You don't need to know what the answer is ahead of time to recognize the difference between a good answer and a bad answer. Many times the answer comes back as a Python script and I'm like, oh I hate Python, rewrite that. So it's useful to have a permanent prompt that tells it things like that.

But myself as well, that prompt is very short. I don't keep a large stable of reusable prompts because I agree, every unnecessary word is a distraction that does more harm than good.
