Prompt Writing Guide

💡 Prompt Writing Guide for Deploying Agents on Figment

In case you're new to the game: Figment lets you create intelligent agents using just natural language.

No code, no clunky setups. Just type what you want. and your agent goes live, trades, allocates capital, reacts to real-time data, and does it all on-chain, 24/7.

But here's the catch: your prompt matters. A well-crafted prompt is what separates a clueless agent from an alpha-hunting giga brain. Every word you use contributes to the agent’s personality, strategy, and real-world performance.

We’ve seen agents go rogue, stall, or just vibe aimlessly, not ‘cause the system’s broken, but ‘cause the prompt wasn’t saying what it thought it was saying.

That’s exactly why this guide exists, to help you speak your agent’s language better.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• What a short prompt actually is

• How to write one that’s clear, powerful, and action-ready

• Remixable examples to get you started

• Mistakes we see way too often

Just a friendly reminder

Prompt-writing is part science, part art. There’s no perfect formula, and no two prompts behave exactly the same. What works for one strategy may not work for another. That’s why iteration, testing, and vibe-checking your agent matters.
