Instructor: Negative Constraints
See how NEVER rules strip fluff and produce exactly what you asked for.
Concept
Negative constraints (NEVER, AVOID, DO NOT) block the model's default conversational behavior.
Hints
- Run as-is first — notice the intro phrases and extra commentary
- Add NEVER rules like: "NEVER add introductory phrases", "NEVER provide extra explanation"
- Try "Output ONLY the numbered list" as a positive rule to pair with NEVER rules
- Compare the two outputs — the difference should be dramatic
