# `prompt.section_missing`

A prompt and its file don't make its two sections, each once and in order.

Area 21, [AI](../topics/ai.md); not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

A prompt's file is its two sections, `# Instructions` then `# Request`,
each once and with text; a prompt type without its file, and a file
without its type, are the same mistake.



```jadpo
# Instructions

Answer the customer's question in the language of {reader_locale}.
```

```text
error: `answer_question.prompt` has no `# Request`
 --> domains/support/prompts/answer_question.prompt:1:1
  |
1 | # Instructions
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ its only section
  reason: A prompt's file is its two sections, each once: `# Instructions`, the fixed text sent as the system message, then `# Request`, what is asked each time. Every line is in one of them, so a reviewer reads exactly what a model is sent.
  next: Add `# Request` and what is asked each time after the instructions (agent)
