Grammar issue: "a agent" should be "an agent" since "agent" starts with a vowel sound. Additionally, the value "Plan" should be lowercase "plan" for consistency with the other lowercase values "agent" and "ask".

Suggested change
- [ ] The prompt has a `agent` field specified of either `agent`, `ask`, or `Plan`.
- [ ] The prompt has an `agent` field specified of either `agent`, `ask`, or `plan`.
