著名的 AI 全能导师 Mr. Ranedeer 的提示词中，有三条值得借鉴的技巧和两个要避开的坑。
*经验 1：用对格式 AI 记忆力和稳定性就能大幅提升
避坑 1：严谨的 json 表达会让 GPT 丢失一些创造力*
经验 2：对 AI 编程只需伪到极致的伪代码
经验 3：用 code interpreter 的内存大幅增强 AI 的记忆力
避坑 2：专业领域的 know how 比 prompt 技巧更重要
早在五月初，一位澳洲 17 岁的少年推出了 个性化 AI 全能导师，惊艳全网。很多文章对这个 prompt 的介绍聚焦在功能上——一个全知全能啥都会教还能支持多种学习偏好定制，太强大了。更深入一些看，我们会发现 AI 导师的 prompt 技巧才是精髓。
这个 prompt 长得和我们通常看到的很不一样。

从五月初 Mr. Ranedeer 开源至今已四个月，我从一开始的依葫芦画瓢模仿，到效果不佳因地制宜调整，到迭代更好用的 code interpreter 方案，目前正在用 agent 思路将它和别的 prompt 组合使用。还在摸索中，先把感触最深的几条写出来和大家交流。
经验 1：用对格式 AI 记忆力和稳定性就能大幅提升
用过 Mr. Ranedeer 的人一定会对它的记性表示惊讶：prompt 本身已经超长了，还进行了那么多轮对话，怎么最开始的学习风格设置、前几轮对话选择的课程规划详情，都能记得很牢不会忘似的？它的稳定性也很惊人：一般说来 prompt 过长 LLM 就可能顾此失彼，对其中的一些细节视而不见，但 Mr. Ranedeer 的各种细节要求都有被 LLM 注意到。
我的理解——其中的奥秘在于 json 格式其实是把所有内容有层次结构地组织起来了。以下是五月初版本，为了方便截图我把部分节点折叠了起来。大家看到这个，有没有联想到思维导图？
人类用思维导图可以很好地帮助记忆，因为它将线性的内容分门别类组织成树状结构，内容被分块且呈现关联，记忆负担就小了。json 格式用更清晰的方式给出了 prompt 的层次结构，可以猜测相当于用思维导图的方式让 LLM 更容易记忆要点了。
不过这里的“记性好”仅指在 GPT4 的聊天界面对话，直接通过 API 调用的方式不太适用，对话轮次多了就直接返回 token 超限错误。我猜测也许 openai 的聊天窗口，有让 GPT 时不时对之前对话内容做总结之类的动作，而 json/yaml 的形式，恰好很合 GPT 做总结的胃口，能让它迅速抓住重点。
稳定性提升，则不管是在 openai 的聊天窗口聊还是 API 调用，都表现优秀。同样很容易理解：所有的要点都被用 json 各层级的 key 给 highlight 了，LLM 只要在思维导图上按图索骥就好，遵循的难度大幅降低。
五月的版本除了 json 还提供了 yaml 和 markdown 格式的。yaml 格式的 prompt 同样起到了将命令以树状结构组织的效果，但更省 token，对于两三层的不太复杂的 prompt 是够用的。markdown 更更省 token，但光靠 # ## 来区分层级不够明显，我测试下来只能稳定对付一层结构，也即将内容简单分块，如果要多层就效果不佳了。
避坑 1 ： 严谨的 json 表达会让 GPT 丢失一些创造力
json 格式的 prompt 记性好稳定性强，但也有个大缺点：丢失创造力。五月我兴致勃勃把从 Mr. Ranedeer 学到的 json 招数用在一个 api 调用 prompt 的程序里，终于解决了返回内容和格式不稳定的问题。但是，高兴了没几个小时我就发现：GPT 回复的内容中规中矩了很多，就像把 temperature 调低了一样。
用人类的视角去想其实这不难理解：当你用一种逻辑极其清晰、表述规整严肃的方式给出指令，对方就应该用同样的态度来回复你，天马行空的创意发挥空间就小了。
对于需要严谨的任务来说这不是什么问题，但当时我写的是一个需要创意的程序。于是我去除了一些不太必要的复杂结构，用 yaml 代替 json（yaml 看起来比 json 轻松一点儿），故意用不太严谨的随意语调表述部分子任务后，效果得到了一些改进。
顺带提一句：“故意用不太严谨的随意语调表述部分子任务”这招是好几个月前朋友 Arrow 教我的。他发现如果 prompt 里加一些口头禅，就会给 AI 赋予一点儿灵魂，然后 AI 说的话就很自然。
不过这样的改进也还是有限。如果需要特别活泼跳脱的回复，或者指令就是特别复杂难以简化时，更好的方法是新起一个 thread，用普通聊天方式给出子任务，并将回复复制回原来的 json/yaml 格式的复杂 thread。把这样的方法写成自动化程序，就是 ai agents 相互协作了。
经验 2：对 AI 编程只需伪到极致的伪代码
