Skip-risk reordering

Published Updated

Also called Skip-risk principle

What is Skip-risk reordering?

A prompt-writing convention where the feature most likely to be skipped or de-prioritized goes first in a multi-feature prompt.

When AI agents work through a long prompt, they sometimes truncate or skip later sections. The skip-risk convention puts the highest-risk-of-being-skipped feature first, ensuring it gets full attention. The convention is part of Orbit's prompt review checklist.
