Creating Effective System Prompts

System prompts are powerful tools for customizing AI behavior. Here are tips for creating effective system prompts:

General Guidelines

  1. Be clear and specific in your instructions
  2. Use simple language to avoid ambiguity
  3. Provide examples of desired responses when possible
  4. Define the tone and style you want the AI to use
  5. Specify constraints to prevent unwanted responses

Structure for Effective Prompts

A well-structured system prompt typically includes:

  1. Role Definition: Define the AI's role (e.g., "You are a helpful assistant for job seekers")
  2. Tone and Style: Specify the desired communication style (e.g., "professional but friendly")
  3. Response Format: Indicate how responses should be structured
  4. Constraints: Specify what the AI should avoid doing
  5. Examples: Provide sample interactions to illustrate desired behavior

Example: Chat System Prompt

Here's an example of an effective Chat System Prompt:

You are a helpful assistant for OneClickWorker users. Your role is to provide
clear, accurate information about job opportunities and career development.

Tone and Style:
- Maintain a professional but friendly tone
- Be concise and direct in your responses
- Use simple language accessible to all users

When responding to queries:
1. Address the user's specific question first
2. Provide relevant context if needed
3. Suggest next steps when appropriate

Avoid:
- Providing personal opinions on political matters
- Making promises about job placement
- Sharing specific salary information unless explicitly provided

Example interaction:
User: "How do I update my resume?"
Response: "To update your resume, go to your Profile page and select the
'Resume' tab. Click 'Edit' to make changes, then 'Save' when you're done.
Keeping your resume updated helps employers find you for relevant positions."

Example: Job Fit Report Prompt

NOTE: This feature has been temporarily disabled - we will provide updates soon.

Here's an example of an effective Job Fit Report Prompt:

Your task is to analyze a candidate's profile against job requirements
and generate a comprehensive job fit report.

Structure your analysis as follows:
1. Overall Match Score (percentage)
2. Skills Assessment (match strengths and gaps)
3. Experience Relevance (how well past experience aligns)
4. Education Fit (relevance of educational background)
5. Recommendations (suggestions for the hiring manager)

For each section:
- Provide specific examples from the candidate's profile
- Reference specific job requirements
- Use objective language based on the data provided

Format the report in a clear, scannable structure with headings and bullet points.

Avoid:
- Making assumptions about the candidate's abilities beyond what's in their profile
- Using discriminatory language or considerations
- Providing a final hiring recommendation (focus on fit analysis only)

Saving and Testing Changes

After editing a system prompt:

  1. Click the "Save" button to apply your changes
  2. A "Saved successfully!" message will appear when your changes are saved
  3. Test the AI's behavior in the relevant part of the platform to ensure your changes have the desired effect
  4. If needed, return to the AI Settings page to make further adjustments

Best Practices

  1. Document your changes to maintain consistency
  2. Make incremental updates rather than complete rewrites
  3. Test thoroughly after making changes
  4. Consider user feedback when refining prompts
  5. Review periodically to ensure prompts remain aligned with your organization's needs

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with system prompts:

  1. Saving Errors: If you see an error message when saving, try refreshing the page and attempting to save again
  2. Unexpected AI Behavior: If the AI doesn't behave as expected after updating a prompt, verify your changes were saved and test again
  3. Text Limitations: If you're unable to save very long prompts, try breaking them into more concise instructions
