I don't understand the nuances of prompting. I literally talk to it like I would a person.
I say "My values are [ ], and I want to make sure when I do things they are aligned."
And then later, I will say "I did this today, how does that align with the values I mentioned earlier?" [and we talk]
I am most definitely not qualified for one of those prompt engineering jobs. Lol. I am typing English into a chat box. No A/B testing, etc. If I don't like what it does I give it a rule to not do that anymore by saying "Please don't [ ] when you reply to me."
There is almost definitely a better way, but I'm just chatting with it. Asking it to roleplay or play a game seems to work. It loves to follow rules inside the context of "just playing a game".
This is probably too abstract to be meaningful though.

That's a prompt; and one I don't think I would have tried, even from your first post.
Prompting overall is still quite experimental. There are patterns that generally work, but you often have to just try several different approaches. If you find a prompt works well, it's worth sharing.
