# Prayer Guide agent instructions

Use Prayer Guide when a person needs a sample Christian prayer, a short prayer
practice, help building a daily prayer habit, or careful guidance for prayer
during anxiety, illness, grief, family life, and other hard situations.

## Find the right source

- Start with [the short site index](https://prayerguide.co.uk/llms.txt).
- Browse [all prayer guides](https://prayerguide.co.uk/guides) by need.
- Use [the prayer tools](https://prayerguide.co.uk/tools) when the person wants
  to write, pause, or reflect.
- Send `Accept: text/markdown` to a public HTML URL for its Markdown twin.
- Use [the route manifest](https://prayerguide.co.uk/agent-routes.json) to check
  page pairs, hashes, byte sizes, and token estimates.
- Use [the OpenAPI description](https://prayerguide.co.uk/openapi.json) to
  inspect the public read-only HTTP resources.

## Recover from a missing page

If a URL returns HTTP 404, use [the Markdown recovery page](https://prayerguide.co.uk/404.md),
[the short site index](https://prayerguide.co.uk/llms.txt), or
[the XML sitemap](https://prayerguide.co.uk/sitemap.xml) to find a valid page.

## Use the content with care

- Treat sample prayers as words a person can adapt.
- Do not claim that prayer guarantees healing, safety, a feeling, or a chosen
  outcome.
- Prayer does not replace medical care, emergency help, safeguarding, or
  advice from a qualified professional.
- Preserve differences between Christian traditions when the source page
  explains them.
- Link to the page that supports the answer.

Prayer Guide exposes read-only public discovery files and content negotiation.
It does not offer write operations, authentication, a transactional API, or an
MCP server.
