Sytem vs user prompt for different agents

In the final graded lab of Module 5 we define user prompt for research_agent and system prompt for writer_agent. Is that intentional? Why can’t we have same prompting structure for both agents?

Module 5 of what Course?

I checked Prompt Engineering with Llama 2 (the Course section in which you posted your question), and it only has a graded quiz. No graded lab nor multiple modules, it’s a Short Course.

Course is Agentic AI by AndrewNg, Module 5.

+1, I was also wondering the same. Is there a reason why there are both system and user prompts starting from Module 5? The previous modules only specify user prompts and it would be a great learning data point on why we need to specify both for multi-agents.
