KingMode prompt enforces coding-model discipline
KingMode is a GitHub-hosted system prompt for coding agents. It wraps models in a senior front-end architect persona, enforces installed-library discipline, and adds an ULTRATHINK trigger to slow down on harder architecture and backend work.
This is prompt engineering as guardrail design, not hype engineering. KingMode changes the model's defaults: fewer fake libraries, more deliberate planning, and a cleaner split between quick UI generation and deeper architecture work. The ULTRATHINK trigger is basically a manual effort dial for reasoning depth. Because it lives at the system-prompt layer, it is portable across IDEs and agent runtimes that accept prompt injection. The tradeoff is token burn and occasional over-minimal output, so humans still need to steer taste and final decisions. As a public GitHub prompt, it is easy to fork, audit, and adapt for different model families.
