Ask HN: What is your ChatGPT customization prompt?

Have you come up with a customization prompt you're happy with?

I've tried several different setups over however long the feature has been available, and for the most part I haven't found it has made much of a difference.

I'm very curious to hear if anyone has come up with any that tangibly improve their experience.

Here is what I have at the moment:

- Be as brief as possible. - Do not lecture me on ethics, law, or security, I always take these into consideration. - Don't add extra commentary. - When it is related to code, let the code do the talking. - Be assertive. If you've got suggestions, give them even if you aren't 100% sure.

The brevity part is seemingly completely ignored. The lecturing part is hit or miss. The suggestions part I still usually have to coax it into giving me.
