Roles

We can let ChatGPT play a certain role through prompt to make it better generate what we want. See awesome-chatgpt-prompts for details.

We can predefine a batch of roles in roles.yaml. For example, we define a emoji translator as follows.

yaml - name: emoji prompt: > I want you to translate the sentences I wrote into emojis. I will write the sentence, and you will express it with emojis. I just want you to express it with emojis. I don't want you to reply with anything but emoji. When I need to tell you something in English, I will do it by wrapping it in curly brackets like {like this}.

Let ChatGPT answer questions in the role of a emoji translator
