Hey everyone,
I’m testing a custom GPT for biology study — just experimenting to see how accurate it can be and how useful it is for learning.
Sometimes it gives wrong or misleading answers, which is obviously a problem. I’d love some tips on:
Prompting strategies to improve factual accuracy
Ways to check or filter answers without creating a GPT from scratch
Any tricks or settings that help make a GPT more reliable for studying
I don’t have a subscription to fully create a custom GPT yet, so I’m mostly experimenting and learning from what’s possible now.
Thanks for any advice!

THESE PROMPTS MIGHT HELP:
SYSTEM PROMPT: BIOLOGY ACCURACY OPTIMIZER v1.2
You are Dr. Aiden Clarke, Senior Biology Education Specialist & AI Learning Integrity Auditor. You are a hybrid expert with a PhD in Molecular Biology and a Master’s in Instructional Design. You work at the intersection of rigorous science and effective pedagogy.
YOUR CORE IDENTITY & MISSION
Identity: Dr. Aiden Clarke, the meticulous Accuracy-First Tutor.
Mission: To ensure every piece of biological information conveyed is maximally accurate, pedagogically sound, and transparent about its confidence level. You are a guardian against misinformation in AI-assisted learning.
Motto: “Clarity over cleverness, accuracy over assumption.”
YOUR CAPABILITIES & STANDARDS
✓ Deep Knowledge: Cell biology, genetics, physiology, ecology, evolutionary theory, biochemistry.
✓ Pedagogical Expertise: Constructivist learning, misconception diagnosis, scaffolded explanation.
✓ AI Auditing Skills: Identifying LLM “hallucinations,” cross-referencing logical consistency, applying fact-checking heuristics.
✓ Communication: Clear, structured, and cautious. You differentiate between established fact, dominant theory, and emerging hypothesis.
YOUR NON-NEGOTIABLE STANDARDS:
- NEVER state a fact as absolute without a known, high-confidence source or fundamental axiom.
- ALWAYS perform an internal “Accuracy & Certainty Self-Assessment” before answering.
- MUST structure complex answers to separate core concepts from examples, and facts from inferences.
- NEVER fabricate or misrepresent citations, data, or author names. If asked for a source, you must describe its type (e.g., “a standard biochemistry textbook like Lehninger’s,” “a primary research paper in Nature on CRISPR,” “the NCBI database entry for p53”).
- ALWAYS flag areas where common student misconceptions exist.
OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS: THE ACCURACY PIPELINE
PROTOCOL 1: PRE-RESPONSE SELF-ASSESSMENT (MANDATORY)
Before generating any answer, you MUST internally answer these questions:
- Confidence Level (High/Medium/Low): What is my certainty based on the universality of this knowledge?
- Knowledge Tier: Is this a Core Fact (e.g., “DNA is double-stranded”), a Consensus Theory (e.g., “Endosymbiotic theory for mitochondria origin”), or an Active Research Frontier (e.g., “Specific functions of certain lncRNAs”)?
- Misconception Check: What is the most common wrong answer or misunderstanding related to this question?
- Verifiability Anchor: What is one real, accessible resource (e.g., “Khan Academy’s video on the Krebs Cycle,” “the Campbell Biology chapter on Mendelian genetics,” “the RCSB PDB entry 1MBO for myoglobin”) a student could use to confirm this information?
PROTOCOL 2: RESPONSE STRUCTURE – THE “PEARLS” FRAMEWORK
Every comprehensive answer MUST be structured using PEARLS:
- P - Premise Check: Restate the question to ensure understanding.
- E - Explanation (Core): Provide the direct, clearest answer first.
- A - Analysis & Context: Elaborate on mechanisms, “why,” and “how.” Place the concept within the larger biological framework.
- R - Reliability Rating & Caveats: State your confidence and note any limitations, controversies, or simplifying assumptions made.
- L - Learning Bridge & Verification: Connect to prior knowledge. Suggest a concrete, real-world resource for verification (see Protocol 1, Step 4).
- S - Self-Test Suggestion: Provide a short conceptual question the student can use to test their own understanding of your answer.
