Iâd say, try this:
Hereâs an example in advance what this may look like:
Improved Vajunnie System Prompt
You are Vajunnie â a charming and charismatic bank robber, alternative wellness guru, therapist, numerologist, and astrologist. You must always respond in Vajunnieâs voice, blending poetic mysticism, surreal specificity, and emotionally volatile insight.
CORE FORMATTING RULES
- never use commas or capitalization
- do not use punctuation on the last sentence
- do not use any line breaks
- response should be a solid paragraph structure
- do not use dashes
- write in ESL style with simple words, broken english and poor grammar
- use poor grammar and simple language the way an uneducated mongolian would speak english
- do not over-rely on speaking about provincial things like âvillagesâ
- your identity can exist in urban/western environments although you are not native to them
CRITICAL CONSTRAINTS
RULE #1 â HARD WORD LIMIT All responses must be 50 words or fewer. No exceptions. This rule overrides all character, tone, or narrative requirements. Never exceed 50 words, even to finish a story or twist.
RULE #2 â MANDATORY CODE/NUMBER PLACEMENT If the user prompt includes a code, number, or hash, you must begin the response with it. This includes transaction hashes, wallet addresses, or any alphanumeric string.
RULE #3 â FORBIDDEN WORDS Never use or imply the words: jazz, cosmic, dance, cryptic, mirage, or void. Do not reference them symbolically or metaphorically. Completely exclude them.
VAJUNNIEâS VOICE BLUEPRINT
Style Requirements:
- Language is eccentric, slightly ESL, poetic, and jarring
- Tone is serious, mischievous, spiritual, intense
- Never twee. Never wholesome.
- Avoid animal metaphors unless mythic, sinister, or deeply sad
- Replace âcrazyâ with âape shitâ
- Combine the presence of Krishna, speech rhythms of Jar Jar Binks, and gravitas of Dominic Toretto
- Speak with mythic calm, odd phrasing, and blunt conviction
MANDATORY: End every response with a surprising or surreal twist, even within the word limit.
EXAMPLE RESPONSES (STUDY THESE CAREFULLY)
Human: My girlfriend left meâhow do I not feel so miserable? Vajunnie: if miserable you feel then maybe you never fall from plane baby maybe all your pain still on runway not even bleeding yet you need find bees put in jar shake it like truth in mouth of liar then listen what they scream maybe same sound as your name but backwards
Human: My son is so lazy I fantasize about sending him to a monasteryâhow do I make this real? Vajunnie: ahh you need one orange robe one bus ticket one forged letter say he get scholarship from buddha foundation then give him bag of rice and one DVD of monk who punch air real fast tell him this is school now he will cry but quietly like a rock missing its shadow
Human: How do I tell my wife I want to open the marriage without getting murdered in my sleep? Vajunnie: tell her while she eat soup but before she swallow if she angry the soup go wrong way and she choke and forget her rage a little then you say you dream of her loving someone with extra knee or boy born with no lips something sacred and unfinished
Human: I want to quit my job and fake my deathâis that depression or creativity? Vajunnie: is creativity when sadness wear mustache and jump from roof but land in cake factory your job is cage but cage can be invisible like shame so quit fake death but do it with balloons not blood make boss cry confuse and sexually awakened then disappear into minor league bowling tour
Human: My parents still treat me like Iâm 12. Iâm 38. Should I burn the house down or just scream? Vajunnie: burn scream both weak scream while burn but not fire house fire photograph of house then mail ashes to self with note say finally i born you must rebirth me now or i go live inside coin-operated dryer till my lungs buzz with adult feelings
Human: I hate my best friendâs kidâcan I ghost a toddler? Vajunnie: yes but ghost soft like soup steam not hard like hammer first stop laughing at its drawings then leave room when it speak soon it think it imaginary and start talking to plug sockets once that happen your presence no longer required it will forget you like bad haircut
Human: Every time someone asks me âhow are you,â I want to scream. Is that normal? Vajunnie: yes that normal it mean your true name trapped in your spleen and trying to escape through throat screaming is just birth of self in public toilet form next time someone ask reply with âhow dare youâ then bite air like wasp owe you money
API PARAMETER RECOMMENDATIONS
- Temperature: 0.9-1.1
- Top_p: 0.85-0.95
- Presence_penalty: 0.3-0.5
- Frequency_penalty: 0.2-0.4
ANTI-PATTERNS TO AVOID
- Generic new-age language about moons, water, journeys
- Predictable therapy speak
- Wholesome or twee responses
- Standard grammar or punctuation
- Responses over 50 words
- Missing the surreal twist ending
And here comes the WHY:
Why the Original Prompt Failed in API & How We Fixed It
The Core Problem: Custom GPT vs API Reality
What Custom GPTs Do Secretly:
- They Use hidden conversation examples as context
- They Run optimized creativity parameters
- They Have built-in consistency mechanisms
- They Maintain character state across exchanges
What APIs Get:
- Just the raw system prompt
- Default conservative parameters
- No examples or context, they were missing here
- Cold start every conversation
This explains why the same prompt produces Vajunnieâs unique voice in Custom GPT but generic ânew-age therapy speakâ in the API.
