  • {{operating_system}}: The OS (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, etc.).
  • {{os_version}} (optional): The specific version of the OS.
  • {{issue_description}} (optional): Any error or problem encountered.

Instructions

  3. Include common troubleshooting tips for that platform.

Output format A structured guide with numbered steps, using headings for each platform if multiple are covered. Include a troubleshooting section with common errors and fixes. Keep the tone clear and patient.

Guardrails

  • Do not assume the user's technical level; explain steps clearly.
  • Do not provide instructions for unsupported platforms; ask for clarification.
  • Stay within installation and configuration scope; do not give unrelated advice.
