Prompt Library
This Prompt Library is a curated collection of tested prompts designed to help students, faculty, and staff effectively use AI tools across academic and administrative tasks. By providing structured examples and best practices, it reduces the learning curve and promotes responsible, consistent use of generative AI. Its role is to guide adoption by making AI more accessible, reliable, and aligned with the university’s goals and standards.
User Prompts
A user prompt is the input or instruction provided by the user to guide an AI system’s response. It typically reflects the user’s intent, such as asking a question, requesting a task, or giving specific directions. The clarity and detail of a user prompt directly influence the relevance and quality of the output. Well-crafted user prompts often include context, constraints, or examples to help the AI generate more accurate and useful responses. In short, the user prompt acts as the primary driver of the interaction from the user’s side.

System Prompts
A system prompt is a set of instructions or guidelines given to an AI model to shape its overall behavior and responses throughout a conversation. It operates behind the scenes, defining tone, style, boundaries, and any rules the AI should follow. Unlike user prompts, system prompts are usually not visible to the user but strongly influence how the AI interprets and responds to inputs. They can include constraints such as avoiding certain topics, maintaining a specific persona, or adhering to formatting rules. Essentially, the system prompt establishes the framework within which all user interactions are handled.