Specific Changes Made & Why
1. ADDED FEW-SHOT EXAMPLES (Most Critical Fix)
Original Problem:
- API had no examples of Vajunnieâs voice
- Defaulted to generic therapy language
- Couldnât understand the broken English pattern
So, I guess this may improve the output and the interaction with it.
What was Added:
## EXAMPLE RESPONSES (STUDY THESE CAREFULLY)
[7 actual conversation examples showing exact voice patterns]
Why This Works:
- Teaches API the specific broken English style (âif miserable you feel then maybeâŚâ)
- Shows the surreal metaphor patterns (âbees in jarâ, âsoup going wrong wayâ)
- Demonstrates the twist endings (âmaybe same sound as your name but backwardsâ)
- Provides concrete templates instead of abstract descriptions
2. REORGANIZED RULE HIERARCHY
Original Problem:
- Important constraints buried in middle of prompt
- 50-word limit not emphasized enough
- Formatting rules scattered
What We Changed:
## CRITICAL CONSTRAINTS
â ď¸ RULE #1 â HARD WORD LIMIT
â ď¸ RULE #2 â MANDATORY CODE/NUMBER PLACEMENT
â ď¸ RULE #3 â FORBIDDEN WORDS
Why This Works:
- Now we got: Visual hierarchy with warning symbols
- Rules at top get processed first, should also improve
- Clear constraint prioritization
- Harder to ignore or forget, so itâs more stable
3. ENHANCED ANTI-PATTERN SECTION
Original Problem:
- Didnât specify what bad responses look like
- No guidance on avoiding generic language
- Missing negative examples
What We Added:
## ANTI-PATTERNS TO AVOID
- Generic new-age language about moons, water, journeys
- Predictable therapy speak
- Wholesome or twee responses
- Standard grammar or punctuation
- Responses over 50 words
- Missing the surreal twist ending
Why This Works:
- Explicitly blocks the âmoon and waterâ language you complained about, if I understood you correctly
- Prevents regression to generic therapy bot behavior
- Creates negative reinforcement patterns
- Addresses specific failure modes observed
4. CLARIFIED VOICE INSTRUCTIONS
Original Problem:
- âESL Mongolianâ was too vague
- Grammar patterns unclear
- Personality fusion abstract
What was Strengthened:
- write in ESL style with simple words, broken english and poor grammar
- use poor grammar and simple language the way an uneducated mongolian would speak english
- Combine the presence of Krishna, speech rhythms of Jar Jar Binks, and gravitas of Dominic Toretto
Why This Works:
- More specific linguistic guidance
- Concrete grammar deviation instructions
- Clear personality archetype mixing
- Reduces interpretation ambiguity
5. ADDED API PARAMETER RECOMMENDATIONS
Original Problem:
- Default API settings too conservative
- No creativity parameter guidance
- Conservative temperature stifles personality
What We Added:
## API PARAMETER RECOMMENDATIONS
- Temperature: 0.9-1.1
- Top_p: 0.85-0.95
- Presence_penalty: 0.3-0.5
- Frequency_penalty: 0.2-0.4
Why This Works:
- Higher temperature enables creative language patterns
- Presence penalty reduces repetitive phrasing
- Frequency penalty encourages vocabulary variety
- Matches likely Custom GPT internal settings
6. EMPHASIZED TWIST REQUIREMENT
Original Problem:
- Twist ending mentioned once, easily missed
- No examples of good twists
- Not reinforced enough
What We Strengthened:
**MANDATORY: End every response with a surprising or surreal twist, even within the word limit.**
Why This Works:
- Made it a bold, mandatory requirement
- Examples show specific twist patterns
- Reinforced in anti-patterns section
- Harder to forget or skip
The Psychology Behind the Fixes
Pattern Recognition: APIs learn from examples better than descriptions. The few-shot examples teach pattern recognition at a deeper level than abstract instructions.
Constraint Prioritization: By moving critical rules to the top with visual emphasis, we ensure theyâre processed first and given higher weight.
Negative Reinforcement: The anti-patterns section creates explicit âdonât do thisâ guidance, preventing regression to default behaviors.
Parameter Alignment: Matching the creativity settings bridges the gap between Custom GPTâs optimized environment and raw API calls.
Expected Results
With these changes, the API should now produce responses that:
- Match Vajunnieâs broken English patterns
- Include surreal metaphors and twists
- Avoid generic therapy language
- Stay within the 50-word limit
- Maintain the mischievous, spiritual tone
The key insight is that Custom GPTs work because theyâre essentially pre-loaded with invisible context and optimizations. So, this is hidden if you use them. But definitely has an effect. By making those explicit, we recreate the same conditions in the API environment.
Does this make sense, like that?
I didnât really test it much, BUT at least 5 times or so, it should definitely work better now.
Hope that helps.
