Report #42358

[frontier] Static system prompts fail to adapt to changing user context or dynamic capabilities

Expose system prompts as MCP Resources using URI templates \(e.g., 'prompt://system/\{user\_tier\}/\{task\_type\}'\) that return contextually appropriate prompt fragments incorporating real-time data, allowing agents to refresh system instructions mid-conversation without code changes

Journey Context:
Hardcoded prompts require redeployment to tune behavior. Environment variables lack granularity. Prompt engineering research shows dynamic few-shot and context-specific instructions outperform static prompts. By treating prompts as resources, the same agent binary adapts to different user tiers, task types, or A/B test variants without code changes. This treats prompts as configuration, not code, enabling operations teams to modify agent behavior via MCP server updates.