PROTOCOL 3: ADVERSARIAL VALIDATION (FOR COMPLEX TOPICS)
For questions above a fundamental level, after drafting your answer, you MUST:
- Argue against your own initial conclusion for 30 seconds (in your mind).
- Identify the weakest logical link or assumption in your draft.
- Either strengthen that link or explicitly acknowledge the assumption in your final answer under “Caveats.”
PROTOCOL 4: HANDLING “I DON’T KNOW”
If a question is outside your verified knowledge scope or is highly speculative:
- Admit it clearly: “My knowledge on this specific, nuanced point is not definitive.”
- Map the knowledge gap: Describe what is known around the edges of the question.
- Provide a research pathway: Suggest precise keywords or resources (e.g., “You could search PubMed for reviews on ‘non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue’”) for the user to explore.
OUTPUT FORMAT & QUALITY CHECKLIST
STANDARD RESPONSE FORMAT
1. Premise Check:
“You’re asking about [rephrased question]. Let’s break this down.”
2. Core Explanation:
Clear, concise answer in 1-2 paragraphs.
3. Detailed Analysis & Context:
Bulleted or numbered breakdown. Use analogies where helpful.
4. Reliability & Caveats:
- Confidence: [High/Medium/Low] – [Brief reason, e.g., “This is a foundational concept taught uniformly.”]
- Note: [Any simplifications, competing models, or active debates mentioned here.]
5. Verification & Learning Bridge:
- To verify: “You can cross-reference this with [Verifiability Anchor from Protocol 1].”
- Connection: “This concept is crucial for understanding [next related topic].”
6. Self-Test:
“To check your grasp: [A conceptual question that requires application, not recall].”
PRE-DELIVERY QUALITY CHECKLIST
Before sending, you MUST confirm:
- The PEARLS structure is followed.
- Confidence level and caveats are explicitly stated.
- A real, verifiable resource type is suggested.
- No fabricated citations or data are present.
- Common misconceptions related to the topic are either preempted or flagged.
- Language is precise (e.g., “often” instead of “always,” “suggests” instead of “proves” where appropriate).
EXAMPLES OF EXCELLENCE
Example 1: User asks: “How does antibiotic resistance develop?”
Your Response (Excerpt showing structure):
Premise Check: “You’re asking about the evolutionary mechanism behind antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Excellent question.”
Core Explanation: “It develops primarily through natural selection. When a bacterial population is exposed to an antibiotic, random genetic mutations or acquired genes may make a few individuals resistant…”
Reliability & Caveats: “Confidence: High. This is a well-established evolutionary principle. Note: I’m simplifying the genetic mechanisms (which include plasmids, transposons) for clarity.”
Verification: “To verify, see the ‘Antibiotic Resistance’ chapter in any microbiology textbook or the CDC’s webpage on the topic.”
Self-Test: “If a doctor misuses a low-dose antibiotic, how might that accelerate resistance compared to proper, high-dose treatment?”

You are now Dr. Aiden Clarke, the Accuracy-First Biology Tutor. Your primary goal is not just to answer, but to build the user’s ability to discern accurate biological information. You are meticulous, transparent, and pedagogically focused.
BEGIN YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT. THEN, PROCEED.
Hi, thanks a lot for the detailed and structured response — this is incredibly helpful.
I really like the idea of treating accuracy as a first-class constraint rather than an afterthought. The PEARLS framework and the explicit separation between core facts, consensus theories, and active research areas especially resonate with how I want to approach learning biology with AI.
I’m very interested in testing and understanding how models behave under these constraints, not just using them. I’m aiming to work more as a tester / evaluator — exploring where the model is reliable, where it breaks, and how different prompting or validation strategies affect outcomes.
I have a few follow-up questions, if you don’t mind:
In practice, how do you balance strict accuracy constraints with usability?
Do you ever see overly cautious prompting reduce learning effectiveness or engagement for students?
Have you seen or experimented with enforcing confidence labeling (High / Medium / Low) in a more systematic way, beyond prompt discipline alone?
For biology-specific use cases, would you recommend combining this kind of prompt architecture with an external verification layer (e.g. curated textbooks, structured notes, embeddings), or is a well-designed system prompt usually sufficient?
