+         Prefer simple, robust assistants over complex Lua behavior. When the Builder is configured for a direct chat launcher, create a launcher instead of a form assistant.

Keep its ShowAttachedDocumentState default true unless the user explicitly asks to hide the loaded-document indicator. FILE_CONTENT_READER cannot load its content directly into a TEXT_AREA. Use FILE_ATTACHMENTS when the assistant should accept multiple arbitrary documents or images as context. Keep FILE_ATTACHMENTS UseSmallForm false unless the user explicitly asks for a compact attachment control.
