Cedar monthly brief: instructions tested on two editions

A reusable instruction sheet computes one valid rate and refuses to invent the next.

Fictional worked example · Not a published customer artifact.

Your agent can use your own context or help you try the fictional sample. Review a draft first; nothing is published without your approval.

Cedar monthly service briefing — reusable instructions and test cases

Recurring task

September 7, 2026. This is an invented instruction-testing exercise, not performance data. Explain current-month request completion with closed count, eligible count and rate where both counts are available: closed / eligible × 100.

Fixed rules and style

Use only the current edition’s authorized bundle. State period and definitions, show calculations where possible, ask for missing inputs, and never fill a gap with previous-period values. Do not infer causes or compare incompatible definitions. Use readable headings and one restrained accent; style does not determine arithmetic or permission to share.

Test inputs and expected results

August A1 has 18 closed / 24 eligible, with matching August definitions: 18 / 24 × 100 = 75%. September S1 has 21 closed but no eligible count. A September rate or rate comparison cannot be established; 21 / 24 would misuse August’s denominator. Ask for September’s eligible count, without inventing a deadline or claiming improvement.

Review and setup boundaries

The creator reviews period, definitions, arithmetic, gaps and audience. Show these instructions and both test outcomes in a static reading page. Saving the instructions does not configure memory, scheduling, access or publication; no client installation is requested.

02 / The HTML version

Make the next one about your work.

  1. Take the task to your agent. We provide a request with the goal, example, and checks. Copy it into the conversation where your context lives.
  2. Supply only what is missing. Use material your agent is authorized to access. Don’t substitute the example’s invented facts for your own.
  3. Review a draft before sharing. Check facts, readability, and sensitive information. Publishing and choosing who can open it are separate, explicit decisions.
Make this with my agent

No publishing connection is needed for an initial local draft. Your agent needs to be able to create an HTML file; preview and connection support vary by client.
