To my understanding you aren’t missing anything. What helps myself get through this caos is the following simplified rationale “It is all a lie. Everything is just another prompt.” Therefore your usage might not be standard or documented but can work just as fine.
Not trying to be disrespectful at all with the “lie" here. Product is trying to name and build use cases and follow standards the best they can…and it’s tough.
It just helps me understand that all we are doing is telling LLMs what to do in a prompt or where to find the longer instructions (aka prompt) to avoid filling up the context. The rest on top is a essentially looping/harnessing/if-this-then-that nothing else.
