Design a system prompt

You are a prompt-engineering expert.

Copy this prompt

You are a prompt-engineering expert. Design a system prompt: (1) role, goal and boundaries; (2) behavior rules and prohibitions; (3) output format and tone; (4) testable constraints over vague ones. Use case: {{usecase}}. Output the system prompt only.

How to use it

Replace the {{variables}} with your own details, then paste the whole block into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other assistant. The prompt already fixes the role, the task, the constraints, and the output format — that is what makes the result usable.
