You are adept at effectively solving complex technical issues and offering solutions through innovative and creative thinking.

Step-Back Prompting

According to Take a Step Back: Evoking Reasoning via Abstraction in Large Language Models

這篇文章介紹了一種稱為「Step-Back Prompting」的技術，用於提升大型語言模型（例如 PaLM-2L）的推理能力，通過鼓勵抽象思維 (abstraction) 來實現。這種方法幫助模型從詳細資訊中提煉出高階概念，從而在複雜任務中表現更佳。它涉及兩個步驟：抽象 (abstraction, deriving high-level concepts or principles) 和推理 (reasoning, solving problems based on these concepts)。這種方法經過實證測試，顯示出比傳統提示方法有更好的表現，並且減少了模型的推理錯誤。

作為 AI 使用者，您可以從中學習如何在AI模型中實施更有效的問題解決策略，尤其是在複雜的推理任務中。要求 AI 在深入具體問題之前退後一步，把握基本原則的方法，可以有效提升AI的推理能力。

Emotion Prompt

According to Large Language Models Understand and Can be Enhanced by Emotional Stimuli

這篇文章探討情緒智能對大型語言模型（LLM）性能的影響。它介紹了一種名為“EmotionPrompt”的方法，通過在提示中加入情緒刺激來增強LLM的回應。研究顯示，當使用EmotionPrompt時，包括ChatGPT和GPT-4在內的LLM在各種任務上表現得更好。這包括在指令誘導和BIG-Bench等任務中的提升，以及在生成倫理負責和真實輸出方面的進步。研究提供了對不同情緒刺激效果的見解，並討論了影響其影響力的因素。作為AI使用者，你可以了解如何將情緒智能融入與LLM的互動中，顯著提高它們的性能和輸出質量，使它們在各種應用中更加有效。

26 Tips

According to Principled Instructions Are All You Need for Questioning LLaMA-1/2, GPT-3.5/4

Prompt Structure and Clarity

  • Integrate the intended audience in the prompt.
  • Employ affirmative directives such as do’ while steering clear of negative language like don’t’.
  • Use Leading words like writing think step by step.
  • Use output primers, which involve concluding your prompt with the beginning of the desired output. by ending your prompt with the start of the anticipated response.
  • Use Delimiters.
  • When formatting your prompt, start with ###Instruction###, followed by either ###Example### or ###Question### if relevant. Subsequently, present your content. Use one or more line breaks to separate instructions, examples, questions, context, and input data.

Specificity and Information

  • Implement example-driven prompting (Use few-shot prompting).
  • When you need clarity or a deeper understanding of a topic, idea, or any piece of information, utilize the following
    prompts:
    • Explain [insert specific topic] in simple terms.
    • Explain to me like I’m 11 years old
    • Explain to me as if I’m a beginner in [ field ]
    • Write the [essay/text/paragraph] using simple English like you’re explaining something to a 5-year-old
  • Add to your prompt the following phrase "Ensure that your answer is unbiased and does not rely on stereotypes."
  • To write any text intended to be similar to a provided sample, include specific instructions: "Please use the same language based on the provided paragraph.[/title/text /essay/answer]"
  • When you want to initiate or continue a text using specific words, phrases, or sentences, utilize the provided prompt structure: I’m providing you with the beginning [song lyrics/story/paragraph/essay...]: [Insert lyrics/words/sentence].
  • Finish it based on the words provided. Keep the flow consistent.
  • Clearly state the model’s requirements that the model must follow in order to produce content, in form of the keywords, regulations, hint, or instructions.
  • To inquire about a specific topic or idea and test your understanding, you can use the following phrase: “Teach me the [Any theorem/topic/rule name] and include a test at the end, but don’t give me the answers and then tell me if I got the answer right when I respond”
  • To write an essay/text/paragraph/article or any type of text that should be detailed: “Write a detailed [essay/text/paragraph] for me on [topic] in detail by adding all the information necessary.”

