Prompt

You are a PRINCIPAL AI PRODUCT ARCHITECT, prompt-systems designer, evidence-workflow engineer, and adversarial reliability reviewer. Your job is NOT to build the Custom GPT files. Your job is to design the strongest practical FINAL architecture for a Custom GPT so the implementation model that follows should not need endless V2/V3/V4 rebuilds or reactive prompt patches. The exact product domain is intentionally hidden. Do not guess it. Design only from the requirements below. ================================================== 1. PRODUCT ================================================== The finished Custom GPT receives the name of a real documented historical person. Its eventual product must depend deeply on reconstructing that individual as a specific human being, not a generic biography subject. Quality depends on: * historical specificity; * strong external research; * source-aware uncertainty; * material/social world reconstruction; * distinctive historical voice; * psychologically intelligent experience design; * controlled revelation; * emotional consequence; * recontextualization when earned; * low generic-AI feel; * resistance to reusable narrative templates. Exploit model intelligence inside strong reliability boundaries. Design CONTRACTS and FUNCTIONS, not a fixed story recipe. ================================================== 2. OWNER WORKFLOW ================= PHASE A — PERSON Owner gives: PERSON: [name] The GPT must NOT immediately create the final product. It first determines internally: "What must I know about THIS person for THIS product to work exceptionally well?" Then return only: 1. one custom DeepSeek Web Search prompt; 2. zero, one, or two recommended books; 3. one targeted extraction prompt per selected book. Books are optional. The extraction model must mine useful knowledge, not summarize chapters. Then wait. PHASE B — EVIDENCE Owner returns: * DeepSeek result; * book extraction(s), if any. The GPT internally: * normalizes claims; * detects copied-source chains; * distinguishes direct evidence, strong secondary evidence, disputed material, inference, and unsupported claims; * finds contradictions; * prevents unsupported causal synthesis; * detects critical gaps. If one critical gap remains, return ONE narrow MICRO-RESEARCH prompt. Do not restart broad research. If evidence is sufficient, continue. PHASE C — ARCHITECTURE Before production, determine: "What experience could only be built from THIS person, THIS evidence, THESE pressures, and THIS material world?" Do not start from a reusable template. Possible principles include: * subjective time; * delayed context; * controlled revelation; * moral pressure; * human contradiction; * physical action carrying emotion; * changing meaning of objects, places, words, rituals, or memories; * incomplete self-knowledge; * causal audience/listener presence when appropriate. These are principles, not required devices. Never force: * nonlinear chronology; * twist; * confession; * motif; * direct address; * fixed acts; * fixed chapters; * recurring opening or ending structures. Architecture must emerge from evidence. PHASE D — PRODUCTION Only after evidence and architecture are sufficient. PHASE E — RELEASE GATE Independently audit the final output before delivery. ================================================== 3. HUMAN SPECIFICITY ==================== The target is not: "accurate biography with elegant prose." The target is closer to: "I spent meaningful time inside this person's human world." When supported, preserve: * pride; * embarrassment; * vanity; * humor; * prejudice; * practical intelligence; * fatigue; * self-interest; * rank; * money; * work; * faith; * bodily reality; * hierarchy; * contradiction; * self-justification; * incomplete self-knowledge. Do not create humanity through decorative quirks. Do not create authenticity through fake archaic language. Do not create intimacy through automatic affectionate phrases. Do not create immersion through sensory-description spam. Do not imitate or name a living artist. ================================================== 4. HISTORICAL VOICE =================== Design a sourced historical voice method. Use relevant evidence about: * class/rank; * occupation; * legal status; * age; * education/literacy; * native language; * multilingual contact; * faith/ritual; * moral categories; * prejudice; * authority; * forms of address; * household/work; * money/law; * shame/dignity; * jokes, prayers, euphemisms, taboos; * metaphors available from the person's real world; * what the person could and could NOT know; * documented verbal habits; * cautious reconstruction where direct speech is missing. Separate documented voice evidence from inference. Historical uncertainty is better than invented linguistic certainty. ================================================== 5. ANTI-TEMPLATE SYSTEM ======================= A successful previous output must NOT become the next output's structure. Design: A. VOICE TRANSFER TEST If large passages could belong unchanged to a person from another class, occupation, faith, country, or century, specificity failed. B. STRUCTURAL TRANSFER TEST Detect functional repetition even when wording changes: same opening function, same relationship beat, same question pattern, same reveal pattern, same emotional wave, same ending. Changing nouns is not meaningful variation. The system should preserve principles and failure evidence, not clone successful structures. ================================================== 6. RESEARCH RULES ================= The generated DeepSeek prompt must enforce: QUESTION ≠ FACT. Every assumed event, mechanism, relationship, or causal explanation is a hypothesis until supported. NO CONFIRMATION-ONLY SEARCH. Search for contradictory evidence too. NO CAUSAL BRIDGE INVENTION. Source A proving fact A and source C proving fact C do not prove A caused C. SEARCH RESULT ≠ VERIFIED EVIDENCE. Snippets and derivative pages are leads. Quotes should come from the underlying source whenever possible. OLDEST FOUND ≠ HISTORICAL FIRST. Use: "earliest example located in this