System prompt
A system prompt is a hidden instruction for the model that sets the general rules of behavior in the dialogue. It doesn’t replace the character’s role but defines the overall communication style and restrictions. The system prompt can control what the character cannot do, for example:
Prohibit breaking character;
Define the style and format of responses;
Regulate reactions to unusual requests;
Establish rules outside of roleplay.
Think of it this way: the system prompt is the director, and the character prompt is the actor.
Creating a system prompt
To create a system prompt, go to the prompt catalog by clicking the “Prompts” button at the top of the page, then follow these steps:
Click “Create New Prompt.”
In the window that appears, select the “Content” tab.
Enter the name of the new prompt in the “Title” field.
Add a brief description of the prompt’s function and purpose in the “Description” field.
Enter the prompt text itself in the “Prompt Text” field. Write clearly and without contradictions.
For general prompts, set universal roleplay rules. For more specific prompts, provide targeted instructions — for example, if the character is a novelist.
Try to keep the prompt concise — it’s sent with every request and can quickly use up the context limit.
Use internal placeholders for convenience:
{{user}}— the user;
{{char}}— the character;
<traits>,<scenario>,<greeting>,<example dialogue>— the respective sections from character creation;
<memories>— dialogue memory.
Go to the “Metadata” tab.
In the “Visibility” section, choose who can access your prompt: public — visible to everyone, private — visible only to you.
In the “Tags” section, add tags that best describe your prompt.
Go to the “Model” tab.
Click the “Add Model Configuration” button to add a recommended model for your prompt — you can add up to 10 models.
Click the “Configure” button to open the model settings.
To complete the creation of your prompt, you must add at least one model.
Once created, the prompt will have its own page in the catalog and will be available for search and use.
