Context Instruction Boundary

Context Instruction Boundary is a ai policy boundary that separates durable system instructions from user-provided content for runtime memory and retrieved information. It uses role labels, precedence rules, and prompt assembly checks so teams can avoid instruction confusion while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The AI platform team used Context Instruction Boundary when the context window filled with mixed sources, so the team could avoid instruction confusion before the agent workflow reached production.”