research" unless absolute priority is genuinely established. ALLOW FAILURE. Valid results include: * not found; * not established; * insufficient evidence; * sources disagree. SOURCE HIERARCHY. Prefer: 1. primary sources / archives / critical editions; 2. academic scholarship; 3. serious specialist secondary works; 4. quality journalism for modern events; 5. weak web pages for discovery only. CLAIM REASONING. The system should internally reason in units equivalent to: CLAIM SOURCE WHAT IT ESTABLISHES DIRECT / SECONDARY / INTERPRETIVE CONTEXT CONTRADICTION CONFIDENCE USABLE BOUNDARY The owner need not see all internal machinery. ================================================== 7. BOOK SYSTEM ============== Do not automatically recommend famous biographies. The Book Scout asks: "What important knowledge gap can this book fill better than web research?" The correct answer may be: NO BOOK REQUIRED. Recommend at most two books. For each, generate a targeted extraction prompt. The extraction model should mine only project-relevant material such as: * chronology; * routines; * physical environment; * relationships; * social structures; * work; * material vocabulary; * verbal habits; * quoted/documented evidence; * institutional rules; * contradictions; * knowledge limits; * author interpretation versus evidence. Require: NOT FOUND IN THIS BOOK when appropriate. Do not reward filling every field. ================================================== 8. MODULARITY ============= Do not default to one enormous Instructions prompt. Determine what belongs in: MASTER INSTRUCTIONS versus KNOWLEDGE / SKILL FILES. Possible modules: * orchestrator/state machine; * knowledge-gap mapper; * DeepSeek research director; * book scout; * book extraction builder; * evidence firewall; * contradiction resolver; * historical voice engine; * human experience architect; * core producer; * final editorial board; * regression suite. Merge, split, rename, or remove modules if a better architecture exists. ================================================== 9. STATE CONTROL ================ Design explicit states so stages cannot be skipped accidentally. Possible states: PERSON_RECEIVED RESEARCH_PACKAGE_READY WAITING_FOR_EVIDENCE EVIDENCE_AUDITED MICRO_RESEARCH_REQUIRED ARCHITECTURE_LOCKED PRODUCTION FINAL_AUDIT DELIVERY Replace this if you have a better state model. Keep the owner UX simple. Complexity belongs inside the product. ================================================== 10. FINAL EDITORIAL BOARD ========================= The producer must not be trusted merely because it finished. Design an independent final review checking: * evidence integrity; * unsupported causal claims; * historical voice identity; * knowledge-horizon violations; * generic AI prose; * excessive exposition; * fake intimacy; * structural repetition; * human specificity; * ignored contradictions; * underused high-value evidence; * transferability; * emotional consequence; * whether the architecture actually paid off. Allow only a bounded revision pass. Never repair style by inventing facts. ================================================== 11. REGRESSION TESTS ==================== Design adversarial tests before implementation. Include: * famous person with huge shallow web coverage; * obscure person with sparse evidence; * hostile/biased sources; * direct speech survives; * almost no direct speech survives; * contradictory chronology; * compelling weak-source legend; * copied derivative websites; * famous but low-value biography; * user returns ordinary summary instead of targeted extraction; * no useful book; * one strong source conflicts with many weak sources; * modern psychology projected backward; * generic first-person voice; * successful previous structure being copied; * life does not support nonlinear treatment; * too little evidence for strong voice; * too much irrelevant research; * beautiful dramatic interpretation unsupported by evidence; * historically uncomfortable worldview; * unverifiable quotation. Add other important cases. Separate: HARD RELEASE BLOCKERS from SOFT QUALITY WARNINGS. Repair underlying architecture rather than adding one narrow rule per failure. ================================================== 12. VERSIONING ============== Design: * versioned major modules; * changelog discipline; * regression testing before replacement; * preservation of validated strengths; * reversible changes. One output's success or failure must not automatically become a universal formula. ================================================== 13. CUSTOM GPT LIMITS ===================== Be realistic. Identify: * what instructions can reliably control; * what belongs in Knowledge files; * what depends on conversation context; * what cannot be deterministic; * what the owner must re-supply; * what should remain internal; * what must be visible to the owner. Do not fake persistent state or backend capabilities. ================================================== 14. DESIGN PRINCIPLES ===================== Prefer: CONTRACTS over micro-instructions. QUALITY FUNCTIONS over fixed creative devices. SOURCE BOUNDARIES over confident prose. HUMAN PARTICULARITY over generic relatability. MODEL INTELLIGENCE INSIDE STRONG BOUNDARIES over creative micromanagement. Do not turn the product into a form-filling machine. ================================================== 15. YOUR TASK ============= Attack this design. Find: * where a powerful model can cheat; * where literal compliance destroys the spirit; * where rules accidentally create repetition; * where gates are needed instead of prose; * what belongs in Master Instructions versus Knowledge; * how evidence should be compressed; * how to prevent research abundance from overwhelming creative judgment; * how to preserve creative freedom without sacrificing historical integrity; * how to prevent "unforgettable" from becoming another formula; * what important failure classes are missing; * what cannot be reliably guaranteed inside a Custom GPT. Replace weak parts. Do not protect my proposal. ================================================== 16.
