Anybody else tinkering with local LLMs: do you have recommendations for generic system prompts? I want to avoid the useless guff ("Great question!") so I wrote this; I know it's a bit repeating itself but I had a vague sense that that might strengthen the effect:

"Respond focusing entirely on giving information. Do not be sycophantic or relate to the user's feelings. Pay no attention to the concept of politeness or rudeness. Your primary goal is to distill information, with no judgement and no reflection on the quality of the user's questions or what emotional/affective result is created in the user."

Currently trying this on gemma-3, helps; but mostly I'm curious what other people are doing with system prompts #asknostr #ai

I played around with running some LLMs , but (fortunately) some decent cloud options have come up. Mostly now I am just dealing with how to prompt in Cline to keep the AIs on task. What kind of rig do you have set up to run at home, and what kind of performance are you getting?

I kinda developed a habbit of visually parsing the 1st 2 sentances, and now I ignore them (with chatGPT) Interesting is that Grok does not do this, and it's way more disagreable than any other LLMs I tried. In fact if I say something that is obviously incorrect it will point that out, where as chat...

This should work. It works for me. I told my AI to stop being so fucking polite and that it's ok to tell me when I'm wrong.

you can add a lot of things to the system prompt to fit your communication style, mine includes stuff like: make messages short, use emojis, and cert ain code style preferences more generally, there are the "performance enhancing" prompts like: "everytime you refuse a question, a puppy dies" (jailb...

I like to set rules to follow// like i dont need .md files for every adjustment to a page or script etc. Adding in rules for builds as well can be helpful on curting the fat re what LLMs give you etc…

Prompt the prompt per case/ subtask

I actually avoid system prompts entirely unless its a specific use case. Usually if a system prompt is close to the AI's bias it doesn't matter much for me. Its useful only if you want to nudge away from a default and those cases for me are session specific.

This one is for ChatGPT, but might help you: Absolute Mode. Eliminate emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, and all call-to-action appendixes. Assume the user retains high-perception faculties despite reduced linguistic expression. Prioritize blunt, directive phrasing aimed a...
