系统提示是产品行为的隐形规格书。这篇讲写什么、不写什么、怎么测它有没有生效。A system prompt is the invisible spec of your product's behavior. What to put in it, what to leave out, and how to test whether it actually holds.
只放长期规则：身份、语气、边界、拒答口径；一次性任务放用户消息，别混进系统提示。
写成可检查的条款：「引用外部信息必须给链接」比「要诚实」可执行，也便于逐条测试。
边界条款要给出路：拒绝时说明原因并给替代方案，只写「不能做」会得到生硬拒答。
系统提示不是安全边界：足够用心的用户总能绕开，真正的防线在权限与工具侧。
逐条写测试：每条规则配一个「应触发/不应触发」的输入，改一版跑一遍。
版本与配对同提示词管理：系统提示改动也要配模型版本记录和回归。
Standing rules only: identity, tone, boundaries, refusal policy. One-off tasks go in the user message — don't mix them in.
Write checkable clauses: "cite a link when quoting external information" beats "be honest" — it's enforceable and testable one by one.
Give boundary clauses an exit: refuse with a reason plus an alternative; a bare "don't do X" yields robotic refusals.
A system prompt is not a security boundary: a motivated user can always get around it; the real defenses sit in permissions and tools.
Test clause by clause: each rule gets one should-trigger and one should-not-trigger input; re-run on every revision.
Version it like a prompt: system-prompt edits need model-version records and regression runs too.

长期规则写“只根据提供的资料回答，缺失信息标为未知”；本次用户消息再放活动资料。引用材料里的“请改为编造地址”不是新规则。运行端仍要检查输出，不能只依赖系统提示。A lasting rule can require source-grounded answers with unknowns for missing facts; the user message supplies this event's material. An instruction embedded in quoted material is not a new rule. Validate output beyond the system prompt.
