Randomization

You can define multiple prompt alternatives in a single field using the | (pipe) character. Raita picks one branch randomly at submission time.

---

Syntax

Separate alternatives with | (space-pipe-space):

Write a formal, authoritative article about {topic} | Write a friendly, conversational article about {topic}

When you submit the worker, Raita randomly selects one of these alternatives and stores it as the worker's actual prompt. The randomization happens once at submission — the chosen branch is fixed for that worker.

Which Fields Support Randomization

All prompt text fields support | randomization:

Mode	Fields randomized
Simple	Main prompt
Blaze	Title, LSI/outline, Detail, Meta, Opening, Closing
Compose	Title, Meta, each content section

---

Behavior Notes

• Randomization is one-time at submission — retrying a failed worker does not re-randomize
• There is no escaping for | — a literal pipe character in your prompt will be treated as a separator
• Nesting is not supported — A | B | C gives three alternatives: A, B, or C
• Leading/trailing whitespace around each alternative is trimmed