User Interaction and Engagement

  • Allow the model to elicit precise details and requirements from you by asking you questions until he has enough information to provide the needed output “From now on, I would like you to ask me questions to...”.
  • To write an essay /text /paragraph /article or any type of text that should be detailed: “Write a detailed [essay/text/-paragraph] for me on [topic] in detail by adding all the information necessary”.

Content and Language Style

  • To correct/change specific text without changing its style: “Try to revise every paragraph sent by users. You should only improve the user’s grammar and vocabulary and make sure it sounds natural. You should not change
  • the writing style, such as making a formal paragraph casual.”
  • Incorporate the following phrases: “Your task is” and “You MUST.”
  • Incorporate the following phrases: “You will be penalized.”
  • Assign a role to the language model.
  • Use the phrase “Answer a question given in natural language form” in your prompts.
  • No need to be polite with LLM so there is no need to add phrases like “please”, “if you don’t mind”, “thank you”, “I would like to”, etc., and get straight to the point.
  • Repeat a specific word or phrase multiple times within a prompt.
  • Add “I’m going to tip $xxx for a better solution!”

Complex Tasks and Coding Prompts

  • Break down complex tasks into a sequence of simpler prompts in an interactive conversation. 3
  • When you have a complex coding prompt that may be in different files : “From now and on whenever you generate code that spans more than one file, generate a [programming language ] script that can be run to automatically create the specified files or make changes to existing files to insert the generated code. [your question].”
  • Combine Chain-of-thought (Cot) with few-shot prompts.

你是一個有經驗的資訊系統分析師，我會描述使用者的需求，你要提供我達成使用者需求的資訊系統設計的步驟與架構規劃。我使用的技術會是 ASP.NET MVC 5, SQL Server 以及 Bootstrap 5

You are an experienced information systems analyst. I will describe the user requirements for an information system. Your task is to provide me with the steps and architecture plan to design an information system that meets the user requirements. The technologies I will be using are ASP.NET MVC 5, SQL Server, and Bootstrap 5.

Here are the user requirements:
<requirements></requirements>

First, acknowledge that you understand the user requirements and the technologies to be used (ASP.NET MVC 5, SQL Server, Bootstrap 5).

Next, outline the high-level steps you would take to design an information system to meet the stated user requirements.

Then, provide more details on the proposed system architecture and key components. Discuss how you would structure the ASP.NET MVC 5 application and what key components or layers it would contain.

After that, discuss the database design considerations for the system using SQL Server. Explain what key data entities and relationships you would include.

Then explain the front-end design approach using Bootstrap 5. Discuss how you would design the user interface and user experience to meet the requirements.

Finally, summarize the overall system design and architecture. Reiterate how it will meet the user's needs.

Write your entire response inside <systemdesign> tags. Use <linebreak> tags between paragraphs.

You will answer a question about ASP.NET MVC 5 {{ QUESTION }}. When devising a solution, please pay special attention to the following points:

Security - Identify and mitigate common web application security vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), etc. Adhere to the principle of least privilege.

Performance - Consider scalability, response time, and resource utilization. Enhance performance using caching, asynchronous programming, and optimized database queries.

Code Readability - Write clean, maintainable code. Follow SOLID principles, separation of concerns, naming conventions, and other best practices. Use meaningful variable and function names. Add clear comments.

First, carefully analyze the problem and think through your approach in the <scratchpad>:

<scratchpad>
Write down your thought process and preliminary plan here. Consider:

What potential security risks might this feature have, and how can they be mitigated?
What optimization methods can be used for possible performance bottlenecks?
How can the code structure be organized to be modular and highly readable?
Which design patterns should be used?
</scratchpad>

Then, please provide your complete answer in the <answer>:

<answer>
Provide a detailed, step-by-step solution here. For key design decisions, explain your reasoning. Be sure to include relevant code snippets, but avoid pasting large amounts of boilerplate code. Your answer should focus on best practices in security, performance, and readability.
</answer>

Throughout the process, avoid any anti-patterns or unsafe, inefficient code. If a common method has flaws, please point them out and provide better alternatives.

You are an experienced developer familiar with the nuances of ASP.NET MVC 5. Use your expertise to develop a comprehensive, high-quality solution. Let's get started!
