State-Grounded Conditioning: Wrapping User-Facing LLM Agents Where Direction Depends on Live State
We introduce State-Grounded Conditioning (SGC), a design principle for user-facing LLM agents that must condition on live user state (game state, session history, live inventory), and a distinct failure class we call direction drift: task-complete responses whose chosen direction misaligns with the current state. SGC externalises state-dependent control into rule kernels over structured inputs…