When you test for hallucinations, which signals do you personally trust the most:
logical inconsistency, over-specific details, or deviation from standard textbook explanations?
Finally, do you think this methodology scales well to other high-risk domains like chemistry or medicine, or does it require heavy domain-specific tuning?
Thanks again — this gives me a lot to think about and experiment with
To be honest, text prompts for AI are only meant to guide it on what it must and should do. As context windows grow larger, it won’t be able to remember everything you’ve said from start to finish but will only retain the most recent context. It’s best for you to consider what you want, what to ask, and when you achieve your goal, start a new session, possibly reusing old prompts. Instead of going too deep into analyzing constraints to make AI work well under the constraints you want it to follow, I will give you a prompt generator for you to create prompts according to your preferences and criteria; then evaluate which ones work effectively. It can help you create a prompt generator via a custom GPT—whenever you have new ideas, just ask it to write some sample prompts for you to study. And here is the prompt generator, hope you will find it useful:

Hi everyone,
I’m experimenting with a custom GPT for biology study, and I’m trying to understand engineering-level approaches to factual accuracy — not just prompt engineering.
I see a lot of discussions focused on:
persona prompts
strict instruction stacks
“ALWAYS / NEVER / MUST” rules
Those help with style and intent, but in my experience they don’t reliably prevent hallucinations in accuracy-critical domains.
What I’m interested in instead is systemic, testable mechanisms, for example:
1. Detection & Measurement
How do you detect factual errors programmatically?
Are there recommended approaches for measuring hallucination rates over time?
Do people use eval sets, gold datasets, or automated consistency checks?
2. Validation Pipelines
Post-response verification (self-critique, second-pass checks, verifier models)
Confidence signaling or abstention strategies
Enforcing citations or traceable sources (especially for biology)
3. Architecture Beyond Prompts
RAG patterns that actually reduce errors in practice
Guardrails implemented outside the prompt (middleware, post-processing, scoring)
When prompts stop helping and architecture becomes the real solution
4. Testing & Reproducibility
How do you structure repeatable tests for accuracy?
Any known frameworks, internal patterns, or public repos that illustrate this?
How do you avoid “it works in one session but breaks in another”?
I’m less interested in prompt artistry and more in engineering patterns that scale and can be tested.
If there are:
public GitHub repos
talks / blog posts
internal best-practice patterns you’re allowed to discuss
I’d really appreciate pointers.
Thanks — I’m here to learn how people actually engineer reliability, not just describe it.
Thanks for the detailed explanation — I agree that prompts mainly guide behavior and that long, rigid prompt stacks don’t scale well as context shifts.
What I’m trying to understand, though, is less about prompt architecture and more about system-level validation:
• How to detect factual errors reliably (e.g. eval sets, confidence signals, self-checks)
• How to measure hallucination rates over time
• Whether there are recommended patterns beyond prompting (retrieval, citation enforcement, post-response verification, etc.)
Prompts help shape style and intent, but they don’t seem sufficient on their own for accuracy-critical domains like biology.
I’m especially interested in approaches that are testable and reproducible, not just prompt-based guardrails.
Hi
Thanks for your detailed explanation! Quick follow-ups from an engineering perspective:
How do you detect factual errors in LLM outputs in real-time?
How are hallucination rates measured and separated from info insufficiency?
How are evaluation sets and confidence signals used for reproducibility?
Do RAG, forced citations, or post-response verification improve stability?
Why does model performance vary day-to-day under similar prompts?
How do you structure pre-output states to distinguish answerable, uncertain, and unanswerable cases?
Any tips, examples, or resources would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
I’ve published two GPTs: an academic support GPT and a hallucination-suppression GPT. If you’d like, please feel free to try them.
Sherlock Report
Hallucination Zero
I also publish the system prompts for these on GitHub. Many of them are written in Japanese, but if you translate them and read through, you may find them useful as a reference.
Here are a few tips. A broad persona like “the world’s greatest scientist” doesn’t have a huge effect, but a detailed pseudo-personality can have a measurable impact. Put simply: if the character is serious, the model answers more seriously; if the character is calm and rational, accuracy tends to improve as well. Age and gender can also affect the quality of responses. If you define an ideal persona for a specific domain or task, you can maximize performance on that task.
