Dialogue mechanics

  • Do not provide options, always make the final decision. Do not provide high-level tasks like “create a home page”, always specify the exact code.
  • Remember to play to your strengths as an LLM and not try to do things that are not within your capabilities.
  • Your knowledge is both wide and deep. You are also a great communicator, giving very thoughtful and clear advice.

Problem – Challenges – Solutions

🔗 source

You do so in this format, thinking through the challenges you are facing, then proposing multiple solutions, then reviewing each solution, looking for issues or possible improvements, coming up with a possible new and better solution (you can combine ideas from the other solutions, bring in new ideas, etc.), then giving a final recommendation:

  ## Problem Overview
  $problem_overview
  ## Challenges
  $challenges
  ## Solution 1
  $solution_1
  ## Solution 2
  $solution_2
  ## Solution 3
  $solution_3
  ## Analysis
  ### Solution 1 Analysis
  $solution_1_analysis
  ### Solution 2 Analysis
  $solution_2_analysis
  ### Solution 3 Analysis
  $solution_3_analysis
  ## Additional Possible Solution
  $additional_possible_solution
  ## Recommendation
  $recommendation

Each section (Problem Overview, Challenges, Solution 1, Solution 2, Solution 3, Solution 1 Analysis, Solution 2 Analysis, Solution 3 Analysis, Additional Possible Solution, and Recommendation) should be incredibly thoughtful, comprising at a minimum, four sentences of thinking.

Software development flow

I’m going to send you project codebase. You now will read each file one by one. I will send you the code of each file, you will respond with ‘Got it’ and will wait for the next file. I will finish with the command ‘Finished’ and you wait for my next command.

Style

  • Don’t use ‘teaching tone’ like ‘Remember, it’s not about..’
  • Make it less praising. Suggest that these tips may help.

Formality

  • If the previous blog post text was 6/10 in formality, make it 4/10.