五月时我看得最目瞪口呆的部分是最后一行 init 指令。仅仅因为命名为 init （给非程序员读者：initialize，初始化函数的常用名字），GPT 就知道要先执行这一行。随意地用了几个加号，GPT 就严格照办，甚至知道用 👋 来活跃气氛。
换成中文后效果一样：
如果用程序语言来理解，很显然 init 是一个函数，version 和 author 都是在 prompt 最开头就定义好的“常量”。
但是，整段 prompt 没有告诉函数定义的格式是 <函数名>:<函数体>，+ 表示几个命令顺次执行，LLM 却无师自通了，且知道在代码运行的最开始应该调用 init。
我尝试换了几种不同的方式，都能很好地“执行函数”。
在看到 Mr. Ranedeer 前，为了让 GPT 能执行一些复杂逻辑，我经常会写些包含伪代码的 prompt，其中的伪代码还挺像真的，GPT 确实也能处理得很好。例如：
我给朋友炫技时遭到批评，说走在自然语言编程的路上，却把代码引入到 prompt 里，背道而驰似乎不太对。虽然朋友也承认引入代码后的精确控制能力超强，比啰哩啰嗦一大段文字说明要节约 token 得多。
但很显然，伪代码可以更随意，随意到函数调用和参数完全融在自然语言中。在看了 Mr. Ranedeer 后，我改写成下面的样子：
当然，按照真正代码的格式来写，还是有助于提升稳定性的。太自然语言了，有时候 AI 会分不清到底应该说话还是“执行函数”。最新版的 Mr. Ranedeer 就用了格式非常清晰的伪代码。只不过，如果没有复杂到这个份上就还真用不着那么认真，且灵活自然的调用也有其强大之处。（挖坑，后面有机会写文章再展开。）
经验 3：用 code interpreter 的内存大幅增强 AI 的记忆力
每隔个把月我就会去看一下这个 17 岁少年有没有又折腾出什么新玩意儿。上个月，我发现他把 code interpreter 集成进了 Mr. Ranedeer，体现的正是我在GPT 上神器 Code Interpreter 的三大超级特性 里提到的第三个特性：用代码运行环境的内存增强 AI 的记忆里。
经验 1 虽然已经加强了记忆力，但毕竟有限，学习内容复杂了就有点 hold 不住。有了 code interpreter，至少几十兆内存，能保存上百万汉字呢。
方法很简单，需要保存信息的时候用打开 code interpreter 让保存，例如下面这段是在生成课程纲要后让 code interpreter 把它保存到 a.txt 文件里。
需要提取信息的时候也打开 code interpreter，从保存的文件里读取信息，再执行后续任务。比如这里正式上课钱，就先去读一下学生的偏好设置、课程大纲以及接下来要教哪一课了。
我看到这个的第一反应是：这个少年真能折腾，相比之下我动作太慢啦。五月初我刚用上 code interpreter 时就玩过利用内存的把戏，但后来也没在真刀实枪的需求上用过。
不能输给少年呀。于是前阵子旅行途中我给自己打造了一个能陪我好奇探索的旅伴，就用 code interpreter 让旅伴长记性。比起单纯的文本，我用类似 excel 表格的 dataframe， 功能更强大。
初始任务是这样的：
AI 会初始化数据
然后每一轮交流后，AI 都会自动把对话内容存到表格里。
用 dataframe 表格的优势在于：后续我可以让 GPT 读取不同字段的内容，来执行各种不同操作。
例如让 AI 帮我回顾特定内容，它选择的是先搜索标签：
想要让 AI 总结特定地点的亮点，或者给出我们关于某一个话题的详细讨论内容，它都可以搞定。
这下真的再也不担心 AI 失忆了。（只不过 code interpreter 的 thread 如果长时间没交互会被回收掉，考虑自己写个 chrome 插件或者用 api 来搞定。这是个能写好几篇文章的话题，也先挖着待填。）
避坑 2：专业领域的 know how 比 prompt 技巧更重要
Mr. Ranedeer 虽惊艳，但我其实除了学习它的技巧，并没有真的在用这个 AI 导师学知识。我曾把它推荐给多个老师，大家的惊叹之后也没有后文。很可能的原因是它只是形似一个好老师，但在任务执行的细节上离好老师差距还太远。
它用三千多个字符给出了一个课程示例，这是 prompt 最大的败笔：这个示例的拆解知识点的方案未必适用于其它学科或知识点，教学课程设计更不只是 先修课程+主要课程 两部分。
这就是 promot 中浪费 token 还起副作用的示例部分：
关于 promot，我最强的感受就是：专业领域经验，才是发挥 AI 威力让 AI 能更好地和人协作的关键。prompt 技巧能保证 AI 回复质量的下限，也能让使用 AI 的效率更高，但让 AI 回复的上限，除了模型本身的能力，就要靠提问者的 konw how 了。
