# The Prompt Sandwich Architecture
The core logic behind the AI Studio's high-quality output. It beats generic AI by "sandwiching" the user's raw input between layers of rigorous context.
## The Stack
1. **System Layer (Identity):**
* **Persona:** Who is speaking? (Loaded from Brand Settings)
* **Voice/Tone:** How do they sound?
* **Audience:** Who are they talking to?
2. **Context Layer (Hall of Fame):**
* **The "Gold Standard":** 10 dynamic examples of the user's best work.
* **Why:** AI learns style by imitation (few-shot prompting) better than by instruction.
* **Optimization:** Use **Prompt Caching** here. The 10 examples are static 90% of the time, so caching them reduces API costs by ~90% on subsequent calls.
3. **Instruction Layer (The Spell):**
* **The "Secret Sauce":** The specific formula for the chosen spell (e.g., "Punchify", "Hook Optimizer").
* **Constraints:** Formatting rules (e.g., "No hashtags", "Grade 5 readability").
4. **Input Layer (The Meat):**
* **User Content:** The raw idea or draft provided in the editor.
## The Output
The model (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) processes the entire stack and outputs 3 variations:
1. **Safe/Direct:** Close to the input, just polished.
2. **Bold/Contrarian:** Lean into the "DBCrypto" edge.
3. **Story-Driven:** Narrative focus.conceptPrompt Sandwich Architecture
