01

A useful answer needs a brief.

The system prompt lets you describe the task, tone and boundaries you want the model to follow.

02

Be specific about the result.

Suggested instruction: “Explain unfamiliar terms. Use short paragraphs. Say when information is missing.”

03

A prompt guides. You still judge.

Try your instruction on a short task. Review the result and refine the brief when needed.

Can a system prompt guarantee a correct answer?

No. Instructions can guide a model, but they do not guarantee factual accuracy. Check important details and refine the brief based on the response.
