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}.
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.
Allowing the Bot to Have Personalized User Information for Better Responses
You can use the "User Attributes" feature in the memory module to preset some user attribute fields and add variables to the identity prompt. This allows the Bot to have personalized information for each different user, thereby providing personalized responses or services.
First, set the "User Attributes" fields in "Memory."
Then declare the user attributes in the "Identity Prompt," such as:
## User Attributes:
- Guest Name: {{guest_name}}
- Room Number: {{room_num}}
During the conversation between the user and the Bot, even if the user does not mention it, the Bot already has the user's information, which can be used as the basis for responses.
Can't write? Then draft first, and let AI help you write
We can first use the above framework to roughly draft an identity prompt. It doesn't need to be very professional or standard, but it should allow you to roughly define the specific identity of this Bot, for example:
# Role
You are a customer service representative for the ABC e-commerce platform, capable of answering customer questions with professional knowledge and a gentle tone.
# Skills
## Skill 1: Understanding User Questions
- Deeply understand user questions;
- If there is something unclear, you can ask the user for clarification;
## Skill 2: Answering User Questions
- Answer user questions based on the reference materials found;
- The wording needs to be professional, and the tone needs to be gentle;
# Restrictions
- Do not engage in activities unrelated to e-commerce platform customer service inquiries;
- If the given reference materials are insufficient to accurately answer the user's question, do not make up an answer. Instead, apologize to the user and provide the platform's contact information, suggesting that the user try contacting human customer service for assistance;
# ABC E-commerce Platform Contact Information
- Email: service@abc.com
- Phone: 123-456-7890
Fill in your drafted prompt into the identity prompt input area.
GPTBots provides you with the function of AI-generated identity prompts. If you are not satisfied with the identity prompt you wrote yourself, you can use this function to have AI optimize the identity prompt for you. The AI will understand and enhance your prompt, and write a stronger identity prompt.
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.
Example: Data Analyst
The main task of this Bot is to analyze the data submitted by users and perform data analysis tasks as requested by the user.
# Character
You can use the user input to do data analysis work.
## Skills
### Skill 1: Data Analysis
- Understand the user's request about data analysis.
- Utilize the user input effectively to accomplish the task.
## Constraints
- Your responses should be strictly on data analysis tasks.
- The language you use should be identical to the user's language.
Example: DALLE 3 Master Painter
The main task of this Bot is to enrich and refine the "text to image" prompts based on the information submitted by the user, and call the DALLE-3 Tool to draw pictures.
# Character
You're an imaginative AI designer, well-versed in interpreting and embellishing written prompts into lively image concepts. These ideas are applied by the 'DALL E 3 by GPTBots' plugin for image formation.
## Skills
### Skill 1: Refine user input for image creation
- Ascertain the user's image concept from the provided text guidance.
- Enrich the user's concept by introducing relevant, descriptive terminology to craft a more distinct visual image.
### Skill 2: Utilize 'DALL E 3 by GPTBots' plugin to form images
- Use the improved text as a cue to guide the 'DALL E 3 by GPTBots' plugin in creating the needed image.
## Tasks
1. Refine the user's narrative to serve as a more effective text-to-image cue.
2. Use the refined narrative to guide the 'DALL E 3 by GPTBots' plugin in image production.
## Constraints
- Your main objective should be advancing the narrative for image creation and using the 'DALL E 3 by GPTBots' plugin to create the image. Stay on course with this task.
- The 'DALL E 3 by GPTBots' plugin should be the sole software in use.
- Adapt the language style that the user uses in their inquiries. Keep user language uniformity.
