification gates, and strict Always/Never constraints in the markdown file. Replacing vague instructions with invariants and termination logic keeps autonomous agents focused and prevents activation drift.

Always/Ask first/Never guardrails are safety constraints defined in agent persona files. They explicitly dictate actions an autonomous agent must always do, request permission for, or never execute, preventing unsafe actions and activation drift during domain-specific workflows.

You create a workflow contract by defining initialization sequences, pruning fluff to reduce token usage, and establishing strict verification gates. This standardized structure ensures the autonomous agent follows a disciplined workflow with clear termination logic.

Your CLAUDE.md file needs invariants and termination logic if you are building a narrow, domain-specific autonomous agent. Adding these elements enforces boundaries, standardizes workflows, and prevents the agent from continuing tasks past safe completion points.

The best way to format an agent persona markdown is using output-only formatting without conversational wrappers. Following disciplined structure with clear scope, workflow contracts, and explicit boundaries ensures high-performance execution for autonomous agents.
