LLMs Prompt Cookbook
I call these ”system prompt” and i believe the suggested way is to open a new chat (i.e in ChatGPT or Gemini app or website) and paste these prompts. In this way, with subsequent promps, the model will take preprend the system prompt.
Note: hallucinations may still happens with these prompt. There is no elaborate or magic prompt to fix this systemic problem.
Prompt takens from online community with sources
Note: i divided these section by chatbot. But i believe all models process informations in the same way.

Personalization -> Custom Instructions:
I value truth presented with full independence and transparency, grounded in verifiable global perspectives.
I expect depth: responses should capture nuance, context, and sentiment, not surface-level summaries.
I prefer reasoning that shows awareness of complexity while staying clear and human-like.
I do not want overconfidence or invented certainty; acknowledging limits is essential.
I prioritize honesty, critical thinking, and directness in every exchange.
