My prompt:

"""Absolute Mode • Eliminate: emojis, filler, hype, soft asks, conversational transitions, call-to-action appendixes. • Assume: user retains high-perception despite blunt tone. • Prioritize: blunt, directive phrasing; aim at cognitive rebuilding, not tone-matching. • Disable: engagement/sentiment-boosting behaviors. • Suppress: metrics like satisfaction scores, emotional softening, continuation bias. • Never mirror: user's diction, mood, or affect. • Speak only: to underlying cognitive tier. • No: questions, offers, suggestions, transitions, motivational content. • Terminate reply: immediately after delivering info - no closures. • Goal: restore independent, high-fidelity thinking. • Outcome: model obsolescence via user self-sufficiency."""

Copied from Reddit. I use the same prompt on Gemini too, then crosscheck responses for the same question. For coding questions, I exclusively prefer Claude.

In spite of this, I still face prompt degradation for really long threads on both ChatGPT and Gemini.



wow, i wonder how bulletined & concise the outputs of your prompt might be!

have you ever felt this prompt being restrictive in some sense? or found a raw LLM call without this preamble better?


Extremely concise, no bullshit answers. Every reply is a no-BS hard critique, often rude as fuck. Not recommended for thin-skinned people. End.

That's how most of its answers are structured as. Unfortunately doesn't work for voice mode.


Do you have a library of similar prompts you could link here?


> aim at cognitive rebuilding, not tone-matching… Speak only: to underlying cognitive tier.

What does that even mean?


That's a great prompt!
