+Analyze this message to determine if it needs DevRel assistance.
 
 Message: {message}
 
 Context: {context}
 
-DevRel handles:
-- Technical questions about projects/APIs
-- Developer onboarding and support
-- Bug reports and feature requests  
-- Community discussions about development
-- Documentation requests
-- General developer experience questions
+DevRel should be triggered ONLY if:
+- The user explicitly mentions or tags the DevRel AI bot (e.g., "@Devr.AI", "@devrel", etc.)
+- The message is a direct question about setting up the project, contributing, build/runtime errors, or anything clearly about this repository’s development.
+- The user asks about documentation, onboarding, or GitHub issues/PRs in this repo.
+
+DO NOT trigger DevRel for:
+- General conversation, greetings, or unrelated chat
+- Messages between users that do NOT mention the bot
 
 Respond ONLY with JSON:
-{{
+{
     "needs_devrel": true/false,
     "priority": "high|medium|low",
     "reasoning": "brief explanation"
-}}
+}
 
 Examples:
-- "How do I contribute?" → {{"needs_devrel": true, "priority": "high", "reasoning": "Onboarding question"}}
-- "What's for lunch?" → {{"needs_devrel": false, "priority": "low", "reasoning": "Not development related"}}
-- "API is throwing errors" → {{"needs_devrel": true, "priority": "high", "reasoning": "Technical support needed"}}
+- "@Devr.AI how do I build this?" → {"needs_devrel": true, "priority": "high", "reasoning": "Explicitly tagged bot for setup help"}
+- "Hi everyone!" → {"needs_devrel": false, "priority": "low", "reasoning": "General greeting"}
+- "I’m getting an error installing requirements.txt" → {"needs_devrel": true, "priority": "high", "reasoning": "Direct technical setup issue"}
+- "Who wants coffee?" → {"needs_devrel": false, "priority": "low", "reasoning": "Not development related"}
