The COMPEL Glossary Graph visualizes relationships between framework terminology, showing how concepts interconnect across domains, stages, and pillars. Term nodes cluster by pillar affiliation while cross-references reveal semantic dependencies — for example, how risk appetite connects to control effectiveness, model governance, and assurance requirements. This network representation helps practitioners navigate the framework vocabulary and understand that COMPEL terminology forms a coherent conceptual system rather than isolated definitions.
COMPEL Glossary / user-prompt
User prompt
End-user input that consumes the system prompt's behavior — the "request" side of an LLM interaction.
What this means in practice
Distinct from system prompt because it arrives from a less-trusted source (often external users) and is therefore the attack surface for prompt injection and jailbreak techniques.
Synonyms
user message , end-user input
See also
- System prompt — Operator-authored instructions that set behavior, persona, and boundaries for a model — distinguished from user prompts because the system prompt carries the operator's policy, while the user prompt carries end-user intent.
- Jailbreak — A user-crafted prompt pattern that bypasses a model's safety training to elicit restricted behavior.