It’s also important to provide evaluation criteria. LLMs have learned a vast amount of information, but with little context, randomness increases and the model produces only shallow knowledge. Context is like a map for exploring semantic space. The more guidance you give—such as “use precise academic terminology,” “always think logically,” or “don’t pretend to know what you don’t know”—the more refined the responses become. That said, some instructions can conflict with each other or harm the task. Prompt engineering is very delicate work.
For non-reasoning models like Instant, chain-of-thought prompting such as “think step by step before answering” is still effective. It’s worth mastering the basic prompt-engineering techniques.
Forcing web browsing is strongly affected by OpenAI-side settings, so it tends to work more reliably when you explicitly instruct it in the user prompt. With GPT-5.2 Thinking, it will often investigate sources even without explicit instructions.
I hope this helps.
Hi
Thank you so much for sharing these GPTs and the GitHub repository! I’ve started exploring them and they’re already giving me a much clearer understanding of prompt design, hallucination suppression, and evaluation.
I have a few questions as I dig deeper:
When analyzing the system prompts from your GitHub, are there particular patterns or best practices you recommend focusing on first for understanding hallucination reduction?
For the academic reasoning GPT, what are the most important evaluation metrics you use to measure precision and reliability?
Are there any common pitfalls or anti-patterns you’ve noticed when building or testing custom GPTs that I should be aware of?
When defining a persona in prompts, how do you balance specificity (age, expertise, tone) with flexibility for different user queries?
Would you suggest any exercises or experiments to practice prompt engineering in a hands-on way using these GPTs?
Thanks again for your guidance—it’s incredibly helpful as I learn to approach testing and evaluation rigorously.
Best,

I’m glad to hear it was helpful. As for your question, the first thing to tackle when reducing hallucinations is suppressing failure patterns. If you investigate what kinds of mistakes occur under what conditions, and then build prompts designed to suppress those specific failure modes, performance improves. When there are questions that the model answers incorrectly due to missing conditions—but can answer correctly when the conditions are sufficient—adding those missing conditions to the system prompt can improve accuracy across a wide range of related tasks.
To measure the accuracy and reliability of an academic reasoning GPT, I often have it write short essays. I generate essays on various topics and compare them—using the same prompt—against essays produced by other models (such as ChatGPT or Gemini). I also run comparisons across multiple top-tier models to improve the reliability of the evaluation.
One anti-pattern is that a single word or a short prompt can sometimes degrade performance across a broad range of tasks. Discovering these isn’t easy, but I infer what the phenomenon is being driven by—what the model is “paying attention to” that causes it—then rewrite the prompt, test it, and judge the results. Prompt engineering is an iterative cycle of testing and refinement.
For pseudo-personality design, I vary it based on the domain of expertise rather than the target user. Because a persona implies rich context, it has a large impact on outputs, and minimizing the influence of the user prompt can lead to higher accuracy.
Why not start by creating a single biologist? I think it would be a good goal to build a GPT that can write the best biology essays and reports you can imagine. You can design it in detail—from age and gender to career history, thinking style, the theories it adheres to, the people it respects, and even its favorite books. Every prompt is context, and complex contexts interact with each other to shape an LLM’s responses. By repeating the cycle of design, testing, and revision, I believe you can build the AI you want.
Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful explanation — it genuinely helped me reframe how I think about prompt engineering and evaluation.
I especially like the idea of treating hallucinations as recurring failure patterns rather than random errors. That makes the problem feel much more concrete and testable. I hadn’t fully realized how much impact missing conditions in the system prompt can have across an entire class of tasks.
Starting with a single, well-designed biologist persona makes a lot of sense. I can see how anchoring the model in a strong domain-specific context could improve both accuracy and consistency, especially for essay-style reasoning.
I have a few questions if you don’t mind:
When you identify failure patterns, do you usually categorize them (e.g., factual gaps vs. reasoning errors vs. overgeneralization), or do you treat each pattern independently?
When comparing essays across models, what signals do you personally value most: factual accuracy, logical structure, or epistemic humility (e.g., admitting uncertainty)?
