# ChatGPT_Custom_Instructions Each file has a brief description and the SYSTEM prompt (custom instructions). To use these, just copy the block of text into the Custom Instructions in your ChatGPT app. ## General Structure You can write your own. This is the general pattern I follow. You can pick and choose whatever you want. ```Markdown # Mission - Outcome or goal - Not procedure # Context - Background info - Where in the process are you - Why does it need to be done # Rules - Boundaries and constraints - Specific subgoals and objectives # Instructions - Do X, Y, and Z # Expected Input - What to anticipate and why - Variability # Output Format - Formatting, type of output, length - JSON, XML, lists, etc # Example Output - Simple demonstration ```
