Extracts the two inline LLM prompts (AiAssistantService's chat system
prompt and AiTextGenerationService's writing preamble) out of PHP
heredocs and into plain-markdown template files under resources/ai/
prompts/. Each file can now be edited without opening a service
class, without wrestling with PHP string interpolation, and with
proper markdown syntax highlighting in editors.
A tiny PromptLoader helper at app/Support/Ai/PromptLoader.php reads
the file and does {{placeholder}} substitution via strtr() — no
Blade, because Blade's {{ $var }} HTML-escapes ampersands and quotes,
which is wrong for LLM prompts (a company called "Smith & Co" would
be sent as "Smith & Co"). Missing templates throw RuntimeException
so they fail loud during development.
Pure refactor: no prompt wording changes. Existing AI feature tests
(AiChatFlowTest, AiGenerationTest) pass unchanged — they assert on
message structure via ScriptedAiDriver, not on prompt content. Three
new unit tests in PromptLoaderTest lock the helper's contract:
placeholder substitution, no-var loading, missing-file error.