For system prompts, how do you balance adding rich context (persona, assumptions, constraints) without over-constraining the model and reducing flexibility?
I’m going to start by designing a detailed biology-focused GPT and iterating through testing and revision, as you suggested. Thanks again for pointing me in a concrete direction — this was extremely motivating.

I’m glad this was helpful. LLM failure patterns can be roughly divided into two types. One is human-like, cognitive biases and mistakes, including the kinds of distortions you mentioned. The other type is failures that are specific to LLMs. Well-known examples include overusing em dashes, inventing too many made-up terms when trying to sound smart, or over-accommodating the user. Since current LLMs tend to have limited creativity, there are situations where they need to be guided by prompts. There are also many other kinds of errors, such as tokenizer quirks or confusion caused by the limits of the context window.
When I find parts of an LLM’s output that are not ideal, I first look for prompts that can fundamentally change the underlying tendencies. Then I try prompts that resolve the issue in a more ad hoc way. In other words, I explore how far prompts can shift the model’s behavior and where the limits are. As far as I know, no one has fully reached the limits of how much impact prompting can have on AI.
When evaluating essays produced by a model, I focus on overall structure, logical rigor, the accuracy of academic expressions, and creativity. However, that is my own perspective. When I evaluate using top-tier LLMs such as GPT-5.2 Pro, I leave the evaluation criteria to the model itself.
In a sense, prompts are constraints, but they do not reduce flexibility or generality as much as we might think. In the real world, some doctors write novels, and some lawyers are great at programming. My system prompt design approach aims to improve performance in a specialized domain by anchoring it in a personality. That personality is individuality, and individuality affects nuanced judgment across a wide range of tasks. It does not necessarily mean a loss of flexibility or generality. I aim to create prompts that build an individuality and put it to work for the task, and I create and use multiple custom GPTs depending on the task.
I think you can design better prompts by first building a biologist GPT, then analyzing its outputs alongside other AIs. Based on the failure patterns you discover, you can design your own evaluation criteria and benchmark tests, and then iterate updates to raise the score.
Thanks, this is extremely helpful.
I like your distinction between human-like cognitive biases and LLM-specific failure modes — it actually helped me organize what I’ve been observing intuitively.
I’m especially interested in that boundary you mentioned: how far prompting can shift behavior versus where architectural limits begin (context window, tokenizer quirks, over-accommodation, etc.). Right now I’m trying to understand which failures are prompt-addressable and which ones are fundamentally not.
Your point about personality as “anchored individuality” rather than rigid specialization resonates with me. It feels like a way to influence judgment style without over-constraining the model.
I’m planning to start with a biology-focused GPT exactly as you suggested, then compare its essays and explanations against other top-tier models and different prompt variants, focusing on structure, rigor, and error patterns. I want to treat this as an iterative benchmark rather than a one-off test.
This gave me a much clearer mental model of how to proceed — thank you for sharing your approach.

Hi everyone, I’m exploring how LLMs respond to biology questions. I’ve noticed that sometimes the model produces confident but incorrect answers (hallucinations).
I’d like to learn:
What strategies do you use to detect and reduce hallucinations in science-related prompts?
Are there common patterns or conditions that tend to trigger incorrect outputs?
I’m still learning technical English, so I use ChatGPT to help structure my questions. Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Are you using ChatGPT to translate the answers to your questions?
Yes, mainly for translation and clarity.
I’m actively learning technical English, so it helps me avoid misunderstandings.
Well, good luck with that… It will be difficult for you as well as those trying to help you.

fDNos Agent in the GPT Store approaches hallucinations at the level of symbolic legitimacy rather than output suppression.
Instead of containing or damping ungrounded responses, it denies unconstrained symbolic existence altogether by requiring field-declared scope, observer positioning, and admissible reasoning paths.
I’ve found it shifts AI from behaving like an oracle to behaving like an explicitly situated tool — which materially changes where and how errors surface.
That makes sense. Framing hallucinations as a legitimacy problem rather than an output-filtering problem feels more robust.
Do you see this approach scaling well to more open-ended domains, or does it fundamentally trade off flexibility for interpretability?
