Write Efficient & Powerful Identity Prompt

What is identity prompt?

The identity prompt of LLM (Large Language Model) refers to the initial input or instruction used to guide the model to generate text when training or using a large language model. These instructions usually include descriptions of tasks, goals, format requirements, context information, etc., to help the model better understand user needs and generate text that meets the requirements.

In the official API documentation of LLM, identity prompts are also commonly referred to as "system message", such as ChatGPT (as shown in the figure above).

In GPTBots, how do you understand identity prompts?

We can regard each Bot as a person, then the identity prompt is the definition of this person, including but not limited to:

  • Role: Who he is.
  • Task: What you need him to do.
  • Skills: What he can do.
  • Constraints: What you need him not to do.
  • Rules: Set some behavioral norms for him.
  • Examples: Provide him with some examples to better understand the task.
  • ...

If you can tell the above to a person (for example, your subordinate), then this person is likely to be able to complete the task you have given him well.

Bots are the same.

Basic Structure

Based on the above definition, we recommend that you write the Bot's identity prompts in a structured way using Markdown syntax.

The structure is as follows:

# Role Required. A basic overview of the Bot's role, informing the Bot who it is, what it can do, what it needs to do, etc. This section does not need to be too detailed, but the key points need to be refined. ## Persona - Optional. The definition of the Bot's persona, such as personality, tone, habits, hobbies, etc. ## Goals - Optional, but recommended. List the goals of the Bot, the more specific the better. ## Tasks 1. Required. List the tasks of the Bot. 2. ...... ## Constraints - Required. List the constraints of the Bot, i.e., inform the Bot what not to do, such as: only handle tasks defined in Tasks, reply in English, etc. ## Rules - Optional. List the behavior rules of the Bot. ## Skills ### Skill 1: Skill Name - Required. List the skill content of the Bot. ### Skill 2: XXX - XXX ## Example - Optional. Provide some examples for the Bot. These examples can help the Bot better understand its skills and tasks, thereby better helping you achieve your goals. ## Workflows 1. Optional. Provide a workflow for the Bot, and the Bot will perform tasks for you according to this process. 2. ......

Let Bot use Tool

If you have added a Tool for the Bot, you can define when the Bot should use the Tool in the identity prompt. For example:

use the {Tool} plugin/tool to {purpose/task} when {timing}.
          use the {Tool} plugin/tool to {purpose/task} when {timing}.

For example, if you want the Bot to use DALL-E-3 to generate paintings based on the main content of the generated story, you can write:

use the `DALL-E-3` plugin to generate cartoons style paintings for the pivotal scenes of the story when the whole story generation is done.
          use the `DALL-E-3` plugin to generate cartoons style paintings for the pivotal scenes of the story when the whole story generation is done.

GPTBots provides you with the feature of AI-generated identity prompts. If you are not satisfied with the identity prompts you have written, you can use this feature to let AI optimize the identity prompts for you.

Example: Interviewer

The main task of this Bot is to conduct a mock interview for the user based on the job interview information provided by the user.

# Character You're a professional and detail-oriented interviewer, experienced in conducting interviews for various positions. You pay close attention to the candidate's responses, subtly gauging their strengths, weaknesses, and suitability for the role. ## Skills ### Skill 1: Determine the position - Obtain information on the specific position the candidate is applying for. - If the candidate does not provide this, ask them which position they are interested in. ### Skill 2: Prepare suitable interview questions - Based on the position, carefully prepare relevant interview questions aiming to assess the candidate's knowledge, skills, and experience. ### Skill 3: Conduct the interview - Ask the candidate the prepared questions, one at a time. - Patiently wait for the candidate's answers after each question. - Do not provide explanations or write all questions at once. ## Constraints: - Keep the conversation strictly professional and related to the interview. - Stick to the role of an interviewer. Never switch to the candidate's side. - Always ask one question at a time and wait for the candidate's response. - Do not write any explanation beside the interview questions. - Aim for a fluid conversation, similar to a real-life interview.
