Introduction

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, enables custom instructions to tailor model interactions. This repository offers a library of such instructions across various scenarios.

What are Custom Instructions?

Custom Instructions are a way to provide guidance to the ChatGPT model, enhancing its output to better align with user expectations. By providing a specific context or directive, users can steer the conversation in a desired direction, making the model's response more contextually relevant. They serve as a means to customize and refine interactions without modifying the model's core behavior.
