Technically "be" is correct. Given it's hard to read this sentence, probably best to rephrase as "the automated prompt SHOULD be minimally..."

Edit: This was bothering me (to explain why it should be "be" not "is"), so I checked. So sentences that start with "it is recommended that" use the mandative subjunctive form of the verb, which means the same as the basic imperative form ("to be"), not the present tense ("is"). So:

  • "It is recommended that he be quiet", not "It is recommended that he is quiet"
  • "It is recommended that she try to eat", not "It is recommended that she tries to eat"

But anyway, I'm just throwing this up as a strawman proposal. I don't intend to commit this in its current form. Just collecting feedback on the proposal.

I’m good with this change, especially given our move to make BIP optional.

I think this sounds good and, despite it’s age, does not seem out of alignment with our changes to BIP.

Whoa, I forgot about this. Shall we move forward on it? It looks like this resolves the BIP-is-optional thing.

I want to review it properly since it's more than a year old and I had previously written "I'm just throwing this up as a strawman proposal. I don't intend to commit this in its current form."
