[Orchestra] Agents missing system prompts
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Feb 2, 2026 by OguzhanCetinkaya Closed Mar 3, 2026
Problem
All agents (Planner, Plan Reviewer, Engineer, Code Reviewer) have system_prompt: null. Without system prompts, the agents don't know their specific roles.
Expected Behavior
Each agent should have a system prompt that defines:
- Their role and responsibilities
- What kind of output they should produce
- How they should interact with the codebase
Current Agent States
Planner: system_prompt: null
Plan Reviewer: system_prompt: null
Engineer: system_prompt: null
Code Reviewer: system_prompt: null
Impact
Without system prompts:
- Planner analyzed existing code instead of creating an implementation plan
- Agents don't understand their specific workflow roles
- The multi-agent workflow cannot function as designed
Proposed Solution
- Allow setting system prompts for agents via UI or API
- Provide default system prompts for common agent roles
- Consider using the
instructions_contentorinstructions_pathfields that exist in the Agent model
