The fact it needs to implicitly be stated.
Every prompt will get this info, probably not only initially, since it could run out of context window. But every re-prompt in existing chats, even, gets one system prompt per model used per chat dialogue done.
Adds a fraction of cent of electric power just to every usage.
At home, I work with 65k context window, and if my system prompt and agents.md were both this length, I would spend two-thirds of the input window, before compacting which perhaps alleviates the issue for my use case, on re-feeding what mostly the reinforcement-learning should have implicitly baked in.
